The Structural Backbone: Rigorous 4-Step Finish

Bradford Built ensures their steel beds stand the test of time and severe weather. Every Steel Workbed is fabricated using premium 1/8” thick tread plate steel featuring built-in tapered rear corners to guarantee maximum turning clearance for close-coupled trailers. It is then put through a rigorous 4-step paint process that includes blast media cleaning, an acid etching wash, a high-quality primer, and a thick powder-coat top layer. This meticulous process provides incredible rust resistance and allows Bradford Built to back the Workbed with an industry-leading 3-year paint warranty.

Comprehensive Standard Features

  • 4" Flip Down Rails: Most models come standard with 4" hinged siderails for instant flat-deck conversion. These rails have brackets at the front and back for a lumber tailgate and feature at least two flush-mounted tie-down rings for securing loads.

  • Formed Headache Rack: A signature Bradford Built look featuring a new bolt-on design for a better paint finish and fitment to your truck cab. It comes standard with stop, reverse, and side marker lights.
  • Enhanced Body Styling: Extended deeper skirting gives the bed a more 'finished' and streamlined look. Features built-in Stake Pockets for securing loads or adding custom sides.
  • Electrical & Accessories: Full LED lighting all around, heavy-duty mudflaps, and a fully sealed wiring harness with an integrated 7-pole trailer plug-in box to prevent electrical shorts in wet conditions.
