Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dovetail bed truck, and what is it used for?
A dovetail bed truck has a flat deck with the rear section angled downward, bringing the loading angle down so equipment drives on without scraping. Landscapers, contractors, and equipment haulers use them for mowers, skid steers, and compact machinery.
How much does a dovetail truck flatbed cost?
Pricing depends on deck length, material, ramp configuration, and options like toolboxes or stake sides. Our dovetail bodies start at accessible price points and scale up with customization.
What are the loading advantages of a flatbed truck with a dovetail?
The angled rear deck cuts the approach angle significantly compared to a flat deck with ramps on the back. Low clearance mowers and tracked equipment load without bottoming out or catching the belly pan, which shows up over hundreds of loads a season.
What's the difference between a dovetail landscape truck and a standard flatbed?
A standard flatbed is flat front to back, so loading equipment means long ramps and a steeper climb. A dovetail landscape truck drops the rear portion of the deck and pairs it with integrated ramps. Dovetails also usually include the tool racking landscape crews need.
Can a dovetail truck flatbed be customized with ramps or tie-downs?
Yes. Fold-up ramps, slide-out ramps, and full-width gates, depending on what you load. Tie-down options include stake pockets, recessed D rings, and rub rails placed around your actual equipment positions.
What weight capacity does a dovetail bed truck support?
Capacity comes from the chassis rating plus the frame and crossmember structure underneath. The dovetail section gets engineered for the loading forces equipment creates, transitioning up the ramps, which is where a poorly built dovetail eventually fails.
Which truck chassis are compatible with your dovetail bodies?
One-ton cab and chassis platforms up through medium-duty trucks. Deck length is limited by cab-to-axle dimension, and equipment weight determines the class you need.
