Maximize Your Truck's Potential with a Bed Slide: Everything You Need to Know

When transporting your equipment and gear in your truck, efficiency & convenience are key. Truck bed slides are one of the most convenient truck equipment pieces, providing you with easy access to your entire truck bed and reducing stress on your body when putting gear in and taking it out. 

What is a Truck Bed Slide?

Truck bed slides are trays mounted in the truck bed on rails to slide in and out. Most cargo slides have locking points to keep your slide from slamming into the end and moving uncontrollably. Bed slides are compatible with pickup trucks and service bodies.

Benefits of Bed Slides

Convenient Access

One of the key advantages to having a bed slide is the convenient access it provides. When sliding out your bed slide, you eliminate the need to climb into the bed or reach over bed rails. This reduces the stress caused on your body when moving your gear between the truck bed and the job.

Heavy Load Support

Truck bed slides are designed to handle heavy loads. Built with durability in mind, bed slides can transport your equipment without worrying about damaging your truck bed or slide. Highway Products offers bed slides from 1,200 lbs all the way to 4,000 lbs load capacities.

Compatibility with Truck Tool Boxes

Bed slides are compatible with truck tool boxes & equipment, allowing you to combine storage solutions to fit your needs. Some common truck equipment combinations with bed slides are side mount tool boxes, crossover boxes and ladder racks. Bed slides are not compatible with any other truck equipment which sits inside of the truck bed.

Mounting Tools and Gear

After installing your bed slide, you can proceed to load it with your gear and tools. Some bed slides come with tie down points to secure your equipment. With larger and stationary tools, you can look to mount them to the bed slide to keep them secure during both use and transportation.
