Custom Aluminum Flatbed Truck Beds
American-made aluminum flatbed truck beds — built to your exact spec for the trucks and fleets that put them to work.
When a factory bed can't keep up, a purpose-built flatbed turns your truck into a real workhorse. Wickum Weld manufactures custom aluminum flatbed truck beds welded by hand in Vancouver, WA and built to your exact specifications — whether you need a replacement bed for a single rig or matched beds across a fleet. Built to haul, built to last, and built around the way you work.
Commercial Flatbed Series
The Wickum Flatbed is the heart of our Commercial Series, built for the fleets, construction crews, utility services, and agricultural operations that run hard every day. Each one is made from 5000- and 6000-series aluminum and built unique to your needs — from headboards and lumber racks to toolboxes and towing options.
Every flatbed is welded by hand at our Vancouver, WA manufacturing facility using American-sourced materials. The deckboards are mechanically fastened — hucked together so the frame flexes with the load without bending or cracking — and the fastening system is hidden inside the side rails for a sleek, easy-to-clean surface. Whether you're replacing a worn-out bed or outfitting a new chassis, we build it to fit and to last.

Why We Build Aluminum
Every Wickum Flatbed is built from aluminum, and that's a deliberate choice. For working trucks, aluminum delivers a combination of advantages that's hard to beat:
More Haul Capacity — Aluminum's lighter weight means more of your truck's rating goes to payload instead of the bed itself.
Better Fuel Mileage — Less bed weight means less fuel burned hauling it around, mile after mile.
Corrosion Resistance — Marine- and aircraft-grade aluminum stands up to road salt, moisture, and the elements without rust — a major advantage in wet, coastal, and winter conditions.
Long-Term Looks — A clean aluminum deck holds up over years of hard use and helps a truck hold its value.
Our durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum build gives you more haul capacity and better mileage than a comparable steel flatbed, without giving up the strength a working truck demands.

Every Wickum Flatbed is made to order, with length and width fully customizable to your truck. Common configurations include:

If you have a configuration in mind, we'll work with you from design through delivery — every weld done in-house.
Toolbox Integration
A flatbed and its storage should work as one system. Wickum Weld builds toolbox integration right into the bed, so your gear has a dependable home that fits flush and stays clear of your cargo.
Our underbody and topside flatbed toolboxes with T-Locks are modular and built for any use case — from a series of small boxes for organization to a single box running the full length of your deck. Each one is welded from the same aluminum as the bed and built to your spec, with drop-down, lift-up, swinging, or double-door configurations. Whether you want one box or a coordinated storage layout across the whole flatbed, we design the toolboxes and the bed together as one purpose-built unit.
