It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. Throughout the description, same and similar reference numbers may be used to identify same and similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. 6 depicts the drop-in stake stub detail in a drop-in position in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. 5 depicts a drop-in stake stub detail attached to a bottom of a side rail section in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.įIG. 4 depicts a front elevational view of the hinged and sectioned drop-in flatbed side said in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.įIG. 3 depicts a rear elevational view of the hinged and sectioned drop-in flatbed side rails in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.įIG. 2 depicts a side elevational view of the hinged and sectioned drop-in flatbed side rails in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.įIG. 1 depicts a top perspective view of the hinged and sectioned drop-in flatbed side rails according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.įIG. Other aspects and advantages of embodiments of the disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrated by way of example of the principles of the disclosure.įIG. The traverse pocket comprises rails configured to receive at least one loading ramp and latch it therein. Furthermore, a flatbed comprising a traverse pocket underneath the flatbed and behind a rear license plate is disclosed. Additionally, a stake for a lateral side of the flatbed and a spring loaded pin are configured to be received into the stake proximal one end and into the side rail(s) adjacent the one end. Also, stake stubs are each attached to a second hinge plate of each at least one hinge and are configured drop-in receivable into a stake pocket. A ‘stake truck’ has no sides but has steel upright pillars, which may be removable, again used to retain the load.Ī disclosed flatbed truck side rail and stake pocket system includes side rail sections for each lateral side of the flatbed, wherein each side rail comprises at least one hinge attached at a first hinge plate and the side rails together span each lateral side of the flatbed. To retain the load there are often low sides which may be hinged down for loading, as a ‘drop-side’ truck. Since there is no roof and no fixed sides, provision is required to secure loads. This allows for quick and easy loading of goods, and consequently they are used to transport heavy loads that are not delicate or vulnerable to rain, and also for abnormal loads that require more space than is available on a closed body.Ī flatbed has a solid bed, usually of wooden planks. As the name suggests, its bodywork is just an entirely flat, level ‘bed’ with no sides or roof. The present invention relates to a flatbed for a truck with side rails and loading ramp.Ī flatbed truck is a type of truck which can be either towed or have four wheels.
