Lifetime Warranty

Highway Products understands that your truck isn’t just transportation—it’s your livelihood. That’s why every Strongback Flatbed is built with the durability, functionality, and reliability that working professionals demand.

For decades, Strongback has been the go-to choice for welders, contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, towing operators, ranchers, landscapers, and fleet managers who need a flatbed that works as hard as they do. When your business depends on your truck, Strongback delivers—day in, day out.

Strongback™: Built for the people who make a living out of their truck.


Configure your Strongback Aluminum Flatbed with these standard features and options.

Choose a setup that supports your workflow: a durable baseline of standard components (like the heavy-duty tapered deck, jailbar headboard, integrated tail apron solutions, and billet bow-eye tie-down points) and then optional upgrades that add capability where you need it most—towing hardware, access steps and grab handles, load lighting, cargo control (like lumber stops and winches), and weatherproof underbody storage—so your flatbed works like a purpose-built tool, not a compromise.

WHY AN HPI™ Strongback™ Flatbed 



Designed Specifically for Your Truck and Your Work, Not Universal. Make and model -Specific Engineering

Every Strongback flatbed starts with your truck’s specific year, make, model, and make and model design to ensure precise fitment to your frame rails, wheelbase, and mounting points. Beyond truck fitment, Strongback’s modular configuration system lets you design around your actual workflow. If you’re a landscape contractor who needs maximum storage and never tows gooseneck trailers, you can configure four underbody boxes with a plain deck and lumber stops. If you’re a rancher hauling livestock trailers weekly, you’ll want the integrated gooseneck hitch with hatch and rear load lights. Strongback adapts to how you work—not the other way around.

Structural Engineering That Lasts Decades, Not Years, 100% Welded

Strongback flatbeds use a structural design that exceeds industry standards: distribute loads evenly across the entire deck. The difference becomes obvious over time. Rivet-assembled flatbeds develop rattles, loose connections, and stress cracks at rivet points after heavy use. Strongback’s fully welded construction creates a monolithic structure where the deck acts as a single unit; no mechanical fasteners to fail, no rivets to pop under load cycling.


Professional Appearance That Reflects Your Business.  Clean Lines, Powder-Coated Finishes, Attention to Detail

Your work truck is often the first impression customers get of your business. Strongback flatbeds are designed to look as good as they perform. Every weld is top notch. Every component is finished for demanding professional standards.
A 10-year-old Strongback still looks professional even after heavy use.


Seamless Integration with Modern Truck Technology. Factory Backup Cameras, Sensors, and Safety Systems Keep Working

Modern trucks come equipped with backup cameras, parking sensors. Cheaper flatbed manufacturers ignore these systems or force you to sacrifice functionality. Highway Products takes the opposite approach: we integrate your factory safety equipment into the Strongback structure.


Storage Solutions That Don’t Sacrifice Deck Space. Underbody Boxes Utilize Wasted Spaces

One of the biggest frustrations with flatbed trucks is losing storage capacity when you remove the factory bed. Strongback solves this with underbody storage boxes that mount under the body space that would otherwise be empty air. You can configure up to four weatherproof aluminum boxes (front driver, front passenger, rear driver, rear passenger) without reducing your deck space, payload capacity, or ground clearance.

Built to Last Forever Backed by Lifetime Warranty.

When we say “built to last forever,” we’re not exaggerating. Strongback flatbeds carry an unlimited lifetime warranty on structural components—the aluminum framework, deck, welded joints, and load-bearing elements. Not 1 year. Not 3 years. Not “limited lifetime with exclusions.” Lifetime. Period. We warranty the structure for as long as you own it, and the warranty transfers if you sell the truck or move the flatbed to a different vehicle.
