The Triple C Flatbed is as tough of a flatbed as you can find. It is engineered to withstand demanding towing situations encountered by farmers, ranchers, and contractors. The 2-5/16", 30,000 lb. ball is recessed beneath the deck and accessible through a door. The ball is mounted on 6" channel iron reinforced with 3/8"x3-1/2" plate. Safety chain points are located on each side of the ball. The rear drop hitch is constructed of two 5" channel iron uprights connected at the base by a 4"x2"x1/4" cross tube. A ½" thick, three hole hitch plate is welded to the center of the cross tube. Four 3/16"x2-3/4" stake pockets are welded onto both sides of the bed.
