Rugged, Dependable Bale Handling
Feeding is one of the most important daily tasks on every livestock operation. Equipment must perform at full capacity under adverse conditions. Our HydraBed® system meets and exceeds those tough conditions and equips your 3/4 ton or larger truck for a wide range of farm and ranch jobs. The flush-mounted, live-hydraulic powered bale handler is totally integrated into the rugged flatbed.

Winter feeding, summer hay hauling, year-round trailer towing and many other lifting tasks are easily and safely accomplished. Fingertip hydraulic controls enable you to haul, transport and/or unroll two large round or square bales. Generations of farm and ranch families across North America have proven the rugged dependability of the HydraBed® system on their operations for over three decades.

The HydraBed® is a rugged, hydraulic truck bale bed designed to make loading, transporting, and feeding more efficient across demanding ranch and jobsite environments. Built for ¾-ton and larger trucks, the HydraBed integrates directly into your truck, giving you the power and control needed to handle heavy round bales.

Powered by the option of a live-hydraulic or electric-over-hydraulic system, the HydraBed eliminates the need for the utilization of a tractor with a front-end loader. This reduces your equipment dependency and saves you valuable time and reduces waste during daily feeding operations.

This arm bed design allows you to work efficiently in a variety of  feeding environments such as uneven terrain in remote pastures. By utilizing the free float arm design of the HydraBed, you reduce ground disturbance and streamline your workflow during winter feeding and high-volume hay handling and unrolling.

the Hydrabed® Difference
Sure Stop™ TECHNOLOGY
Every HydraBed® control system is equipped with SureStop™ technology load control. This feature allows the operator to safely and instantly stop a descending bale at any point and at accelerated operating speeds without damaging the valve, cylinders and hoses.

BALE LOADING SPEEDS
Engine-driven pump provides bale load times as fast as 4 seconds. Electrically driven pump provides load times as fast as 12 seconds. Determined by required hydraulic pressure or truck engine RPMs.

3,000 POUND LIFT CAPACITY
From day one, every HydraBed® has been built with excess lifting capacity to provide easy handling of even the heaviest hay and silage bales.

AUTOMATIC ARM SYNCHRONIZATION
Pioneered by HydraBed® in 1984, this simple, proven re-phasing system provides automatic side-to-side centering of every load.

OPERATOR-FRIENDLY GRIP RANGE
Arms open to 92 inches for unobstructed approach to bales. Automatic arm synchronization combined with a tight, 28 inch closed position generates positive grip on even less than perfect bales.

MECHANICAL FREE FLOAT UNROLLING
Pioneered by Triple C in 1983, the mechanical free float protects the truck and operator from the impact of bale unrolling by automatically compensating for uneven ground and irregular bales. Consistent, mechanical operation at all temperature extremes.

TIME-TESTED ARM DESIGN
Designed to thrive when subjected to the extreme horizontal and vertical forces during load handling and transportation.

MAIN REAR CROSS TUBE
Half-inch wall by 4-inch square, this is the key to the HydraBed’s durability and ruggedness. Over-engineered to withstand the tough situations that occur routinely on every livestock operation.

12 INCH TOTAL MAIN HINGE LENGTH
Provides maximum support for every bale handling cycle. Alloy hinge pins and hinge bushings with 1/2” thick walls provide ruggedness and dependability.

LEVEL-LOK MOUNTING SYSTEM
Every HydraBed® is installed with our unique Level-Lok mounting system with automatic side to side centering and front to back leveling of the bed. Developed in 1984, this heavy duty bracket system provides the installer ample weld area for secure mounting, customized to your make and model of truck. Once installed, the removal of 6 bolts allows simple bed take-off or transfer.

DEPENDABLE FUNCTION MANAGEMENT
The HydraBed® valve system continues to feature simple design, proven load holding and reliable pressure management. Multiple control configurations available.

RECESSED GOOSENECK HITCH
The 30,000 lb. rated 2 5/16” gooseneck ball is located just under the upper surface of the HydraBed® beneath an easily opened, ground-accessible door.

DROP HITCH
Integrated into the 6” main frame, the drop hitch features tubular construction for multi-axis rigidity and a 3/4” thick hitch plate with 2” receiver standard.
