Product Description
Circle D | Standard Pickup Flatbed | HD Tread Plate Platform, Recessed Gooseneck Hitch, & Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
The Circle D Standard Pickup Flatbed is a versatile, dependable, and fiercely rugged option for truck owners looking to maximize the utility and functionality of their chassis. Manufactured by a veteran-owned company producing heavy-duty architectures out of Hillsboro, KS since 1987, this flatbed is expertly crafted to provide a wide, open cargo space on the back of your pickup. Whether you are hauling pallets, hay, heavy equipment, or building materials, this robust steel platform is the premier choice for Treasure Valley farmers, ranchers, and commercial businesses requiring a reliable hauling solution.
We stock a wide variety of sizes and configurations to fit diverse vehicle applications. Every truck requires specific fitment parameters based on its generation, rear-wheel configuration, and cab-to-axle (CA) measurements. Popular footprints include:
Available Flatbed Sizes & Vehicle Fitment
Circle D cleanly splits their widths and lengths based on single vs. dual rear wheel chassis capacity to ensure perfect wheel-well flare clearance:
7' (84") W x 7' L: Engineered specifically for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) setups replacing factory short beds.
7' (84") W x 8.5' L: Standard 8-foot frame replacements for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) trucks.
8' (96") W x 8.5' L: Wide-deck configuration explicitly designed for Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) standard 1-ton swaps.
8' (96") W x 9.25' L: Extended length models built as a direct fit for commercial 60" Cab-to-Axle (CA) frames.
The Structural Backbone: Built for Lifespan
Circle D sets a heavy standard for legacy durability. To prevent deck sagging ("oil-canning") under heavily palletized or gooseneck loads, this flatbed utilizes heavy-gauge 4" x 2" rectangular tubing crossmembers spaced on ultra-tight 12" centers. This heavy framework is fully supported by 3" structural channel stringers.
Standard Features
- Decking & Headache Rack: Heavy-duty steel tread plate platform and a 3" x 2" rectangular tubing louvered headache rack.
- Gooseneck Ready: Recessed gooseneck hitch plate equipped with a punched hole and a hinged flush lid.
- Cargo Securing: Integrated side stake pockets and steel tie straps.
- Lighting Package: 4 rubber-mounted LED stop/tail/turn lights, 2 rubber-mounted LED backup lights, and a rear 3-light clearance cluster running on a molded wiring harness.
- Finish: Fully primed and painted high-gloss black to resist job site corrosion.
Optional Bed Upgrades
Upgrade and customize your Circle D flatbed to match your specific vocational needs. Popular point-of-sale add-ons include:

- Heavy-duty rear drop hitch assemblies.
- Premium Curt or B&W Gooseneck Hitches.
- 18" x 24" black poly mud flaps for SRW trucks, or wider 24" x 30" poly mud flaps for DRW configurations.
⚠️ Critical Installation Requirements & Vehicle Sensors
Modern trucks feature highly complex safety and powertrain systems that directly impact the cost, requirements, and limitations of a flatbed upfit. We offer full in-house installation services Monday - Friday in our dedicated service bays. Please note the following common installation factors:
- Safety & Sensor Packages: Trucks equipped with factory backup cameras, parking proximity sensors, or cross-traffic Blind Spot Monitoring (BLIS) radars require specialized relocation kits, composite corner housings, or wire harness mapping. Metal flatbed side-skirts can block radar paths, meaning some sensors may need to be disabled or recalibrated.
- Powertrain (Gas vs. Diesel): Diesel platforms feature Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) filler necks that require custom routing plates through the flatbed skirt or deck. High-heat exhaust paths during DPF regeneration cycles also require clear deflection tracking to prevent damage.
- Fuel Tank Configurations: Single mid-ship tanks versus factory dual tanks completely change the layout and positioning of fuel filler neck cutouts.
- Galvanic Corrosion Guards: For 2017+ Ford Super Duty trucks featuring aluminum cabs and frames, specific isolation brackets are required to prevent galvanic corrosion when mating to steel flatbed runners.
