ABSTRACT:
A flat bed is designed for demountable attachment to the fifth wheel assembly of a conventional tractor, without modification of the tractor. The flat bed includes framing members and internal support members sandwiched between a top and bottom plate which are all welded together. A centrally disposed kingpin lockingly engages the fifth wheel assembly of the tractor while chains connecting the bed frame to the chassis of the tractor stabilize the bed against the pivoting and rocking motion. Sockets disposed along the sides of the frame can receive side rail fences or tie down straps to secure the load on the bed.
