When you’re hauling hay across South Texas, you need a truck bed that won’t let you down — and Bedrock hay beds deliver exactly that. Made right here in Houston, TX, Bedrock flatbeds are a local favorite for ranchers, hay farmers, and livestock operators throughout the Gulf Coast region. Star Truck Equipment carries Bedrock hay bed configurations at our Wharton, TX location — call (979) 532-1486 to get yours.

Why Bedrock for Hay Hauling?

Bedrock Truck Beds are manufactured in Houston, TX with some of the heaviest-gauge steel in the industry. Ranchers and hay operators specifically choose Bedrock because:

  • Houston-made quality — Bedrock builds their beds in Texas, for Texas conditions. Hot summers, caliche roads, heavy loads — Bedrock is designed for exactly this environment.
  • Heavy steel gauge — Bedrock’s Granite series uses 10-gauge steel floors and heavy-wall tube construction. When you’re loading round bales with a tractor, you need a floor that won’t flex and crack over time.
  • Low floor design — Bedrock’s flatbed designs keep the floor as low as possible relative to the truck frame, which matters when you’re loading hay from the ground or out of a field.
  • Full-length stake pockets — Stake pockets spaced for standard pipe boards or hay racks are included on all Bedrock flatbed configurations.
  • Powder coat finish — Bedrock’s tough powder coat resists the constant wear of hay handling, roping, and equipment loading.

Bedrock Flatbed Models for Hay Use

Bedrock’s product lineup gives hay operators several configurations to choose from:

  • Bedrock Granite Series Flatbed — The flagship Bedrock model. Available in 7′, 8′, and 9′ lengths, widths of 84″ to 96″. The Granite’s heavy-gauge construction and clean design make it ideal for hay hauling on Ford, Ram, or Chevy 1-ton trucks. SRW and DRW versions available.
  • Bedrock Granite 9G — The extra-heavy 9-gauge floor model for demanding hauling applications. If you’re loading 5’x6′ round bales regularly, the 9G gives you extra confidence in long-term floor durability.
  • Bedrock Hay Bed Configuration — Bedrock flatbeds can be ordered with pre-drilled stake pockets at specific intervals for round bale nets and standard pipe sideboards. Ask us about configuring a Bedrock specifically for your bale size and hauling style.
  • Bedrock Platform Bed — For medium-duty trucks (F-450, F-550, Ram 4500/5500), Bedrock offers platform configurations with higher payload ratings for larger hay loads.

Bedrock Hay Bed Fitment

Bedrock builds their flatbeds to fit all major light-duty and medium-duty truck platforms:

  • Ford F-250 SRW / F-350 SRW — 84″ wide, 7’–8′ long (60″–84″ CA)
  • Ford F-350 DRW / F-450 DRW — 90″–96″ wide, 8’–9′ long (60″–97″ CA)

Bedrock vs. CM vs. Norstar for Hay Hauling

All three are great hay bed options — here’s the quick comparison for Texas ranchers:

  • Bedrock — Heaviest gauge steel; Houston-made; slightly premium pricing but outstanding durability
  • CM — Nationally recognized brand; comparable quality; slightly more model variety including dedicated bale beds. See our CM hay beds page.
  • Norstar — Value-focused; solid for lighter-duty hay use where you want to save on cost

Bedrock Hay Bed Pricing

Bedrock flatbeds typically run $3,000–$4,800 for standard hay bed configurations on a 1-ton truck, with 9G and platform models priced higher. Bedrock is positioned as a premium domestic brand, and the pricing reflects the heavier steel and Houston craftsmanship.
