The Ram 5500 chassis cab is a popular platform for crane truck builds, and Bedrock builds a clean, well-finished crane-ready service body to go on top of it. If you need a crane truck for utility, pipeline, or general construction work, a Bedrock crane body on a Ram 5500 gives you a durable base with room to mount a truck-mounted crane.

Why Bedrock Fits the Ram 5500

The Ram 5500 offers a high GVWR and a factory frame designed for chassis-mounted equipment, which is exactly what a crane body needs underneath it. Bedrock’s body construction includes a reinforced subframe designed to spread crane mounting loads evenly across the chassis rails, rather than concentrating stress at a single point — which extends the life of both the body and the truck’s frame.

Bedrock Crane Body Features

  • Reinforced steel subframe — engineered to accept a truck-mounted crane like a Tiger Crane
  • Full-height storage compartments for rigging, chains, slings, and tools
  • Clean, smooth-sided finish consistent with Bedrock’s Diamond and Granite series build quality
  • Correct CA fitment for Ram 5500 chassis cab configurations

Pricing and Fitment

A Bedrock crane body for a Ram 5500 is priced separately from the crane itself — you’re pricing the body and compartment configuration, then adding a Tiger Crane on top depending on your lift capacity needs. See our crane bodies for sale page for full build pricing examples. We confirm your Ram 5500’s exact CA measurement before ordering so the body and crane pad location line up correctly.
