OSKALOOSA, IA - It is no small feat to engineer an efficient bed lift for a massive medium duty truck chassis. Kelderman Suspension Systems, an established manufacturer of quality air ride suspensions for light and medium duty trucks, has engineered a hydraulic bed lift with a 5,000 lb. load capacity for popular Ford 650/750, International CXT and Freightliner trucks. This rugged commercial duty hydraulic lift operates seamlessly by remote control. With one push of the button, the lift separates the bed from the cab and lowers it to a stop almost flush to the ground, all in less than one minute. Users simply roll on equipment, tie it down and let the Kelderman Bed Lift do all the work, protecting against work related injury and shortening load times.
The complete system can be shipped nationwide and retails for $9,999. Call Kelderman Manufacturing toll free at (800) 334-6150 for more information Monday through Friday (7-4 CST). Or go to www.keldermanairride.com/medium-duty.
