Weather Guard, an industry leader in secure truck and van storage solutions, has launched the Weather Guard Sliding Bed System, a heavy-duty cargo management solution designed to give contractors and fleet crews faster, safer access to tools and equipment at the tailgate.

With 100% slide extension, the system brings tools and materials directly to the tailgate, reducing climbing, awkward reaching, and repeated strain during loading and unloading. The Sliding Bed is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Weather Guard storage and organization solutions, creating a more efficient mobile workspace for contractors and fleet operators.

Built for demanding jobsites, the Weather Guard Sliding Bed streamlines loading, unloading and equipment access for contractors and fleet crews working out of pickup trucks every day. Its full-extension sliding deck creates a true tailgate workspace that allows crews to load, organize and access equipment without climbing into the truck bed.

“The Weather Guard Sliding Bed was built around how contractors and fleet crews actually use their trucks every day,” said Emily Gerkin, senior product manager at Weather Guard. “The system helps crews access heavy tools and materials faster while reducing the repetitive climbing and reaching that adds unnecessary strain over time.”

Built for Heavy Payloads

Constructed from heavy-duty steel and rated for payloads up to 2,000 pounds, the Weather Guard Sliding Bed is designed to handle demanding equipment, harsh transit conditions, and daily jobsite use.

Easy Cargo Access

High-performance steel rollers and a powder-coated finish help deliver long-term durability and corrosion resistance. By bringing cargo directly to the tailgate, the system helps reduce unnecessary climbing and repetitive movement during loading and unloading tasks. Its edge-to-edge flat deck design allows crews to slide, stack, and secure cargo without interference from wheel wells or uneven surfaces.

Multiple Bed Lengths Available

Available in 65-inch and 75-inch models, the Weather Guard Sliding Bed fits full-size domestic pickup trucks and integrates with Weather Guard truck boxes and truck racks. Eight adjustable tie-down points and an integrated C-channel help secure cargo and accommodate larger equipment during transit.
