Put functionality into every corner of your pickup
Quick Bed Unload
The Loadhandler uses a heavy-gauge poly fabric rolled onto a steel bar the length of the tailgate to easily unload cargo from the bed. A handle on the end of the roller bar brings forward the fabric and unloads the cargo as it is cranked. Fits full-size pickup beds and trailers. Price: $169.99.

Feed on the Go
Ranchers who drive a flatbed pickup will find the Tarter cube feeder ideal for portable feeding. The 4" motorized auger can be adjusted from the cab with a rope pull. A stand for regular bed mounting is available. Price: 1,200-lb., $1,457; 1,800-lb., $1,731. Contact: Tarter Farm and Ranch; (800) 733-4283; www.tarterfarmandranch.com.

Computer in the Cab

Keep It Separate
ProGrip’s Quick Lock Cargo Bar #900912 uses an adjustable 44" to 72" frame with a hand pump that extends the length 1" to 2" with each pump. This design allows you to extend the bar to the desired length of the pickup bed, then "pump" to the desired tightness for secure hold. The bar is ideal for preventing cargo from sliding around in the back of your truck or trailer. It comes fully assembled and ready to use. The handles can fold up when not in use. Price: $37.99 at many retailers. Contact: ProGrip; www.usaprogrip.com.
