Dump Inserts
Dump inserts are the way to go for landscapers that use pickup trucks. Dump inserts are a simple solution. They are basically self contained systems that slide in and bolt inside your pickup bed. You simply hook a feed from your battery to the pump unit. Up/Down controller is usually tethered to a 9 to 20 foot rubber cord that can be used in the cab or out. Depending on the manufacturer, a bed kit may be power up/gravity down or power up and power down. The ability to power down a dump bed can be helpful if you have a lot of weight sitting on the end of the bed that you're not ready to dump off. Most of the better quality dump inserts use heavy gauge steel for the dump bed and heavy steel framing. Today dump inserts are made in powder coated steel, aluminum and even stainless steel. You can easily bolt on a cab protector, tarp kit offered from the manufacturer, or make your own add on sides to haul larger amounts of mulch or leaves. Almost all dump inserts include stake pockets to extend the height of your bed sides. Most manufacturers use a 45 or 47 degree bed dump angle. The taller 47 degree angle helps out, especially on un-level driveways where the ground to bed dump angle is less.
