Options to Add on to Your Truck Deck

Hillsboro truck decks accommodate various accessories that expand functionality for towing, lighting, and regulatory compliance. These add-ons customize standard deck configurations to match specific hauling and operational requirements.

B&W Turnover Ball Conversion Kit

The turnover ball conversion transforms the standard recessed ball into a flush-mount system that flips between towing position and stowed position. When not towing, the ball rotates flush with the deck surface, maintaining a smooth, unobstructed hauling area.

This design eliminates the permanent protrusion that interferes with loading equipment or stacking materials on the deck surface. The ball deploys quickly when you need to hook up a trailer.

RVK3050 Fifth Wheel Hitch

The RVK3050 converts the ball hitch mounting to accept a king pin for fifth-wheel trailer towing. This adapter expands towing capability without requiring permanent fifth-wheel installation that consumes deck space.

The conversion proves valuable for operations that occasionally tow fifth-wheel trailers but primarily use the deck for hauling materials and equipment.

Headache Rack Trailer Plug

The plug-in trailer connector mounts near the gooseneck ball hitch on the headache rack, positioning electrical connections where they’re easily accessible during hookup. This location eliminates searching for plugs mounted low on the frame or fumbling with connections in awkward positions.

Folding Wide Load Sign

The foldable over-dimension sign meets transport regulations for loads exceeding standard width limits. The folding design allows compact storage when not needed, preventing the sign from interfering with normal hauling operations or getting damaged during non-oversized loads.

Compliance with width regulations avoids citations and ensures safe operation when transporting equipment or materials that extend beyond deck edges.

Top-Mounted LED Beacon

The amber LED beacon mounts to the headache rack, providing 360-degree visibility for roadside operations or slow-moving transport situations. The flashing amber light alerts approaching traffic to your truck’s presence, which is particularly valuable when parked on roadsides or moving at reduced speeds with heavy loads.

Side-Mounted LED Work Lights

Side-mounted 27-watt LED lights illuminate the deck area for loading, unloading, and securing cargo after dark. Proper lighting improves safety during night operations and enables accurate load placement and tie-down positioning in low-light conditions. The side mounting provides coverage across the deck width without creating glare or shadows that occur with single-point lighting.
