What Makes a Good Picker Deck Setup?

Service Trucks | May 21, 2026

A picker deck is more than just a crane mounted on a truck.

The right setup can completely change how a crew works in the field — better organization, faster access to tools, stronger towing capability, and a deck built to handle real abuse day after day.

That’s exactly what our Arrow Picker Deck was built for.

Built to Tow. Built to Work.

A good picker deck starts with towing capability.

Our Arrow Picker Deck is designed to handle the demands of operators hauling heavy trailers, equipment, and jobsite tools every day.

Features include:

  • Flip-over DSP 5th wheel hitch
  • Turnover 2 5/16″ gooseneck ball
  • Built-in 2″ receiver hitch
  • Heavy-duty rear structure

The flip-over design also creates a smooth working deck surface when the hitch is not in use — giving operators more usable space without sacrificing towing capability.

Storage Makes the Difference

One of the biggest things that separates a good picker deck from a great one is organization.

Our Arrow Picker Deck features:

  • (2) 24″ x 24″ x 60″ supersize storage cabinets
  • 6-drawer package
  • Adjustable shelving
  • Rear underbody toolboxes
  • Shovel holders
  • J-hooks
  • Chain hangers
  • Pipe rack storage
  • Built-in vise mounts

Everything has a place. Tools stay organized. Crews work faster.

Less time searching for equipment means more time getting work done.

Designed Around Real Operators

The best picker deck setups are built around how crews actually work in the field.

That’s why our decks include:

  • Fold-down side rails
  • Slide-in rear tailgate
  • Grip access steps
  • Covered LED worklights
  • Outrigger pad holders
  • Spare tire carrier
  • Boomer and chain storage

The fold-down sides allow oversized pallets and equipment to be loaded directly onto the deck surface, giving operators more flexibility on the job.

Crane Packages That Get the Job Done

Our Arrow Picker Decks are commonly paired with Fassi knuckle boom cranes including:

  • Fassi F65
  • Fassi F85
  • Fassi F95
  • Fassi F105B

These setups provide serious lifting capability while still maintaining smooth operation and excellent reach.

Wireless remote controls, smooth hydraulic functions, and strong lifting performance make these cranes ideal for service, construction, oilfield, and heavy equipment applications.

Built to Handle the Long Days

Work trucks take abuse. A good picker deck needs to be built for it.

That’s why our Arrow Picker Deck features:

  • Heavy-duty construction
  • Premium automotive-grade powdercoat finish
  • Weather-protected lighting
  • Lockable storage
  • Practical layouts designed for everyday use

Simple. Functional. Built to work.
