Sledgehammer Test the CANBed

Chuck asked - How tough is the CANBed?
If I hit it with a hammer what happens?
We said "lets try hitting it with the biggest hammer we have in the shop."
Chuck from Phoenix flew to visit us at the RVHaulers yard, and check out what we had in the yard.
By the way - he did pick one for him and his wife Karen to tow their 48 foot LUXE with.
He saw our new CANBeds being built, and asked the question.

Hilarious! Great idea for a vid. Now place a chunk of 2x4 under one end of the decking and hit beside where it is raised above the ground. But with all the grating on the underside, there is tremendous structural strength with that design. Can you put link(s) to where you did the CanBed complete overview in either the description or pinned comments??

This “Test” satisfied my concerns about strength & safety!

[@rvhaulers]

Hello Jeremy, The whole video just kinda came together. (Hence my cell phone recording and not having a proper video camera ) We hadn't previously thought of whacking it with a sledgehammer until Chuck came to check out RVHaulers! Gregg

I have a 22pounder spilting crawler tracks on Catipillar

[@rvhaulers]

Hey Louis, Why don't you "SWING" on by with your 22lber and give it a try! We love visitors! Gregg

[@pierrenakhila5168]

je travaille sur les plans et les options pour mon prochain RV Hauler et assurement il sera en CanBed merci pour le test de destruction.💪👍 ps; si un jours vous avez une photo d un CanBed all color match... je suis curieux du resultat final

[@rvhaulers]

Merci Pierre pour l'intérêt que vous portez à notre CANBed. J'ai une vidéo où je montre une unité entièrement assortie à la peinture. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpy2d4CQgJpgidE Gregg

[@pierrenakhila5168]

@@rvhaulers merci pour la reponse rapide. Je suppose que la partie superieur se peinture aussi ?

[@rvhaulers]

La surface sablée du pont supérieur ne peut pas être peinte. Je peux le commander spécialement dans différentes couleurs, mais je ne stocke que du noir. Veuillez excuser mon français. Il y a bien longtemps que je ne l'ai appris à l'école ! Gregg

[@StevenAwa]

Gregg how did your 21 foot cam Bed turn out ? Did you make a video yet thanks

[@rvhaulers]

Hey Steven, We have a number of our CANBed (never rust) bed builds underway. There will be videos coming! Ggg

[@thechappie]

Can I buy 4x8 sheets of it? Want it for a different application.

[@rvhaulers]

Sure. Give me a call. Gregg

[@Keithhawkins]

Looks great Gregg. A couple of questions, does this increase the 20k ccc on the truck? And just to confirm it can be painted to match truck colour?

[@rvhaulers]

Hello Keith, Because it weighs a fraction of the weight of a steel bed we are able to take thousands of pounds of additional cargo. Ggg

[@rvhaulers]

Oh, and yes it paint matches extremely well.

[@jeffrentfro9830]

where can i buy it?

[@rvhaulers]

All my contact information is on www.rvhaulers.ca - I can get your bed all setup! Gregg

[@lyleschnitzler9120]

Get away from the truck!!

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Lyle! You are right - we thought about our own safety with glasses and footwear, but we should have thought about FISHER the RVHauler and his safety! Thanks for your continued interest in our RVHaulers, and thanks for sharing a comment. Gregg
