Mr. Reality Check may be correct that an aluminum flatbed would support a 6,000 lb. TC, but since the fellows who build 'em told me that it would not support that TC, I still think that before you have an aluminum flatbed built for a Host Mammoth TC, you probably should check with the bed manufacturer first.....
I'm going to stick with my first comments. There is a fair chance I guess that their flatbed might not be stout enough to support a TC, but the blanket statement that Aluminum can't is suspect to anyone that hauls and/or fabricates for a living. I happen to do both.
Perhaps it was a salesman that was speaking out the wrong end? who knows...but it doesn't pass the smell test.
And to clarify, I for sure was not giving you a hard time. Just trying to add some reality to a statement that was restated.
Cheers..
