Dump Brace

HOW IT WORKS

A pair of Dump Braces® can be Installed in LESS THAN 60 SECONDS in 3 simple steps!

  • STEP ONE: Set DUMP BRACE® safety locks onto the truck frame with a clamping mechanism beneath the flange.
  • STEP TWO: Slide DUMP BRACE® safety locks down the truck frame towards the raised bed frame.
  • STEP THREE: Using a ratchet, tighten the two bolts securely to engage the clamping mechanism.

What Is a Dump Brace® and Why It’s Essential for Truck Safety

The Dump Brace® is a mechanical support device that clamps directly onto your truck’s frame, holding elevated dump beds securely in place during service work. This isn’t your typical truck lift brace that relies on hydraulic stability. Instead, it functions as an independent failsafe using precision-engineered truck bed brace brackets that grip structural frame members, creating physical barriers between technicians and potential collapse scenarios.

What makes this system different from conventional dump truck accessories? Three critical factors:

  1. Zero reliance on hydraulic pressure means your truck lift brace stays engaged even if lines rupture or seals fail unexpectedly
  2. Single-person deployment gets beds secured in under a minute without assistance
  3. Frame-specific clamping prevents the lateral shifting you’ll see with older truck frame brace designs

Here’s why shops are switching away from improvised solutions:

  • Traditional props can’t adapt to varying bed angles or account for frame tolerance differences across manufacturers
  • A proper truck bed lift brace distributes load through engineered contact surfaces rather than concentrated pressure points that cause frame damage
  • Modern truck bed braces eliminate guesswork about whether you’ve achieved adequate support 
  • Unlike a tilt safety brace designed for cab applications, dump-specific systems handle the extreme angles and weight distribution unique to raised beds

Our brace for truck bed applications works by sliding along your frame rails until contact is made with the raised body. Two bolts activate the clamping mechanism, and you’ve got structural support that won’t budge. While an emergency vehicle cab brace serves tilting cabs, this system targets the unique demands of dump body maintenance where weight, angle, and vibration create constantly shifting forces.

How Does a Dump Brace Improve Truck Safety?

  • Keeps the dump body locked in a raised position while being serviced.
  • Reduces the chance of hydraulic failure accidents.
  • Provides a backup safety system in addition to hydraulic lifts.
  • Stabilizes the bed during loading, unloading, or repairs.
  • Increases overall safety in fleet and maintenance operations.
