Super Duty Dump Brace® Dump Truck Bed Safety Locks - DB-3.5SD (pairs)
The Dump Stand® is a mechanical support device that clamps directly onto your truck’s frame, holding elevated dump beds securely in place during service work. Its high-grade, chain-free clamping mechanism allows one technician to install a pair in approximately 60 seconds, reducing setup time and limiting how long the raised bed remains unsupported.
Built for Heavy-Duty Dump Body Maintenance
Applications include:
-
Single-axle dump trucks
-
Double-axle dump trucks
-
Mining trucks
-
Dump trailers
-
Flat-tilt trailers
-
Forestry trucks
-
Chipper trucks
-
Rollback trucks
Chain-Free Design Built for Faster Setup
Patent-pending chain-free clamp design. High-grade bolts engage the clamping mechanism directly on the truck frame, reducing the need to wrestle with chains, hand rigging, or makeshift supports.
Improve Maintenance Efficiency
The defined one-brace-at-a-time process helps crews standardize setup and reduce preparation time before raised-bed maintenance.
Added Protection Beneath Raised Dump Beds
OSHA has identified unintended dump-body movement as a serious maintenance hazard. A properly installed mechanical support provides a physical backup before technicians perform inspection, service, or repair beneath a raised dump bed.

CHAIN-FREE DUMP TRUCK BED SAFETY LOCK
Clamps Directly to the Frame
Hydraulic pressure loss, shifting weight, and unstable props can put technicians at risk beneath a raised dump bed. The Super Duty Dump Brace® DB-3.5SD uses a heavy-duty clamping mechanism to secure directly to the truck frame and provide independent mechanical support.
Frame-specific clamping helps reduce lateral movement compared with unsecured or loosely positioned support methods. Its direct frame connection also provides a more visible and repeatable support point during raised-bed maintenance.
- Clamps directly to the frame, not the dump body
- Rated to support up to 80,000 lbs. per pair
- Chain-free installation with high-grade bolts
- Fits standard frame flanges from 3½ to 5 inches
SAFE SUPPORT IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS
Install the DUMP BRACE® Pair One Brace at a Time
A DUMP BRACE® pair can be installed by one technician, one brace at a time, in approximately 60 seconds.
STEP ONE
Raise bed to desired height, turn off engine.
STEP TWO
Using the handle, set the first DUMP BRACE® safety lock onto the truck frame with the clamping mechanism beneath the flange.
STEP THREE
Slide the first DUMP BRACE® safety lock down the truck frame toward the raised bed frame.
STEP FOUR
Using a ratchet, tighten the two bolts securely to engage the clamping mechanism.
STEP FIVE
Using the handle, set the second DUMP BRACE® safety lock onto the truck frame with the clamping mechanism beneath the flange.
STEP SIX
Slide the second DUMP BRACE® safety lock down the truck frame toward the raised bed frame.
STEP SEVEN
Using a ratchet, tighten the two bolts securely to engage the clamping mechanism.
A Raised Dump Bed Can Become a Crush Hazard Without Warning
Unexpected bed movement often happens during routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs. OSHA found that body props were missing or improperly used in most reviewed incidents, and in some cases, the props themselves failed.

Chain-Free Frame Clamp
Two high-grade bolts engage the clamping mechanism directly on the frame flange, without chains, hand rigging, or loose blocks.
