Bale Handling Innovations For Trucks
 ✖  |
For bale-handling efficiency and versatility, the DewEze 800/900 Series Bale Beds stand out for their thoughtful engineering and real-world application. Manufactured in Harper, Kan., these bale beds are the result of continuous innovation, meeting the evolving needs of North American farmers and ranchers.
Standout features of the 800/900 Series include extendable lifting arms and combination spikes. The arms, which house hydraulic cylinders, telescope outward to add height, enabling operators to lift and position bales into high bale rings or feeders. This upgrade reduces reliance on tractors, saving time and fuel.
“Our newly designed spikes have quickly gained popularity,” says DewEze Product Manager Cameron Coady. “They offer the flexibility to retrieve bales from tight spaces or closely packed rows, which is a common challenge, especially during harsh winters.”
The spikes are conveniently stowed beneath the bed when not in use. Efficiency remains a central theme, as the arms can handle two bales simultaneously. Simply set one bale on the bed, then use the arms to grasp and secure a second, streamlining the process.
A rear toolbox option, located behind the rear axle, provides added flexibility and on-the-go storage. Rub rails, made from sturdy metal strapping, provide secure tie-down points for various loads, ensuring safe transport.
“Additionally, compatibility is never an issue,” Coady says. “The beds are designed to fit Ford, Chevrolet, GMC or Ram 3/4-ton trucks and larger, whether short or long box, or cab-and-chassis configurations. Buyers can choose between an engine-driven PTO and an electric-over-hydraulic system to power the hydraulics.”
The 800 Series is tailored for single-wheel trucks, while the 900 Series is designed for dual-wheel models.
Harper Industries sells the bale beds through a dealer network across North America, with prices starting at $1,600 for the base model. Coady encourages interested customers to use the website’s Dealer Finder page to find nearby locations.
