Electric Tilt Bed Lifts for Classic Trucks

They are 225 lb 12V linear actuators with a 12" to 20" stroke, and the pair is capable of lifting up to 450 lbs at 0.4" per second. Whether that covers your build depends on what the bed is made of, how it is braced and where the actuators mount, so work it out on our gas spring calculator first - put in the length and weight of the panel, how far you want it to open and where the mounts land, and it checks those numbers against this pair before you buy.

Two 12-20" 12V actuators, four steel mounting brackets and four mounting pins. They are sold in pairs.

A switch or a remote to operate them, and the wiring, relay and fuse to feed them. None of that is in the kit. The motors have a built-in limit switch, run below 50 dB and are IP54 rated.

Yes. The lifts raise the bed, the hinges are what it pivots on, and they are sold separately - see our tilt bed scissor hinges.
