“In my quest for a way to transport our two full-size Harleys on extended summ
er trips, I found the AmeriDeck system. This type of hydraulic loading system was something I had been researching for some time. I had even began conversations with a local welding shop to fabricate such a system for my pickup – but why reinvent the wheel?”
“With our AmeriDeck, SuperDeck III we can haul our Harleys in our 6.5 foot short bed pickup. Then, we can pull our truck behind our motor home. Now, when we set off for a five week long trip we have our bikes and we have enclosed transportation, too. We love the AmeriDeck system, it has plenty of power to load our bikes and it works beautifully. We have been asked about the system so many times that we now keep brochures handy.”

Satisfied AmeriDeck Customer
The AmeriDeck Hydraulic loading system is the smart solution to increase the versatility and utilization of your pickup. This one-of-a-kind system makes it possible for a full-size pickup to load heavy equipment and cargo from the ground and onto the truck bed with simple push-button operation. Four deck styles are available, including a dump bed variation.
Although this is a brief message, the implications are massive!
In a recent conversation with the manager of the Professional
Towing and Recovery Operators of Illinois we learned that the licensing
requirements of the towing industry do not apply for transporting
things. They have determined that he SuperDeck -III PowerDeck is no
more of a towing device than is an Econoline Van!.
This opens huge opportunities for individuals to make deliveries and haul motorcycles, quads, golf car(t)s and cargo!
Imagine eliminating the costly insurance required of towing companies!

Why I abandoned my toy hauler for the truck deck. Although motorcycle traveling is great fun, weather and distance can leave you arriving at your destination tired and drained. The SuperDeck III, installed on a suitable pickup truck, allows you to travel to your motorcycle destination in comfort. Although motorcycle traveling is great fun, weather and distance can leave you arriving at your destination tired and drained. With the bike on the deck you arrive relaxed and ready to engage in your desired activities.
In comparison to a toy hauler, the SuperDeck III has several advantages. First, and significant, is the cost of a fully contained toy hauler vs the cost of the SuperDeck III and a less expensive camper equivalent to the toy hauler. Unless your bike needs protection from the elements, the cost of the “garage” section in a conventional toy hauler is unnecessary. Towing and maneuvering an 18’ camper is much simpler than dealing with a 30+’ toy hauler.
Secondly, most toy haulers use the bike storage area for a second purpose when the bike is not in
place… this is usually space for the kitchen table or additional bunk space. This space simply isn’t available when the bike(s) are loaded. Not to mention that a certain amount of gas, oil and grime are there in your living quarters in the toy hauler.
In terms of convenience, the toy hauler scores big again! If you are just taking your bike out to a one-day event, you don’t need the entire camper or a trailer. Just park the bike on the SuperDeck II and press the UP button. Head to the event without having to maneuver/unhook or deal with a trailing storage system. There’s plenty of storage under the deck for your duffel, cooler and tools.
How about safety? Other than a hydraulic hitch mounted bike carrier, almost any toy hauler or trailer* is going to have a ramp to deal with. It was one thing to ride my Bultaco trials bike up a 2x6 into the truck bed, but that was 40 years ago with a #190 bike. Any ramp offers opportunity for error, particularly in snow or rain. The SuperDeck III is at ground level where it is simple for one person to push or ride a bike into position against the bulkhead and put down the kick stand while the bike is being strapped down. Pushing a #500 bike up any ramp is usually more than a single individual can safely manage. Just check the videos on YouTube for any number of “motorcycle ramp loading fails.
note: the Razor brand trailer has a drop deck.
The other convenient feature of the SuperDeck III is that it has many alternate uses! From hauling ATV’s, engine blocks, bales of hay or your mom’s sofa, the SuperDeck III puts any load, up to #2,500, into your truck at the touch of a button!
In summary, the Superdeck III covers all the bases. Safety, comfort, convenience and utility at a fraction of the cost of a toy hauler. And you can still have access to your truck hitch to tow your camper or more toys!

Hydraulic Package - Troubleshooting
It doesn't often come up, but if you need service or adjustments on your hydraulic, here are the specs:
Pressing button does not actuate pump. Perhaps a wire at the plug-in connector has pulled loose. Try squeezing the cable back into the connector while pressing the faulty button. The entire pendant can be replaced. While moving in the "unload" direction the controller button was released, the motor shut off but the deck kept moving downward. (the hydraulic cylinder continued to extend). Solution? Valve C1 was replaced and the problem went away.
This has been a pretty flawless system over the years. We will post more resolutions if incurred. Everything is off-the-shelf american made and any hydraulic equipment, trailer or farm equipment location should be able to help remedy issues.

The deck fits in a full-size pickup with either a 6 1/2 or 8-ft. bed. It
includes its own electric-hydraulic system with a 150-amp breaker. Once
installed, a hydraulic arm pushes the deck off and onto the ground.
Once loaded, the arm pulls the deck back onto the truck. A system with
the standard SuperDeck sells for $4,380 plus freight.
You can select from various decks and options, from the 58 by 96-in.,
flat SuperDeck to the Choremaster with solid tapered sides, dual
function dump gate and 40-cu. ft. capacity. Multiple decks can be used with a
single loading system. Just drop the deck on the ground and drive away.
From one of our customers: “I can deliver a large square bale of hay to a farm and drop it off, even stack bales on end. You can haul any load under 2,500 lbs. I know a guy who rents out
Smart Cars. He picks up and delivers them with his AmeriDeck. I use my
Motorcycle Deck with my own motorcycles. I use a ChoreMaster for
garbage. Just drop it in place and pick it up to haul away when it’s
full.
“The longer I have the deck system, the more uses I find for it. I
don’t even like lifting my pressure washer into the truck bed anymore. I
just roll it on a deck, strap it down and raise the bed into place.
Without a bed, the arm makes a handy lift arm. I’ve used it to swap out
motors at a race or to pull fence posts."
