“From its proprietary aluminum board decking to its no-maintenance materials, the Rival Raider isn’t just a flat deck, it’s a forever deck.”
Raider
Aluminum-Board Flat Deck with Zero Maintenance, Lightweight Strength, and Long-Term Value.
The Rival Raider Flat Deck redefines the standard for aluminum work platforms. Built with 5052-H32 mill-plate framing and 6061-T6 extrusions, the Raider’s signature Rival Aluminum Board Decking integrates directly into the structure for unmatched rigidity, grip, and corrosion resistance. This design eliminates the need for dedicated cross-members, creating a lighter, stronger, and lower-cost solution (compared to Wood) that never needs refinishing. Manufactured for contractors, fleets, and utility operators who demand lifetime durability with zero maintenance, the Raider delivers pure aluminum performance that works as hard as you do.
And that’s not all: With its full-functionality at a low-entry cost point; the Raider is a standout candidate for a pick-up bed replacement. Whether its for an old truck, a truck that has been in an accident, or to turn that stock truck into a farm runaround vehicle – the Raider is purpose-built and mission-ready for any scenario.

The Deck That Never Quits.
The (not so) secret strength of the Raider lies in its fully integrated aluminum decking system where the boards themselves are structural. Each extruded panel locks into the deck frame, forming a lightweight yet incredibly rigid surface that resists corrosion, flex, and fatigue. Unlike wood, aluminum decking never swells, rots, or splinters; it remains dimensionally stable year-round and requires zero maintenance. The Raider is also lighter than its wood equivalent Corsair (especially when compared to water-soaked lumber), and cheaper to build than wood-deck alternatives thanks to its simplified sub-structure. For most users, that means less weight, lower cost, and a stronger deck that stays looking new for years.
Designed for daily abuse and long-term dependability, the Raider’s ridged surface provides excellent traction in dry conditions and a professional aesthetic for modern fleets. Available for both pickup replacements and cab-chassis platforms, every Raider is fabricated from marine-grade aluminum for lasting corrosion resistance. Optional add-ons: under-deck boxes, stake-in sides, and powder-coat finishes allow each deck to be configured for its trade. For those who want the lightest, toughest, and most economical flat deck on the market, the Raider stands unrivaled.
