What Extendobed does

Extendobed, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, designs and manufactures heavy-duty vehicle slide-out trays and stationary drawer systems for pickup trucks, SUVs, and service bodies. The company's core technology consists of telescoping drawer and tray mechanisms with extension capabilities ranging from 75% to over 100% (and up to 200% for certain SUV platforms) and load capacities from 350 to 3,000 pounds, using welded steel frames, aluminum drawers, powder-coat finishes, and proprietary QuietRide construction for low-noise operation. The product portfolio includes the HD Slideout, Professional, T-Platform, and Service Body Slideout as core platforms; the Power Drive motorized extension/retraction add-on; and a deep catalog of industry-specific configurations covering law enforcement (SWAT, bomb squad, command centers, K-9 kennels, stationary SUV drawers), fire and rescue (first response, command centers, fire investigation), industrial and commercial services (contractor caddy, pesticide, surveyor), telecom, oil and gas, sportsman, and farrier applications. All products are made to order and manufactured in the USA.

Extendobed operates a direct phone-based sales model with design experts who configure custom units to specific vehicle platforms (Ford Explorer/Interceptor, Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Durango, various pickups). Pricing is quote-based with no public list; orders require representative confirmation before production and are shipped via LTL Freight with payment due upon order. The company also sells a separate line of accessories (ATF Type III day boxes, evidence boxes, dry-erase boards, bottle racks, cone storage racks, backboard/stokes slots) to extend existing installations. The business is primarily one-time hardware sales with no recurring software or service revenue disclosed, and the headcount is in the 101-250 range.

In 2025, Extendobed was acquired by Adrian Steel Company, an industry leader of commercial cargo management solutions, and now operates as a subsidiary within Adrian Steel's family of brands while continuing to manufacture and sell under the Extendobed name. Distribution is increasingly routed through Adrian Steel's commercial cargo management network in addition to direct phone sales. Marketing is conducted via organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), Google Reviews, and a content/blog channel emphasizing industry-specific applications and customer testimonials. The customer base spans federal and municipal agencies (FBI, U.S. Marshals, DHS, police and sheriff departments, fire departments) and SMB contractors across construction, painting, nursery/agriculture delivery, and specialized trades.
