Rollback Trucks for Sale

Watch this or read below to operate your Ledwell Rollback correctly to extend the life of the bed.

To get started, walk around the entire truck to inspect the following: Hydraulic & Air Hoses, Winch & cable system, Lights, Flooring, and Wheels & Tires. Make sure the truck is on level ground.

Position truck far enough in front of the payload to roll bed back.

Engage PTO inside the cab.

Dump the rollback suspension. Chock the wheels.

If using Ledwell’s wireless remote to operate:

Push Stabilizer Down to lower stabilizer until it rests firmly on the ground.

Push Rollback Off to slide the bed towards the rear of the truck until the arrow indicator decal is behind mud flaps.

Push Bed Lift Up to adjust the angle of the bed.

Load at the lowest possible angle for safety.

Alternate sliding and adjusting angle of bed until firmly on the ground Load Equipment and remember to set the parking brake.

Secure equipment to the rollback with preferred tie-downs.

Be sure each piece is tied down at four points to secure properly.

To unload, reverse the process.

Our standard Rollback lengths are 28′ or 30′. We do offer custom lengths as an option. Our Sales Team would be happy to discuss the best fit for your application.

A 28’ Rollback bed is designed for a 30,000 lb. load evenly distributed. Care must be taken with hard tired equipment as this causes a high point load on the bed between the cross members. Always load in center of the bed over the bed rails for maximum carrying safety.

Your bed moves and is supported on nylatron bearing pads located on the main bed rails both inside and outside the flanges.

These require a liberal greasing of both the flanges, center web of the beam, and top pads of the truck frame rail with NLGI G#2 specification waterproof grease monthly. A small paint roller works well for this.

When the truck receives PM, that is a good time to grease all points.

Your truck has a 17GPM Hydraulic pump set to produce 2100 PSI at the relief. Slow operating and stalling are signs your pump may be getting weak.

A weak pump will not produce enough flow or pressure because it is bypassing internally, which will make the oil heat up more than usual.

Staling could also mean overloading if you hear the pressure relief bypassing.

This video will teach you how to correctly operate a hydraulic winch to load or unload equipment on any manufactured Ledwell truck body or trailer, or follow the steps below.

Before beginning the procedure, make sure there are no other transmitters in the vicinity being operated, as this can cause issues with the dedication process.

Note that these receivers have the capability of storing two (2) unique ID codes, allowing the use of two (2) different transmitters.

1. Power up the receiver.

2. Locate the green ‘SETUP’ button on the bottom of the receiver as shown in the image to the right.

3. Press the ‘SETUP’ button 5 times quickly. The blue ‘POWER/ACTIVITY’ light will blink 5 times to confirm the correct entry.

4. Press the ‘SETUP’ button once. The ‘POWER/ACTIVITY’ light will blink once.

5. Press any button on the transmitter that will be used with this receiver for at least two (2) seconds. The ‘POWER/ ACTIVITY’ light on the receiver will blink approximately 6 times, indicating that the code has been learned. (Note that on handhelds with system ON/OFF buttons, the ON button must be used in this step).

6. If a second handheld requires dedication, go to step 7. If not, the dedication process is complete.

7. Press the ‘SETUP’ button 5 times quickly. The blue ‘POWER/ACTIVITY’ light will blink 5 times to confirm the correct entry.

8. Press the ‘SETUP’ button twice. The ‘POWER/ ACTIVITY’ light will blink twice.

9. Press any button on the transmitter that will be used with this receiver for at least two (2) seconds. The ‘POWER/ ACTIVITY’ light on the receiver will blink approximately 6 times, indicating that the code has been learned. The dedication process is now complete

Check your 7-way pigtail from the truck to the trailer for power. When the center pin is blue, you have power. If it is not, unplug the 7-way from the back of the truck and check the fixed plug on the truck for power. If there is no power, check for a blown fuse.

There are two possibilities. Either your battery needs charged or you need a new battery. Try charging it. If there is no change, contact Ledwell.

Your air solenoids may be malfunctioning. Each solenoid has a button at its center. Use those to manually operate the air solenoids and ensure their responsiveness.
DO NOT ENGAGE THE PTO WHILE PERFORMING THIS TEST. AIR ONLY.
If there is still no operation, check the twist lock connector for corrosion on the pins.

When you’re sure the battery is good and the remote has been charged, contact Ledwell. Your hand-held is most likely will need to be replaced.

Yes, we offer replacements for handheld wireless remotes. Contact our Parts Department to order.

Once you receive your new remote, you will need to pair it with the transmitter mounted on your equipment.
