Climbing out to unlatch and heave up a loaded bed gets old fast when you're spreading gravel, mulch or feed all day. This electric dump bed kit replaces the Can-Am Defender's factory gas struts with a powered actuator, so you can raise the bed with a dash switch from the driver's seat and keep the work moving.
Highlights
- Electric actuator rated for up to 880 lb
- 29-3/4" extended length, 11" stroke
- Dash-mounted rocker switch
- Plug-and-play wiring
- Mounts where the stock gas strut goes
- Choose the 6x6 or Pro version, or the version for all other listed models
Work Smarter, Not Harder
With the actuator mounted in the stock strut location, the bed lifts on command and clears fully at 29-3/4" of extension. You can dump a load in a controlled pile, then lower the bed and drive off, without stepping out into the mud or the snow.
Built for Real Loads
An 880 lb rating covers most of what a Defender bed carries day to day. The plug-and-play wiring keeps installation simple and clean.
Two Versions
The Defender 6x6 and Pro use a different setup than the rest of the lineup, so pick "6x6 or Pro" or "All Other Models in Fitment" in the option picker. Both cost the same.
What's in the Box
- Electric dump bed actuator
- Dash-mounted rocker switch
- Plug-and-play wiring harness
- Mounting hardware and instructions
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
For farm, ranch and property owners with a Defender or Defender MAX HD5 through HD10 who dump the bed often. Add a bed rack or sport bar from Can-Am Defender cargo and storage and lighting from Defender lights for work after dark.
