Eager Beaver Engineers Great Product for Truck Lovers
    ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., April 5 -- Sales are soaring for the
new aluminum retractable truck beds designed and manufactured by Beaver Bed
Systems, Inc.
    To capitalize on this growing trend, the company is launching a spring
promotional campaign for its award winning new product to the increasing
number of truck owners in Metro Detroit.
    "Once truck owners see this product, they definitely want to buy it," said
Jerry Bowers, President of the upstart Beaver Bed Systems.  "We started 12-
months ago at ground zero and now we're selling approximately two bed systems
a day.  It's a great product that we are confident will continue to sell well
once people find out about it."
    The 36-year-old Bowers designed the new retractable system in his tool
and die shop that he's owned and operated for ten years.
    "I came up with the idea for this system after my golf clubs rolled around
to the back of my pickup truck and I got tired of crawling in and out to get
them," he said.  "The retractable bed solved this and many other similar
problems."
    The Beaver Bed Retractable System is a lightweight platform that simply
pulls out and easily pushes back in allowing quick loading and unloading of
cargo for work or play.
    Its patent-pending design holds up to 2,000 pounds when evenly
distributed.  The system is perfect for easy reach of custom tool boxes,
groceries and recreational equipment.  It's great for the growing number of
woman and retirees purchasing pickup trucks.  It's even versatile enough to
use on camping trips and tailgate parties.
    Last November, Beaver Bed Systems was chosen as one of the "Best New
Products of Year" at the prestigious National Specialty Equipment Market
Association Show (SEMA) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
    Beaver Bed will again display its new products on April 9-10 at the
Regional Truck and Auto Accessories Expo at the Baltimore Convention in
Baltimore, Maryland.
    Bowers added that he decided to name the company after the Beaver because
it's an animal known to build things that are well designed and durable.
