wagon bed
Where loads rest
The wagon bed is the flat, open cargo area of a wagon—the horizontal surface where goods or passengers ride.
It sits atop the wheels and axles, typically with low sides to keep contents from sliding off.
The term persists in truck bed, describing the same feature on modern pickup trucks.
