At one time, I never saw a HD belt-drive PTO either, but here it is:

Mine is an older 4-5 GPM PH series unit. Works great to operate the bed. I have a large hydraulic recovery tank, so there is plenty of extra fluid for the large rams on my setup. The bed setup is fairly new, but the 40 year-old hydraulic winch (possible original) is SOOOOO slow. I can't bring myself to replace it because it can pull a house.
