How does the Load-Lid work with my Factory Sports Bars?
The Sports Bars are mounted to a faceplate supplied as part of the Load-Lid at the front of the wellside, this means you can open the lid while your sports bars remain in place. Mounting them in this way maximises load capacity and water resistance.
NZ Design Registration 423973
Water Displacement
When the Load-Lid is opened water runs off the back of your lid and onto the ground - not into your tray.
This will protect the tools and equipment you have in your wellside.
Full-Length Rain Channel
This is an innovative feature we developed to ensure your gear stays dry even when hitting the Sports Bar Lid at high speeds.
The channels re-direct the water hitting the front of the Load-Lid along the sides and off the back - Keeping your gear dry.
NZ Design Registration 423973
Raised Profile
Running out of space in your wellside? With the Load-Lid there are no intrusions below the top edge of your wellside. The unique raised edge profile also adds a staunch appearance, improves rigidity and reduces water pooling.
Very Easy to Remove, and Refit!
The Load-Lid can easily be removed by undoing the x4 wing bolts holding it in place. This can be done in a matter of minutes and all you'll need is a mate to help lift it off.
This gives you the space you'll need to carry objects such as a fridge, washing machine or quad bike in your wellside.
Please note, installation instructions may differ slightly depending on vehicle model and Load-Lid type.
Load-Lid Strap
Tucked away under your Load-Lid and is designed to make it easier to reach and pull down the lid. Even if you are tall, this can be particularly useful if your ute is parked on a high angle.
