Fitting instructions shown are for under rail liner.
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 quad bike in your wellside.
All T-Custom Load-Lids come with a film protector kit which is designed to protect the top edge of your wellside.
A standard Load-Lid™ weighs approximately 50-70kg.
The Load-Lid™ is supplied with gas stays which are at the optimum pressure for everyday use and are designed to help you open and close the lid.
However, they won't hold the lid open with a load on top. This is because it would require up to 200kg's of upwards pressure to open the lid with a load on it meaning that the operator would need to pull down with 200kg's of force to close the lid again which is not physically possible.
If you are carrying a Roof Top Tent and require access to the Tub, we recommend removing the locking plate on the Load-Lid™ handle so you can access the Tub through the tailgate (see below).
The Load-Lid™ comes standard with a locking plate under the handle which serves as an extra security measure. If required, you can remove it which will allow you to open the tailgate while the Load-Lid™ is closed. Depending on your lid model you may need to open the lid slightly to get the tailgate open.
If your Ute doesn't have a central locking tailgate we recommend that you install this to provide security without the plate.
The Utemaster Load-Lid™ has a dynamic load rating of 200kg, which means you can carry 200kg of gear when driving. The load rating requirement when driving is far greater than when the vehicle is parked.
When the vehicle is parked, the Load-Lid™ will support the weight of 2 people inside a Roof Top Tent.
Yes, the Load-Lid™ comes with a set of keys which allow you to lock the lid manually.
The Standard and Sports Bar Load-Lids are very easy to install and are be done without needing to drill into the tub. We recommend you check out the instructions listed further up this page so you can see how it works for your model.
If you are not confident in doing this yourself we can arrange fitting through one of our resellers.
If it is a spray-on liner you'll have no issues fitting the Load-Lid. If you have a plastic liner that goes over the top of the Tub you may need to cut it down so the lid sits correctly and does not leak.
You can put a load directly onto the aluminium treadplate surface.
Aluminium is very hard wearing and the Load-Lid™ comes standard coated in a teflon-based matte black powdercoat.
Some companies claim their roller covers or plastic lids have a load rating, but be aware that just because someone can stand on it while the vehicle is parked doesn’t mean it can carry a load.
If you can't fit your load on top, the Load-Lid™ can easily be removed by undoing the 4x wing bolts which hold it in place.
It can be done in a matter of minutes and all you'll need is a mate or two to help lift it off.
This gives you the space you'll need to carry objects such as a dirt bike in your tub. Please note removal process varies from model to model, however it is still super easy.
