Reviews
“My hardlid is awesome on the Hilux and does a great job when needed and provides great security. It looks smart makes your Ute tidy on the road as well. You will definitely get other Ute drivers looking 👀 for sure which convinces them weather to buy or check their website. I had a gym guy who saw my load lid one day and purchased his one the following week from Ute master so it definitely gets a lot of Ute drivers thinking and it certainly advertises for Ute Master too that their products stand out above the rest. I would highly recommend them to any Ute driver out there, you won’t be disappointed. ☺️👍🤙”

Load-Lid Frequently Asked Questions
-
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. -
This product is only compatible with the under rail liner, not compatible with over rail liner. 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. -
The Load-Lid™ sits above the edge of the Tub, so the height of the fridges you can fit is determined by the Tub depth. It is very common for customers to put fridges underneath the Load-Lid.
-
With the Load-Lid™ there are no intrusions below the top edge of your tub. The unique raised edge profile also adds a staunch appearance, improves rigidity and reduces water pooling. The easiest way to work out what will fit under the Load-Lid (for example a fridge) is to measure from the bottom of the tub to the top edge of the tub.
-
A hard lid is a solid, aluminium lockable cover that fits over the tub of your ute - protecting your gear from theft, weather, and damage. Unlike soft tonneaus or canvas covers, a hard lid is built to take a load on top, giving you more usable carrying capacity than a roller shutter. Utemaster hard lids are engineered with “strong bones” to handle the real-world punishment tradies and adventurers throw at them. Whether you're hauling tools or heading off the beaten track, a hard lid lets you carry more and keeps your gear safe, dry, and ready to go.
