Truck Bed Covers & Ute Tonneau Covers
Hard and soft cover options to transport your load securely from A to B and everywhere in between.
What are Tonneau Covers?
Tonneau covers, pronounced "ton-no" are protective lids that shield the bed of pickup trucks and utes (they are also commonly known as ‘ute tray covers’). Designed to cover and secure the cargo area, these covers come in various styles and types, each with their unique advantages. Whether you're a truck enthusiast or new owner of a new pickup truck , Tonneau covers are an essential accessory that enhances the overall functionality and aesthetics of your vehicle.
What are the benefits of a Tonneau Cover?
- Enhanced Security: Tonneau covers provide an added layer of security for your belongings and cargo. By concealing the contents of your truck bed, they discourage theft and protect your valuables.. Whether you're transporting tools, equipment, or personal items, a Tonneau cover ensures peace of mind when on the road.
- Improved Aerodynamics: One often overlooked benefit of Tonneau covers is their positive impact on aerodynamics. By reducing air drag, these covers contribute to fuel efficiency, ultimately saving you money at the pump. The sleek design also minimises wind resistance, making your pickup truck more fuel-efficient on the road.
- Weather Protection: Soft Tonneau covers and hard Tonneau covers alike offer protection against the elements. From rain to the harsh Australian sunlight, these covers keep your cargo safe from weather-related damage. This weather resistance is crucial for preserving the integrity of both your truck bed and its contents.
Soft Tonneau Covers
Soft Tonneau covers are known for their versatility and easy installation (believe it or not many will clip right on over your truck bed!). Constructed from durable materials like weather-resistant vinyl, they provide a snug fit and can be conveniently rolled up or folded for quick access to the truck bed.
These covers are perfect for those seeking a balance between affordability and functionality. Soft covers are a breeze to install and are easy to keep clean, making them a great minimum-investment option
Hard Tonneau Covers
Delivering on toughness and strength, a hard tonneau cover provides optimal security and durability. Typically made from materials like fibreglass or aluminium, these covers provide a solid, secure barrier against potential damage or theft.
One of the most common types of hard tonneau covers is the tri-fold tonneau cover, which gives you easy access to your gear, and it can be locked down quickly to keep your load in place while driving on the highway or off the beaten track. The user-friendly tri-fold design eliminates the need to stretch a tarp across your load, plus the sleek finish will minimise wind resistance for a smoother ride.
