20 tempered aluminum support beams embedded
every 4 3/4", which will hold 200 lbs. and can easily
support heavy snow loads. The cover is strong enough
to stand on (not recommended).
| Strength - The cover will withstand a concentrated load of about 120 pounds. A light snow load, is tolerated.
|
Sealed Ball-bearing Rollers - Sealed ball-bearing rollers
mounted onto each end of the aluminum support beams
allow the cover to retract or close easily without the use
of springs or any kind of mechanism. Anti-bind ball-bearings mounted horizontally prevent the cover from binding as it is opened or closed.
| Wear Strip - Top and bottom rail wear strips.
|
Spiral Track Storage System - Unique spiral track system
that prevents the cover from touching itself as it retracts,
which eliminates wear-and-tear on the cover. No moving
parts to jam, freeze or fail.
| Spring Loaded Drum - Cover rolls up on top of itself on a spring loaded drum similar to a window shade.
|
Lockable In Any Position Along The Rail - Cover can be

Tailgate Area - The RETRAX™ bed cover overlaps the
top of the tailgate utilizing an automotive grade weather
strip seal.
| Tailgate Area - The cover meets up with the inside face of the tailgate. Water runs down the inside face of the tailgate.
|
Weather Protection - The patented RETRAX ™
low-profile design uses a front cover that is flush with the rolling cover; this streamlines the overall appearance and provides a firm, dependable seal to help keep the bed dry.
This design incorporates automotive grade weather strip
to keep water, snow, ice and dust out of the bed.
| Weather Protection - Water is channeled to the rails and canister. The water must try to pass through 2 small drain tubes to exit the bed.
