When it comes to finding the ideal storage and styling solution for your dual-cab ute, whether you’re a tradie hauling tools and supplies, or a family of 5 setting off with a load of cargo on board – it’s important to find a solution that best suits your lifestyle.
While a full-height canopy is a great for additional storage away from the weather, others will prefer the sleek styling of a hard lid without compromising on security and the ability to carry an extra roof load. A ute lid helps keep the load low on the vehicle for improved handling and fuel economy.
TAKE YOUR LOAD TO THE NEXT LEVEL
ARB HardLid is the newest addition to the our range of rigid tonneaus. With its rugged and versatile cargo surface, HardLid provides the perfect mounting platform for items that might be thrown on and lashed down as you leave town on a Friday night, or for items that you plan to mount permanently in position.
The HardLid features the same mounting system and hinge mechanism used in our Sportlid, meaning these crucial parts are tried, tested and proven.
ARB’s HardLid can be purchased on its own allowing room for customisation to suit your needs or the premium upgrade can be purchased in our Premium HardLid offering, where features include central locking, interior light and a set of premium rails.
