Advancements in Truck Box Security: Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes

 
 

Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes use a locking and latching system for extra protection.

The 2024 WEATHER GUARD Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes feature 1Key Ultralock. WEATHER GUARD states the locking and latching system "combines top security protection with fleet management versatility." The lock-and-latch system guards against theft, and the ultra-versatile key allows users to manage one truck or an entire fleet of truck boxes by easily coding every truck box to the single 1Key. Another new feature is the ability to quickly see at a glance if the truck box is locked or not with the highly visible pop-up red lock. No more squinting at each truck box lock to check if it’s unlocked. If the red push-button is popped up, it’s unlocked.

Additional 2024 Saddle and Lo-Side truck box features include:

• Long-Haul Durability: The new truck boxes provide ARMOR Tuf powder coat for long-lasting performance and to keep the boxes looking good for a lifetime. 
• Superior Weather Resistance: The precision fit weather stripping provides a tight seal to ensure superior weather resistance and protection. 
• Enhanced Attachment Points: The multiple and enhanced attachment points provide a wide clearance for straps.

The new WEATHER GUARD Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes feature a sleek design and are built for a variety of tradesmen, including residential builders and commercial contractors. The 2024 truck boxes include more than 60 unique product models for full, compact and low-profile trucks.

Headache Racks Provide Professional Function and Style 

Headache racks are designed to improve functionality. A built-in accessory channel allows easy mounting of light brackets, attachment points, or cargo stops. 

The new headache racks are available in four unique styles: Half Bar, Hex, Louvered, and Open Frame. End-users can choose a design that best suits their needs while completing the look and functionality of their work truck.

The new WEATHER GUARD headache racks' universal fit makes them easy to install on full-size pickup makes and models. They’re also compatible with a variety of truck boxes, including saddle boxes, low-sides, and gull wings. The new headache racks are also adjustable, allowing roof height or taller settings to transport materials as needed.
