Weight Rating Explained
Weight Rating Explained
Customers interested to purchase our tonneau covers and accessories would often like to leave some personal belongings or cargo on top of them. The weight rating facts below will explain to you the differences between loading cargo onto a cover versus an accessory (such as any rack or crossbar our store offers), this should help you making the right purchase for the desirable setting when you plan your trips or travel schedules with friends and families. At the same time, using the items properly can ensure a longer lasting period of safety as well as a more fulfilling, satisfying experience as you enjoy the latest trend of truck fashion.
Cover rating # lb "distributed"
This means we are not expecting a person or two standing on top of the cover, you are welcome to load some light cargo, such as mattresses, outdoor activity gears, etc.
Rack systems and Crossbars
With these, we will focus on the weight's holding point. On a cover, the full aluminum slat is holding the item, therefore weight must be "distributed" as previously explained. On a rack or a crossbar, take our ladder rack in particular, the four bases serve as the holding point for the item weight. Therefore, after being loaded onto the cover, our rack can take a tent that houses people inside without any problem.
