Keeping Your Premium Cover Like New

Unlike standard options on the market, a Superior Load Cover requires zero annual servicing.

While traditional roller shutters rely on temperamental tension springs that inevitably fatigue, lose tension, or violently snap, our patented springless design operates on a smooth, free-rolling wheel system. Furthermore, you won’t suffer from weak plastic corner pieces that crack and fall off over time, nor will you need to constantly drench your cover in silicone spray just to keep a needy electric motor from seizing up.

Because it is not spring-loaded or a cheap slam-lock system, it slides open and closed with effortless, manual precision. To close, simply pull the cover to the stopping position and engage the heavy-duty double lock. Crucially, the cover locks securely into the side channels rather than latching onto your vehicle, giving you the complete flexibility to open or close your tailgate independently without needing to unlock or retract the main cover. With basic, proper care, this premium aluminum cover is built to last for many years

Zero-Service Rail & Wheel Care

Keeping your cover operating like a bank vault is incredibly simple and requires no technical expertise. All you need to do is keep the wheels and guide rails clear of debris during your regular car wash.

After every wash, take a cloth and wipe down the internal drainage channel that the wheels run on to remove any buildup. If you haven’t done this in a while, use a little power paraffin to quickly clean the track. NO OIL or any lubricants please, as these stick to the wheels and actively collect sand and dust.

  • The Quick Flush: Open your tailgate and use a high-pressure hose to flush out the rails on both sides while the cover is closed, then repeat with the cover open. Allow the load bin to stand open to air dry completely before closing.

  • Self-Cleaning Brush Pile Barriers: If you look closely, you will see a high-density brush pile running along the top of the wheel rail which naturally catches 99% of debris and keeps the wheels clean. Under high pressure, water will blast through this brush pile into the roller box, instantly self-cleaning the bristles. Once the brushes dry, they perfectly revert to their original state as a highly effective waterproofing and dust barrier.

  • Desert & Heavy Sand Care: If you have been tackling the desert or extreme sand dunes, simply wash the sand out of the track between the wheels from the inside of the load bin. It is also good practice to open the low-profile roller box canister to rinse any collected sand out of the internal snail track and high-flow drainage pipes. If you are stuck at a campsite without access to water, high-pressure compressed air or a quick sweep with a hand brush works perfectly.

Premium Surface Protection & Finish

We finish the cover in a proprietary, custom-formulated powder coating that is twice as strong (2x scratch and UV resistance) as normal architectural aluminum powder coating. To maintain its showroom look, treat your Superior Load Cover with the same respect as the hood of your bakkie:

  • Washing: Always clean the surface with mild soap and water. Never use strong industrial chemicals or harsh cleaners, and do not allow petrol to come into contact with the finish.

  • Dust Realities: Do not dry-wipe heavy dust or mud off the cover with a cloth, as dragging abrasive grit across any premium finish can cause fine scratching or hazing. Always flush the dust off with water first.

  • Extra Element Shielding: For ultimate peace of mind and an extra layer of protection against the elements, an automotive (non-abrasive) wax or premium liquid silicone can be applied directly to the top of the cover.

Off-Roading & Extreme Corrugation Peace of Mind

The Superior Load Cover is engineered with industrial-grade Nyloc self-locking nuts to mechanically resist extreme off-road corrugation. While standard covers on the market require constant tightening due to vibrations, our vibration-proof hardware is designed to keep the internal clamps securely locked under tough conditions.

If you are an extreme overlander frequently tackling severe, corrugated washboard roads for days on end, it is always good practice to do a quick visual check of your vehicle’s accessories post-trip:

  • Quick Post-Trip Check: Take a few minutes after an intense off-road expedition to ensure all internal holding clamps remain perfectly tensioned.

  • Pro-Tip for Continuous Corrugation: If you live permanently on harsh dirt roads or are planning an extended continental overlanding trek, you can apply a drop of threadlocker (Loctite) to the nuts and bolts for a completely permanent, set-and-forget setup.

How to Clean your Roller Box

Designed with an ultra-low-profile infinity edge that maximizes bin height clearance, maintenance on your cover is incredibly simple and tool-friendly. The streamlined canister cover can be effortlessly opened and cleared of any deep debris in under 10 minutes by anyone, requiring zero technical expertise.

While our integrated brush pile catches 99% of debris, it is a good idea to clean out your roller box from time to time just to clear out any random leaves or fine dust that might be trapped, ensuring your high-flow drainage pipes stay completely clear.

To clean out the roller box, follow these quick steps:

  1. Loosen the Screws: Use an Allen key or 8mm spanner to loosen the 4 cap screws on the cover plate.

  2. Remove the Plate: Simply slide the plate to the left until the right side is free, then lift it out.

  3. Clear Debris: Wipe or flush out any trapped leaves or dust.

  4. Re-secure: Slide the plate back into position and tighten the 4 screws.
