Every bakkie owner knows – when you’re out there tackling the real world, your gear has to work as hard as you do.
The last thing you need is a high-maintenance system that gives you grief when you least expect it.
And that’s exactly where the big divide happens between manual roller shutters and electric roller shutters.
Let’s break it down. –
⚡Electric Shutters: Cool Until They’re Not
Electric roller shutters sound great on paper.
Push a button, watch it slide open. Effortless, right?
Well, not quite. Here’s what they don’t tell you:
-
Moisture and Dust Are the Enemy:
Bakkies aren’t made for perfect, dry, city streets only.
Off-road, dust sneaks into electric motors. Moisture corrodes circuits. Before you know it, the magic button stops working. -
Limited Lifespan:
Electronic components have a shelf life. They simply aren’t built for decades of hard work -unlike a solid mechanical system. -
Expensive and Tricky Repairs:
If something breaks, it’s not a quick fix. You’re staring down specialised parts, long wait times, and expensive repairs.
On a 4×4 trail, in a sudden downpour, or parked in a dusty job site – you quickly realise a fancy electric shutter isn’t much good when it won’t open or close properly. And that’s when frustration sets in.
🔧 Manual Shutters: Built to Last, Ready for Anything
