Ute Roller Cover

A small canister is next to the cabin, where the electric roller cover curls up inside. The canister is slightly larger in single cab Utes, but its sizing is 165mm x 165mm for the dual-cab.

It quickly rolls down the tray into the canister when you unlock the cover because the curtain is spring-loaded (similar to your garage roll-a-door). Furthermore, it’s good to note that the spring tension can be adjusted depending on your requirements. A knowledge assistant at the AutoCraze warehouse can help you figure out the perfect roller cover tension for you.

Two locking sidebars slide into either side when the key is activated, making it nearly impossible to break open the Ute roller cover. With the top quality flushed mounted lock in the body's centre at the tailgate end, you can be sure that your belongings are always secure.

One great thing about these electric roller covers is that they are water-resistant, as water runs in channels on both sides of the body and exits out four drain tubes provided with the installation kit.

There is also an inspection hatch at the front of the cover, which can be removed to remove any leave or debris that may have made its way into the canister. The retention of the spring can also be done through this hatch.

However, please note the load tray does not allow access by removing the hatch.

History of the Ute Roller Cover

Safety concerns are the primary reason roller covers were born in developing countries. Criminals and thieves started stealing from people's cabs when they stopped at a red light, and in worse cases, they would sometimes try to take the vehicle.

An entrepreneur named Amiel Smith started the production of Ute roller covers because he was a victim of this type of theft. His wife has a property business, and he was carrying some errands for her when someone jumped into the cab and stole his tools. That is when he came up with the idea of roll-top security covers.

Once he had designed the prototype, he thought it would be enough to ward off would-be thieves or criminals, but that was not true. Two men proceeded to steal his equipment by force, breaking the roller cover and jumping on it repeatedly. This led Amiel to head back to the drawing board to recreate the surface to withstand more pressure and weight.

The rest, as they say, is history! With the constant upgrades in technology, we were finally left with electric roller shutters and an entire range of accessories surrounding it.
