Default Aluminum Pickup Box Cover - Who makes these?

I believe I saw a test of a folding aluminum cover, 3 piece, which is claimed to be strong enough to haul ATV's on top of the cover. I can't find any info on this unit. Does anyone have any info?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a good bedcover, let me know. My Access cover velcro keeps failing and I'm tired of the soft cover because looking for more security. I do need a cover that is easy to remove and I don't care for the roll-up covers (at least not till I exhaust all other possibilities.

Ultimately, I would like a camper shell, but the thought of removing it to haul an ATV or dirt bike doesn't thrill me.

Thanks. The cover I saw had 3 sections, but was claiming the ability to haul 2 ATVs.

I just ordered a cover from "www.peragon.com" for my truck. It will not hold any ATV's on it, but it is lockable and/or easily removed to carry ATVin bed.

I know exactly what you are talking about[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Saw a broshure on it last week at a local truck dealer. I'll try and see if I can get a website from them. Right now, I don't remember the name of who made it either. It was pretty sweet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Uncle, I like that paragon folding cover[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking about getting a 5th wheel. Which means I need to get rid of my camper shell. Other sliding covers take up about 8-10 inches of bed room[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I see this one folds up flat against the bed wall[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Rescue - Thanks. That might be the same company but I don't recall for sure. I know the cover I saw was a flip fold type cover, 3 section with each section the same size and the sections were connected by piano type hinges with a rubber seal between sections. The edges were square rather than tapered and underneath was a 1" tubular aluminum frame.

Diamondbak may be the company and this may be an improved version.

The other cover mentioned by Uncle is interesting too. Uncle, let us know how it works.

MrSummit, your very welcome[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I like that Paragon too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Don't think they would support 2 quads though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
