Retractable
Tonneau Covers
Ken Bishop
Retractable tonneau covers are a highly sought after tonneau cover on the market today. The price range on these
tonneau covers are among the highest for tonneau covers but with good reason.
They are usually manufactured with aluminum panels. Some are painted with a very durable powder coat finish. This
is a very tough paint system which holds up to protect the tonneau from the elements. Others have a powder coated frame and hardware but the
aluminum slats or panels are laminated with weather proof padded polymer to give the cover a leather look.
All these retractable tonneau covers glide along rails which are usually clamped along the top of the truck box
rails. The cover rolls up into a canister which is located behind the cab of the pickup truck. The cover usually has spring tension on it to help
with opening and closing the tonneau.
They are constructed to withstand a snow-load and water is directed into the side-rails and then to the canister
and out of your truck box through drain hoses. They pretty much have the same basic design.
These retractable tonneau covers really look sharp on the back of a pickup truck and save you fuel at the pumps.
They are pretty lightweight and allow the wind to pass over them rather than hitting against the tailgate causing a drag.
They protect your cargo from thieves in a couple of ways. They usually lock at the back to protect your cargo from
thieves and they also just keep your cargo out of the eyes of people who like to take things that don't belong to them. The hidden factor alone
is a great asset for the tonneau cover owner.
The retractable tonneau covers also protects your cargo from weather conditions such as rain and snow. Your
cargo is also protected from ripping winds caused from higher speeds. This is especially great if you are carrying delicate cargo such as
plants.These covers are great when you need to carry larger, taller loads as you can open them up very quickly and easily giving you complete
access to your truck bed.
If you are looking for a tonneau cover that opens and closes easily, looks great, saves fuel, has locking
capability, completely opens for complete access to your truck bed, maybe you should have a look at the retractable tonneau covers.
