Underneath the Load-Lid™ handle, there is a locking plate that is designed to prevent the tailgate from being opened when the Load-Lid™ is shut.
This comes standard on the Load-Lid™ because many modern Ute's do not come with a central locking tailgate, it helps to make your tub more secure.
If you already have a central locking tailgate and do not require this plate, it can be removed for easier access to the tub.
Each lid is supplied with a unique set of keys designed to work with your lid. This means you can securely lock away items in your tub.
Hard Lid Central Locking kit allows you to lock your Load-Lid with the factory Vehicle Remote. The Central Locking kit comes complete with a plug and play loom.
Please note: Your lid can be locked manually using the supplied key.
The 3mm hardwearing aluminium treadplate construction means that you don’t have to worry about damaging your precious hard top! Whether you have a dirty wheelbarrow, lawnmower, ladder, pallet, kayak or mountain bike, the Load-Lid™ will work for you.
The Load-Lid™ comes standard coated in a teflon-based matte black Powdercoat.
Running out of space in your tub? With the Load-Lid™ there are no intrusions below the top edge of your tub. The unique raised edge profile also adds a staunch appearance, improves rigidity and reduces water pooling.
A complete automotive bulb seal provides a positive seal against the top of your tub. When the Load-Lid™ is opened water runs off the back of your lid and onto the ground - not into your tub, protecting the tools and equipment you have in your tub.
This is an innovative feature developed to ensure your gear stays dry even when hitting the Sports Bar Lid at high speeds.
The channels re-direct the water hitting the front of the Load-Lid™ along the sides and off the back - Keeping your gear dry.
The Load-Lid™ can easily be removed by undoing the x4 wing bolts holding it in place. This can be done in a matter of minutes and all you'll need is a mate to help lift it off. This gives you the space you'll need to carry objects such as a quad bike in your tub.

Q) What is the weight of a Load-Lid™?
A) A standard Load-Lid™ weighs approximately 50-70kg
Q) Can I open the tailgate when the Load-Lid™ is closed?
A) The Load-Lid™ comes standard with a locking plate under the handle which serves as an extra security measure. If required, you can remove it which will allow you to open the tailgate while the Load-Lid™ is closed.
If your Ute doesn't have a central locking tailgate we recommend that you install this to provide security without the plate.
Q) What if my Roof Top Tent and with people inside is over the 200kg rating?
A) The Utemaster Load-Lid™ has a dynamic load rating of 200kg, which means you can carry 200kg of gear when driving. A typical Roof Top Tent weighs under 100kg.
When parked, a 300kg static load rating applies. This means you can easily transport your tent to the campsite, then it will support the weight of the people inside when parked.
We do not recommend carrying more than 200kg when driving.
Q) If I don't add the Central Locking accessory, can I still lock my Load-Lid?
A) Yes, the Load-Lid™ comes with a set of keys which allow you to lock the lid manually.
Q) Is the Load-Lid easy to fit?
A) The Standard and Sports Bar Load-Lids are very easy to install and are be done without needing to drill into the tub. We recommend you check out the instructions listed further up this page so you can see how it works for your model.
If you are not confident in doing this yourself we can arrange fitting through one of our resellers.
Q) Will the Load-Lid™ work with my liner?
A) If it is a spray-on liner you'll have no issues fitting the Load-Lid. If you have a plastic liner that goes over the top of the Tub you may need to cut it down so the lid sits correctly and does not leak.
Q) Will the Load-Lid™ work with my slide-out fridge?
A) The Load-Lid™ sits above the edge of the Tub, so the height of the fridges you can fit is determined by the Tub depth. It is very common for customers to put fridges underneath the Load-Lid.
