In this video, we'll help you decide whether the Load-Lid is right for your lifestyle.
At Utemaster, strength isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation.

Busy tradesman and adventurous ute owners need tough gear that works for work during the week and recreation during the weekend.
Do you struggle with: stolen equipment, lack of storage, water damage and gear not lasting the distance?
The Load-Lid is a premium hard lid, that’s built for the toughest conditions so you can get stuff done, enjoy life’s adventures.
Watch the video to see it in action.
Ute’s are designed to take a beating, so your hard lid should too!
Roller shutters are prone to jamming their fragile mechanisms on sand and dust.
A Utemaster Load-Lid™ is built tough so you can take it everywhere you go without having to worry about whether it will take the beating!
This Load-Lid has a Dynamic load rating of 200kgs and a static load rating of 400kg.
The dynamic load rating refers to the amount of load you can safely carry when you need to stop quickly at open road speeds – like an accident.
Dynamic load ratings are calculated by subjecting the hard lid to a series of formulated tests that represent real life: twisting, pulling, pushing and anything in between!
Typically, a dynamic load rating will be a lot lower than a static rating, BUT it would have been tested at weights a lot higher than the static rating to pass the dynamic test.
The aluminium extrusion used for the Load-Lid frame features a built-in T-Track which you can mount a Tool Mount Kit to.
This provides safe storage for an axe, spade, fishing rod or other gear.
Hard-working tradies and adventurers require tough gear that works on and off the job site!
The Utemaster Load-Lid is built tough - out of a 1-piece aluminium treadplate sheet that has a base thickness of 3mm.
The construction is similar to an aircraft and incorporates up to 7 meters of internal bracing and heavy-duty hardware which is bonded with glue and then riveted together, meaning there are no shortcuts on strength.
Over the life of your ute, you’ll be getting tons of gear in and out of your tub!
That’s why it’s important to have a hard lid that provides easy access to gear.
To access the tub, the Load-Lid has a single twist handle on top. Simply insert the key and twist to release the locking mechanism, and then you can lift the Load-Lid straight up.
The Load-Lid has two gas stays positioned on either side of the lid, these are to help lift it up when there is no load on top.
The loss of tools or adventure gear due to theft is not only a massive inconvenience, it’s expensive too!
The Load-Lid has catches on both sides so that when the lid is locked, it’s really hard to pry open.
The tailgate locking plate also prevents your tailgate from being opened when the lid is shut. Some vehicles now come standard with a central locking tailgate, but if you forget to lock the ute, this locking plate can save your day. However, if you require you can remove it.
You can also purchase an optional central locking accessory, which allows you to lock and unlock your Load-Lid using your car key remote.
Roller shutters have a reputation for being hard to seal because of their intricate mechanics, but the Load-Lid has one solid aluminium shell - so it’s far easier to seal and keep your gear dry!
The Load-Lid has a full bulb seal which runs right around the top of the tub. This stops water from getting in and keeps everything dry!
On the sports bar Load-Lid there are also built-in rain channels, these redirect the water around your sports bar and over the edge of the tub.
At the front of the Load-Lid is a weather seal preventing water from running into your tub when the lid is opened. On some models such as the Next-Gen Ranger and Amarok, Utemaster also supply additional sealing kits to seal factory holes.
Some tub covers are generic - designed to work on multiple utes.
This is more of a convenience to the retailer than the person who’s going to own it. A generic fit can have water tightness issues and just look out of place on the vehicle.
Utemaster use 3D scanning to tailor each Load-Lid to each specific ute, so there’s a perfect fit every time!
The Utemaster Load-Lid comes in a tough Oasis Black powder coat, this is a lot more durable than paint because it’s baked on. The black finish matches the accents of the vehicle and finishes off the tough look.
If you're in the trades you'll understand that good quality tools are worth their weight in gold!
Quality gear means fewer breakdowns and more time getting the job done.
Investing in a quality ute setup is no different, the Utemaster Load-Lid has been tried, tested and thrashed by tradies in the toughest environments.
Whether you're using it to secure your tools or take a load on top, the Load-Lid will live up to your demands.

Is the Utemaster Load-Lid to suit the BYD Shark 6 Design Registered? - Yes the code for this is: 43018
A standard Load-Lid™ to suit the BYD Shark weighs approximately 50-70kg.
The Load-Lid™ is equipped with a standard locking plate under the handle for added security. If needed, you can remove the plate to allow access to the tailgate while the Load-Lid™ remains closed. Depending on your lid model, you may need to slightly open the lid to fully access the tailgate.
Since the BYD Shark 6 tailgate comes with central locking and an electronic tailgate drop feature, most Shark owners choose to remove the locking plate for convenience. This can be done easily by following the provided instructions.
The Utemaster Load-Lid™ has a dynamic load rating of 200kg, which means you can carry 200kg of gear when driving. The load rating requirement when driving is far greater than when the vehicle is parked.
When the vehicle is parked, the Load-Lid™ has a static rating of 400kg so it will support the weight of 2 people inside a Roof Top Tent.
Along with BYD's electric power supply, your camping trips will be more convenient than ever!
Yes, the Load-Lid™ comes with a set of keys which allow you to lock the Load-Lid to suit the Shark 6 manually.
Yes it is! The Load-Lid to suit the 2025+ BYD Shark 6 has been designed for easy self install.

Unlike a roller shutter, you can put a load directly onto the aluminium treadplate surface.
Aluminium is very hard wearing and the Load-Lid™ comes standard coated in a teflon-based matte black powdercoat.
Some companies claim their roller covers or plastic lids have a load rating, but be aware that just because someone can stand on it while the vehicle is parked doesn’t mean it can carry a load.
Will the Load-Lid live up to your lifestyle demands? Check out our strong bones web page to find out how we put our products through their paces!
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.
Since the Shark 6 comes with power supply in the tub, getting your fridge hooked up will be easier than ever.
