Suits the following Ford Genuine Roller Shutters:
2022+ Wildtrak: Available
2022+ Ranger Raptor: Available
2022+ Wildtrak X & Platinum: Not Compatible
Roller shutters are built for convenience, not for versatility. They limit the amount of gear you can take with you because you can't load anything on top and you lose a significant amount of space inside the tub from the canister at the front.
This means you are limited by how much gear you can take and will often have to resort to a trailer or second vehicle for those big jobs or serious adventures.
The GearForce Opening Tub Platform is a game changer because it doubles the storage capacity of your ute by giving you a strong platform above your roller cover that can take up to 200kgs of additional gear. For added convenience, the platform opens on gas struts so you can still easily access the gear under your roller cover.
The GearForce Platform is made from hard-wearing aluminium with stainless steel hardware with a high load capacity so you don't have to worry about damaging your Roller Shutter underneath!
The platform boasts a dynamic load capacity of 200kgs and a static load capacity of 300kgs.
Whether you have a dirty wheelbarrow, ladder, pallet, kayak or mountain bike, the GearForce Platform will allow you to utilise the load area on top and underneath the roller shutter!
Securing your gear with the optional tie-down hooks is a breeze!
These can be positioned anywhere along the rack where there is a mounting hole present.

(Includes 6x Tie Hooks)
The gas stays used to open the GearForce platform can be positioned in either of two positions to help with opening the rack:
Position #1: The platform can comfortably be opened and closed without any load on top
Position #2: Can lift a maximum load of 30kgs.
Fixed platforms are sometimes used on Wildtraks. However, these will generally restrict access to your tub because they don't open out of the way or are mounted on high legs which makes the loading height difficult.
The GearForce platform hinges open at the front giving you easy access to all your gear.
The GearForce Platform comes standard with a load stop at the front which you can push your load hard up against it without worrying about damaging your cab. This also gives you additional tie-down points to ensure that the most awkward loads are still safe.
Due to the fact that a roller shutter has no load capacity, some ute owners choose to mount a platform over the top so that they can utilise the load area.
The tub platforms/racks are usually hard to remove which makes it difficult to transport a large object such as a motorbike.
The GearForce Platform is designed with a quick-release hinge and gas strut system which allows you to remove it in under a minute when required.
The GearForces Platforms comes standard with a lock to secure it in place.
This ensures your GearForce Platform is safe on the tub at all times.
The platform offers adjustable crossbars with multiple holes, allowing you to customize the spacing to suit your needs.
Please note: The rubber strip shown in the cross bars is not yet available to purchase.
The slam catch system of the platform is operated by a spring bolt on either side.
If you only have one hand spare you can lock out the spring bolts individually, meaning you can open the platform without putting down the gear that you're carrying.
Unlike a traditional Tub Rack or Cross Bar setup, the GearForce Platform has a low profile design that allows it to sit as close as possible to the Roller Shutter.
This makes it easier to load gear because you're not lifting it up as high. It also makes it look slim and integrated with the ute design.
