The LOMAX is a low-profile, lightweight hard tri-fold cover built with aluminum panels and extruded-channel reinforcement—typically weighing around 40–60 lb depending on the model.  It sits flush with the bed rails (< ½″ above), maintaining a sleek, OEM-like appearance .  Available in various finishes: Black urethane finish, diamond plate, carbon fiber look, and professional series variants.

Purpose

• Protects cargo from theft and weather by fully covering the bed.

• Offers structural capacity: standard support approx. 400 lb, with the Professional series rated up to 500 lb evenly distributed 

• Enhances fuel economy and aesthetics by reducing aerodynamic drag.

• Maintains usability: fades into the background when you need full bed access.
