KEY FEATURES
- Access: Gas stays assist with lifting the hard lid open. Open the tailgate while the hard lid is closed so you can get to gear when loaded.
- Secure: No exposed locks, central locking via the tailgate.
- Load Rating: 200KG Dynamic, 400kg Static.
- Install: Easy to remove and refit when you need the tub open for bigger loads
- Heavy Duty: 5052 grade aluminium lid skin with a tough black powdercoat finish.
- Strong: Strong aluminium extrusion side rails and bracing tied together as one solid system. No loose bolts or rivets in the main structure, built to stay tight and secure over time.
- Weatherproof: Front and rear seals designed for best in class weather protection, including a front seal so water runs off, not into the tub.
- Warranty: Backed by a three-year warranty for peace of mind in the field
Whats Included?
- Side Rails Built-In
- Comes Standard in Black
- Central Locking (*Via Tailgate)

whats included:
Here’s everything you get straight out of the box:
SECURITY
Keeping your gear safe shouldn’t be a hassle, whether it’s tools for work or camping gear for the weekend.
The Gearforce Hard Lid keeps all latches hidden, so there’s nothing easy to pry or tamper with.
It hooks into your vehicle’s central locking via the tailgate, so when you lock the ute, the tub locks with it.
*Patent Pending
EASY ACCESS
Drop the tailgate and lift the lid – access is straightforward.
Gas struts lift the lid, and the strap underneath makes it easy to pull down.
You can open the tailgate with the lid closed, so you can still reach your gear with a load on without lifting the whole lid.
*Patent Pending
BUILT TOUGH
Cheap hard lids can flex, rust and work loose over time.
The GearForce Hard Lid uses 5052-grade aluminium with a black powdercoat and a tempered aluminium extrusion bracing system to stay solid.
With no bolts or rivets to shake free, it’s a tough, low-fuss setup you can rely on.
*Patent Pending
WEATHER PROTECTION
A lot of hard lids leave a gap at the front, so when you lift them, water runs straight into the tub.
That means wet tools, damp camping gear and a mess to clean up every time it rains.
The GearForce Hard Lid uses a best-in-class weatherproofing system with a full front seal, keeping water out when you open up.
*Patent Pending
field ready
A lot of hard lids claim they can “take a load on top” but haven’t actually been tested.
That makes it hard to know what’s really safe when you’re strapping down tools, bikes or camping gear.
The GearForce Hard Lid is tested and rated to 200kg dynamic load on top, so you know exactly what it can handle.
*Patent Pending
EASY FITMENT
Needing the tub open for bigger or awkward loads can be a pain if your hard lid is slow to remove.
Most setups involve tools, loose hardware and a lot of mucking around.
The GearForce Hard Lid uses a quick-release system, so you can remove and refit it easily when you need full tub access.
*Patent Pending

Recently had my Gear Force hard lid installed at UTEMASTER and couldn't be happier with the service. A big shoutout to Liz for organising everything, helping with bookings and working around my schedule. Also a massive thanks to SAM for the installation, guiding me through everything from beginning to end, and showing me how to use my lid after the install. Sam was genuine and honest when helping me choose the right product to suit my lifestyle, and always put his customers first. The whole experience was smooth and the customer service was outstanding. I'll definitely be back for more upgrades to my ute. Thanks again to the team for looking after me. Highly recommend! 🙌

After spending a lot of time looking for the perfect lid, I settled on the Geoforce. It's a great product, though the website needs a good update to provide clearer clarification's on difference between products. Give them a chance and call them direct to help guide you. From the moment I turned up today, Both the installers Sam and Muhammad put my mind at ease and did an amazing job, spending time explaining the process, parts and putting it all together. Including making sure I knew how to use it. The Geoforce lid is a very sexy lid.
