When you see the GearForce name on something, you know it's been tested and proven in the field.
Here’s everything you get straight out of the box:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 180kg dynamic load on top, so you know exactly what it can handle.
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.
