Features & Benefits
Rugged Diamond Plate Appearance
The Urethane Diamond Plate finish is one of the most distinctive finishes available in the LOMAX lineup. Inspired by traditional industrial diamond plate surfaces, it provides an aggressive, heavy-duty appearance that complements work trucks, lifted trucks, off-road builds, and commercial fleet vehicles alike.
Unlike actual metal tread plate surfaces that can become hot, oxidized, or difficult to maintain, the urethane-coated diamond plate finish offers:
- Anti-skid textured styling
- Corrosion resistance
- UV protection
- Scratch resistance
- Long-term durability
- Easy maintenance
The result is a rugged appearance that continues to look great year after year.
High-Strength Aluminum Construction
At the heart of every LOMAX Folding Hard Cover is a premium aluminum panel structure engineered to provide maximum durability while minimizing weight.
Extruded aluminum reinforcement channels beneath each panel help create a highly rigid cover capable of supporting substantial loads without compromising usability.
Benefits include:
- Supports up to 400 lbs. evenly distributed
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Lightweight operation
- Reduced stress on hinges and hardware
- Long-term structural integrity
This design allows the cover to remain strong enough for demanding work environments while still being manageable for everyday use.
Automatic Dual Locking System
Convenience and security are essential for any truck bed cover.
The LOMAX features an automatic dual-locking system that allows both locking points to release simultaneously from either side of the truck bed using a simple pull cord.
Heavy-duty reinforced nylon latches provide:
- Positive lock engagement
- Smooth operation
- Reduced wear
- Reliable long-term security
This system allows fast access to your cargo while maintaining confidence that your truck bed remains protected when closed.
Automatic Ten-Point Locking Security
As each section of the LOMAX is unfolded, it automatically locks into place at ten separate points along the cover.
Advantages include:
- Enhanced theft deterrence
- Improved panel stability
- Uniform security across the entire cover
- Automatic operation with no additional steps required
The reinforced nylon locking components are designed to provide dependable operation while reducing metal-on-metal wear.
Weather-Tight Protection
Protecting cargo from the elements is one of the primary reasons truck owners choose a hard tonneau cover.
The LOMAX incorporates multiple weather-protection technologies, including:
- Waterproof hinges
- Continuous side rail seals
- Flexible rubber weather stripping
- Overlapping bed rail coverage
- Water-shedding panel design
Unlike some systems that rely on drainage tubes or gutters, the LOMAX directs water away naturally while helping prevent rain, snow, dust, and debris from entering the truck bed.
This makes it an excellent vehicle storage solution for tools, equipment, luggage, hunting gear, recovery equipment, and other valuable cargo.
Integrated Storage Clips
When hauling oversized cargo, the LOMAX can be folded open and secured using built-in retractable storage clips.
Additional benefits include:
- Secure folded-panel retention
- No manual adjustments required
- Reduced vibration while driving
- Improved panel protection
Rubber-padded standoffs maintain proper spacing between folded panels, helping prevent wear and noise.
TIGHT BITE Clamp Technology
The exclusive TIGHT BITE clamp system simplifies installation while providing exceptional holding power.
Specially engineered clamp teeth:
- Deliver superior grip strength
- Eliminate drilling requirements
- Protect factory bed rails
- Provide long-term mounting security
This no-drill design allows most truck owners to install the cover quickly while maintaining the integrity of their vehicle.
Easy-On, Easy-Off Removal
Truck owners occasionally need full bed access, and the LOMAX is designed to make removal simple.
To remove the cover:
- Fold the cover completely open.
- Engage the storage clips.
- Pull the front release tab.
- Slide the cover rearward to disengage the hooks.
- Lift the cover off the vehicle.
Reinstallation is equally simple and automatically locks into place once secured.
This design gives owners the flexibility of a removable hard tonneau cover without sacrificing security or convenience.
Noise and Vibration Reduction
Many folding covers develop rattles and vibration over time.
LOMAX incorporates:
- Flexible rubber seals
- Limited metal-on-metal contact
- Reinforced panel supports
- Precision-fit side rails
These features work together to reduce vibration, rattling, and wind noise while improving overall driving comfort.
