Features & Benefits
Revolutionary STANCE Vertical Access Design
The standout feature of the LOMAX STANCE is its ability to provide exceptional truck bed access without removing the cover.
Unlike traditional folding tonneau covers that limit access when folded, the STANCE folds upward into a secure vertical position behind the cab. This innovative design maximizes usable bed space while eliminating the inconvenience of removing and storing the cover.
Benefits include:
- Near full-bed accessibility
- Faster loading and unloading
- Improved worksite efficiency
- Easier transport of oversized cargo
- Greater flexibility for everyday use
Whether hauling lumber, appliances, landscaping materials, motorcycles, ATVs, or recreational equipment, the STANCE adapts to changing cargo needs with ease.
Exclusive RIGIDLINK Locking Technology
The STANCE utilizes LOMAX's proprietary RIGIDLINK locking system to secure the folded cover in an upright position.
Once folded, the cover locks at approximately a 90-degree angle behind the cab, providing stability while preventing contact with the rear window.
Benefits include:
- Secure vertical positioning
- Rear window protection
- Enhanced operational safety
- Improved cargo accessibility
- Elimination of cover removal
This system provides the convenience of a removable cover while keeping everything securely attached to the vehicle.
Important Note: When positioned vertically, the cover blocks the factory third brake light.
Premium Urethane Aluminum Finish
The Urethane Aluminum finish offers a perfect balance of durability, appearance, and long-term performance.
Engineered to withstand demanding environments, this finish provides:
- High-strength alloy construction
- Corrosion resistance
- Scratch resistance
- Impact absorption
- UV protection
- Long-term durability
The finish maintains a clean, refined appearance while standing up to harsh weather conditions, road debris, and daily use.
For truck owners seeking a premium appearance without sacrificing durability, the Urethane Aluminum finish is an excellent choice.
Reinforced Aluminum Construction
Beneath the premium finish lies a reinforced aluminum panel system supported by extruded aluminum channels.
This construction delivers:
- Supports up to 400 lbs. of evenly distributed weight
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Increased panel rigidity
- Long-term structural durability
- Lightweight operation
Despite its rugged construction, the STANCE weighs approximately 50–60 lbs., making it manageable for daily operation while providing commercial-grade strength.
Automatic Dual Locking System
The STANCE is equipped with an automatic dual-locking system that simplifies access to your truck bed.
Both locking points release simultaneously by pulling an integrated cord from either side of the bed.
Heavy-duty reinforced nylon latches provide:
- Positive lock engagement
- Smooth operation
- Long-term reliability
- Enhanced cargo security
This design provides quick access while maintaining confidence that your cargo remains protected.
Automatic Ten-Point Locking Security
As the cover is unfolded, reinforced locking components automatically engage multiple locking locations throughout the cover.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced theft deterrence
- Increased panel stability
- Uniform cargo protection
- Automatic operation
Unlike complicated keyed locking systems, the STANCE delivers dependable security through a simple and effective design.
Advanced Weather-Tight Protection
Protecting valuable cargo from the elements is a critical function of any premium hard tonneau cover.
The STANCE incorporates:
- Waterproof hinges
- Water-shedding panel design
- Continuous side rail seals
- Flexible weather-resistant rubber seals
- Overlapping bed rail protection
Together, these components help keep water, dirt, snow, and road debris out of the truck bed while directing moisture away from cargo.
This makes the STANCE an excellent vehicle storage solution for:
- Tools
- Electronics
- Camping gear
- Hunting equipment
- Emergency supplies
- Personal belongings
Molded Storage Brackets & Retention System
When folded, the STANCE utilizes molded storage brackets and retractable bungee retention straps to secure the cover.
Advantages include:
- Secure folded-panel retention
- Reduced movement during operation
- No adjustment requirements
- Improved durability
Rubber-padded standoffs maintain proper panel spacing and help minimize wear over time.
TIGHT BITE Clamp Technology
Installation is simplified through LOMAX's proven TIGHT BITE clamp system.
Specially engineered clamp teeth provide:
- Exceptional grip strength
- No-drill installation
- Secure attachment
- Long-term durability
The system allows the cover to be installed without damaging factory bed rails or requiring permanent vehicle modifications.
Quiet Ride Engineering
The STANCE is engineered to reduce unwanted noise and vibration.
Features include:
