Features & Benefits
Exclusive STANCE Vertical Storage Design
Traditional folding tonneau covers often require partial bed access or complete removal when hauling oversized cargo. The LOMAX STANCE was engineered to solve this challenge.
Using its innovative vertical storage system, the cover folds upward and locks securely behind the cab, providing nearly full truck bed access without requiring removal.
Benefits include:
- Maximum bed accessibility
- Faster cargo loading and unloading
- Reduced storage concerns
- Greater convenience for oversized cargo
- Improved worksite efficiency
Whether loading lumber, furniture, appliances, ATVs, motorcycles, or construction materials, the STANCE makes accessing the full bed easier than ever.
RIGIDLINK Locking System
At the heart of the STANCE design is LOMAX's exclusive RIGIDLINK locking system.
This advanced mechanism secures the folded cover at approximately a 90-degree angle behind the cab while helping prevent the cover from contacting the rear window.
Advantages include:
- Stable vertical positioning
- Enhanced safety during transport
- Rear window protection
- Secure cargo access
- Improved structural support
The system allows the cover to remain installed while maximizing truck bed usability.
Note: When in the vertical position, the cover blocks the vehicle's third brake light.
Rugged Urethane Diamond Plate Finish
The STANCE Hard Cover features LOMAX's premium Urethane Diamond Plate finish, providing both aggressive styling and long-term durability.
Key finish benefits include:
- Anti-skid surface texture
- Durable alloy construction
- Corrosion resistance
- Scratch resistance
- Impact absorption
- UV protection
The textured diamond plate appearance gives the cover a rugged, commercial-grade look that complements work trucks, off-road builds, and heavy-duty pickups alike.
Unlike traditional bare metal diamond plate surfaces, the urethane coating provides superior weather resistance and easier maintenance.
Reinforced Aluminum Panel Construction
The STANCE utilizes lightweight aluminum panels reinforced with extruded aluminum support channels to provide exceptional structural integrity.
Benefits include:
- Supports up to 400 lbs. evenly distributed
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Long-term durability
- Lightweight operation
- Enhanced panel rigidity
Despite its impressive strength, the cover weighs approximately 50–60 lbs., allowing for manageable operation without compromising durability.
This makes it ideal for truck owners who need heavy-duty performance without excessive weight.
Automatic Dual Locking System
Convenience and security are built into every aspect of the STANCE.
The automatic dual-locking system allows both locking points to release simultaneously by pulling the integrated cord from either side of the truck bed.
Heavy-duty reinforced nylon latches provide:
- Positive lock engagement
- Smooth operation
- Long-term reliability
- Enhanced cargo protection
This allows fast access to cargo while maintaining dependable security when the cover is closed.
Automatic Ten-Point Locking Security
As the cover is unfolded, it automatically locks at ten separate points using reinforced nylon locking components.
Advantages include:
- Enhanced theft deterrence
- Uniform security across the cover
- Improved panel stability
- Automatic engagement
Unlike complicated keyed systems, the STANCE locking design offers simple and dependable operation.
Weather-Tight Cargo Protection
Protecting valuable cargo from the elements is a primary function of any premium tonneau cover, and the STANCE is engineered to excel in demanding conditions.
Its weather protection system includes:
- Waterproof hinges
- Continuous side rail seals
- Flexible rubber weather stripping
- Water-shedding panel design
- Bed rail overlap protection
Together, these features help divert water away from the truck bed without relying on complicated drain tubes or gutter systems.
This makes the cover an excellent vehicle storage solution for:
- Tools
- Electronics
- Camping equipment
- Hunting gear
- Recovery equipment
- Luggage and personal belongings
Molded Storage Brackets
When folded open, the STANCE utilizes molded storage brackets and retractable bungee retention systems to securely hold the panels in position.
Benefits include:
- Secure panel retention
- Quick transition between open and closed positions
- Reduced vibration
- No adjustment requirements
Rubber-padded standoffs help maintain proper panel spacing and reduce wear over time.
TIGHT BITE Clamp System
Installation is simplified through the use of LOMAX's exclusive TIGHT BITE clamp technology.
The specially engineered clamp teeth provide:
- Superior grip strength
- Secure mounting
- Damage-free installation
- Long-term durability
The entire system installs without drilling into the truck bed, preserving the integrity and value of your vehicle.
Quiet Ride Engineering
Truck owners often overlook cover noise until vibration and rattling become a problem.
The STANCE incorporates:
- Rubber-isolated pivot points
- Powder-coated steel pivot links
- Flexible weather seals
- Rubber-bushed mounting points
- Reduced metal-on-metal contact
These features work together to minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement during everyday driving.

Its unique design provides:
- Secure closed-bed protection
