More options than ever for pick-up owners as Gearmate introduces new Pro Hardtop Canopy and Geardeck Tonneau Cover lines
GEARMATE HAS UNVEILED two new lines of canopies and tonneau covers for 4x4 pick-ups. Joining the company’s already vast range of equipment and accessories, which includes its famous Gearslides and Geardrawers), these have been developed in-house and, in Gearmate’s own words, are ‘proudly made in the UK.’ The new Pro Hardtop Canopy is a high-security item made from
aluminium – making it 100% recyclable and, says Gearmate, giving it a low carbon footprint compared to imported GRP tops. It features both gull-wing and rear door access, with built in ventilation and weatherproofing, and has a 250kg load-bearing roof. Its doors are ideal for displaying your company logo, too – and indeed Gearmate can wrap them for you as an optional extra.
Being UK made, the Pro Hardtop Canopy comes with a short lead time of just six weeks. It’s currently only available for the 2021 Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max, however Gearmate says it will be rolled out for other pick-ups soon. The Geardeck Tonneau Cover, meanwhile, has three side openings – providing extensive stowage possibilities whether you use your truck for work or play. Once again, these units are 100% recyclable and offer a top surface with a 250kg load capacity. They’re made from high-strength, lightweight aluminium and come
with a durable Line-X finish. Gearmate says they’re more secure than roll-top load covers and that they’re designed with a built-in weatherproof drainage system – meaning you have rapid access to your load but the rain doesn’t. Whether you’re interested in either of these units, or indeed the very many other items Gearmate has been making for pick-up trucks since its formation in 2016, the good news is that this is a fine example of a British company making quality kit. The kit in question is all there to be found with a visit to www. gearmate.co.uk.
