Which cover suits you?

Hardtop, Sportcover or Rollcover?

All three systems protect the loading area of a pickup from the weather and theft - but they differ significantly in terms of volume, appearance and flexibility. Find out which solution suits your application here.

Road Ranger RH5 Hardtop auf Pickup

Hardtop

Maximum weather-protected volume

A hardtop is a fixed body solution that completely encloses the load compartment and protrudes well over the edge of the vehicle.

Strengths

  • Largest weather-protected load volume
  • Fully-fledged storage space for bulky loads, camping, tools
  • Tailgate and rear window can be opened fully
  • Ideal base for roof racks, roof tent and load transport

What you need to be prepared for

  • Significantly changes the pickup silhouette
  • Higher vehicle height - check underground car parks
  • Highest investment of the three variants

Road Ranger Sportcover (Tonneau Cover) auf Pickup-Ladefläche

Sportcover (tonneau cover)

Original pickup look, full platform depth

A Sportcover lies flat on the edge and retains the original pick-up line. Available as a fixed aluminium, folding and soft cover variant.

Strengths

  • Original pickup look is retained
  • Full depth of the loading area can be utilised - no fittings
  • Low additional weight
  • Lowest entry-level price of the three systems

What you need to be prepared for

  • Weather-protected volume ends at the height of the board edge
  • High or bulky loads do not fit underneath
  • Not suitable for roof rack superstructures

Road Ranger Elektrisches Rollcover auf Pickup-Ladefläche

Rollcover

Can be opened while travelling

A Rollcover is a roll-up flat cover. When closed, it lies flat on the edge of the vehicle and rolls back into a box at the front when required - even while travelling.

Strengths

  • Flexible: open or closed in seconds
  • Full loading height upwards again when open (then unprotected)
  • Visually close to the original pickup look
  • Manual and electric versions available

What you need to be prepared for

  • Weather-protected volume only up to the edge of the shelf
  • Rolling box reduces the usable depth of the loading area
  • Mechanics require some maintenance
