Customizing truck beds can help improve work truck driver efficiency and productivity, while keeping tools and equipment safe. The following truck bed accessories are a few of the options currently available in the market.
UnderCover's patented design offers ease of use and versatility, according to the manufacturer.
Quick-release struts and a new hidden hinge allow cover removal without tools in just seconds. At just 58 lbs. average weight, UnderCover is the lightest hard-locking cover on the market. Wall-mount hardware is included to store the cover when not in use.

Additional features include an interior dome light, pull-down strap, secure dual-twist locks, and full perimeter weather-tight seal. The black OEM textured finish compliments trucks of any color.
UnderCover also introduces the SwingCase, "the most innovative and versatile truck storage box ever made," according to a company spokesperson.
Built of lightweight, high-impact ABS plastic, the weatherproof SwingCase is custom-fitted to individual fleet applications. The company claims two SwingCases can be purchased for less than the price of an old-fashioned truck bed box, with added space savings.
The SwingCase provides within-reach storage without sacrificing truck bed use. When the release lever is pulled, gear swings out, allowing easy access to the truck bed.

The easy-to-use QwikLiner spray-on bed liner cartridge system requires no clean up and uses no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The low-cost QwikLiner system delivers a 100-percent solid polyurea lining. Prior to QwikLiner, the only quality bed liners found used an expensive high-pressure system, according to the company.

The retractable function allows a driver to open or close the cover in seconds. Its rigid, vinyl-over-aluminum laminated construction provides added strength and security.
The cover design eliminates panels to fold or snaps to manipulate. There are no rolls or bundles to stow, no crossbars to negotiate around, or fabric shrinkage to struggle with.
With the smallest housing in the industry, according to the company, the Roll-N-Lock M-Series utilizes a clamp-on track system for quick and simple installation. A torsion spring-drive mechanism is enclosed in an aluminum housing, which also offers an integrated cargo shield and new hinged lid for easy maintenance access.
The cover is constructed of marine-grade vinyl laminated to heavy 0.04 gauge, with interlocking, extruded-aluminum slats for added strength. The latch mechanism can be used to lock the cover to the tracks and the tailgate, providing a secure cargo environment.
