MASSILLON, OHIO – Truck cap and tonneau cover manufacturer A.R.E. delivers total in-bed organizational solutions that can help fleet owners lower operating costs while remaining productive. A.R.E. began manufacturing truck caps and tonneau covers out of its Ohio facility almost four decades ago and currently offers a variety of toppers for most full, mid-size, and small trucks in the market today.
The Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) was developed in the 1970s to serve commercial fleet applications. Featuring a fully welded aluminum inner structure, this commercial cap has more than 200 options to turn any pickup into a work truck, including a variety of door and window configurations, toolboxes, custom ladder racks, interior fabric liners, side panels, and overall cap heights.
Additional organizational solutions available from A.R.E. include the Bedslide sliding cargo tray, which allows technicians to pull equipment out of the bed for easy access, and the Kargo Master Pro II Series universal truck rack. The truck rack has a 1,700 pound cargo capacity so it can easily transport large items like lumber, drywall, or ladders.
A.R.E. also offers heavy-duty aluminum truck covers from DiamondBack that
create a 1,600 lb. hauling platform and open at both ends to provide full
access to tools and equipment. Prime Design locking ladder racks, Sortimo
in-vehicle shelving solutions, and a variety of toolboxes options are
available, as well.
