Hard lids for dual cab utes
When it comes to finding the ideal storage and styling solution for your dual-cab ute, whether you’re a tradie hauling tools and supplies, or a family of 5 setting off with a load of cargo on board – it’s important to find a solution that best suits your lifestyle.
While a full-height canopy is a great for additional storage away from the weather, others will prefer the sleek styling of a hard lid without compromising on security and the ability to carry an extra roof load. A ute lid helps keep the load low on the vehicle for improved handling and fuel economy.
ARB Sportlid
The ARB Sportlid is a great option when it comes to enhancing the sporty styling of a dual cab ute while offering secure and weatherproof storage for gear, as well as functional load carrying capacity on the top.
Offering full rain and wind protection with superior protection against dust ingress, the Sportlid is conveniently versatile, meaning it’s not just designed for keeping your gear safe.
Its 75kg dynamic load rating and two T-slot channels also make it the perfect platform for mounting a range of lifestyle accessories – including bike racks, rooftop tents and more!
Made in New Zealand
The shells of the ARB Sportlid are manufactured in New Zealand.
Available in Standard fitment or Premium
The ARB Sportlid is available across a range of popular current dual-cab vehicle models, with the option to be ordered in ‘Standard’ fitment or ‘Premium’ (includes central locking and interior light).
Simplified mounting rail
Provides a reduction in fitting time, weight and complexity, with the redefined hinging mechanism offering smoother and easier operation.
Accessible and secure
With a simple twist and lift of the handle, you’ll have easy access to the gear inside your ute’s tub. The standard gas-assist struts make both the opening and closing operation effortless while the optional heavy-duty strut upgrade caters for up to 25kg of mounted load.
Security in style
Security and over-tub load carrying (both under and above the cover) are two distinct advantages of a hard lid over a standard soft tonneau or many roll-tops which are less secure or have bulky mechanisms which take up precious cargo space. Constructed from tough ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), The ARB Sportlid features great aesthetic lines for seamless integration with your vehicle, the option for central locking for the convenience of keyless entry and is compatible with Thule and Rhino-Rack cross bars.
One piece construction
With its clever hinge design, the single piece Sportlid also allows the lid to function as normal when accessories are mounted on top. Whether it's keeping a factory Sportsbar look, or fitting roof load accessories for work or play, the Sportlid is a versatile cargo storage solution. *Factory Sportsbar adapter kits sold separately.
