Tough decks for heavy loads

Written by 

BEST BARS Ltd makes alloy decks for most 1-tonne ute models carrying heavy loads.

 

The Advantage brand alloy decks are said to be tough and durable; anodised finish keeps its looks for longer, says the firm.

Made from high-strength, lightweight extruded alloy, the decks can shift up to 20% more load per trip. And when not fully loaded, the lighter weight causes less wear on driveline components and saves fuel.

And for vehicle owners wanting to stay with steel-and-wood decks, Best Bars is using advanced polymers and wood, combined with transport grade plywood flooring to produce a deck that “looks great and retains its strength and durability”.

“It still looks like the decks used on farm utes for years, but the lighter design allows more to be carried.”

A full range of accessories can be added to make the Advantage decks even more versatile, including tool trays that slide underneath.

For wellside utes Best Bars has re-engineered its trifold Advantage tonneau cover to keep goods hidden and dry. 

It resembles a hard surface but is made from fabric, superior for covering the cargo areas of working utes. It can be folded back to allow for items to be carried in the tray and the vehicle can be driven while the cover is open.
