RLD Design’s stainless steel truck caps are an excellent option for overlanding and adventure enthusiasts who need durable, load-bearing coverage for their truck beds.
Truck caps and camper shells protect gear from weather and theft, but many common fiberglass shells, while lightweight, are not designed to carry significant weight on top. That limitation can restrict the amount and type of equipment you can take on extended trips.
RLD truck caps are manufactured in South Africa and engineered specifically for the demands of overlanding, off-road, and expedition use. Now available in North America, these robust caps give U.S. adventure travelers a new, heavy-duty option for securing and expanding their load-carrying capabilities.
Impressive Load Rating
RLD caps feature an industry-leading dynamic load rating of 700 lbs, meaning they can support a rooftop tent, substantial outdoor gear, or even construction materials without compromising structural integrity. This high load capacity opens up more options for packing and outfitting your vehicle for long trips.
The caps’ unique stainless steel construction creates exceptionally strong load-bearing surfaces that stand up to the stresses of heavy use and expedition-style outfitting.
Built for Off-Road Durability
RLD uses precision manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent quality and durability. Components are laser-cut and multi-axis CNC bent to match 3D CAD designs, then TIG welded for strength and finished with a heavy, textured powder coat that resists abrasion and corrosion.
These production methods yield a truck cap designed to endure the repeated impacts, vibration, and harsh environments associated with overlanding and off-road travel.
The Gladiator models, first seen at Overland Expo, are now arriving and expand RLD’s lineup for serious adventurers seeking rugged, load-capable canopies.
