What is a Truck Lid?
Truck lids are caps that fit over the bed section of the truck. These caps or lids are often used in conjunction with a bed liner, creating an effective seal of protection for any items placed in the bed. There are several different options available with various makes and models of these bed covers, making it possible to find a truck lid that is right for just about any type of truck. A typical truck lid is a solid piece of lightweight metal or fiberglass that fits snugly over the sides of the truck bed. Usually, the lid is kept in place with the use of clamps at each of the four corners. Some designs are hinged, making it possible to secure the lid at one end of the bed. Springs make it possible raise the opposite end of the lid and lock it into position when loading or unloading cargo. While a basic truck lid requires manual operation, there are models today that make use of electronics to open and close the lid using a remote control device.
