South Africans have a great love for their bakkies. The commonly known pick-up truck has been renamed “bakkie” locally, using an Afrikaans word that has now become an accepted English one too. Bakkies have become all-purpose vehicles and especially the double-cab versions do multiple jobs, from taking people to work and dropping the children at school to the vehicle of choice for that annual caravanning vacation or overland safari.
Unfortunately, bakkies do not have an effective means of securing their load bays. Loading goods onto the back of the bakkie might be one of the basic functions of this type of vehicle, but sadly, you will always run the risk of being robbed of your belongings when the vehicle is stationary of left alone. This can happen at a traffic light or in a parking lot. Luckily, Electronic Fitment Centre offers a practical solution to add safety and security to your bakkie’s loading bay. The Securi-Lid provides your bakkie with an aluminium roller lid that can lock and therefore secures any content in the load bay – and we can fit a Securi-Lid to your bakkie as well.
The Basics of the Securi-Lid
The Securi-Lid is a robust aluminium roller-shutter door that is fitted onto the loading bay of your single- or double-cab bakkie. It is very neat and integrated and adds to the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle. The installation process does not require any cutting into the body, frame, or panels. The lock integrates into the tailgate of your vehicle through the Grip Lock hatch to safely secure any content in the load bay. With a roller lid, the loading bay is easily accessible once the lid is rolled back. The roller lid does not reduce or impede access to the load box of your bakkie at all.
With it mounted on top of the loading bay, the Securi-Lid hardly affects your bakkie’s load capacity, only needing a little space to roll up at the end of the load box at the cab. This sturdy aluminium roller lid is available in three colours, namely white, grey, and black, to complement your bakkie’s looks. The Securi-Lid adds immeasurably to your vehicle’s safety and overall practicality.
We offer a wide spectrum of products that we also install on an even wider range of vehicles, including Securi-Lid installations for bakkies.
