The RETRAX ™ Rigid Retractable Pickup Bed Cover ™ is manufactured from polycarbonate, a virtually indestructible thermoplastic commonly known as LEXAN®.  This rigid one-piece sheet incorporates sealed ball-bearing rollers and it is engineered to retract or close without joints or hinges that can trap dust, wear out or freeze.  Polycarbonate has excellent impact resistance and is unaffected by sun, moisture or temperatures from  -50º to +200º.  This patented design is engineered tough and it is maintenance-free.  Treat the RETRAX ™ cover like you would treat the hood of your truck.

      For nine years, Applied Products, Inc., Grand Forks, ND, has manufactured and distributed the RETRAX ™ bed cover.  The RETRAX ™ design is unique because it is flat from front to back, which allows water to flow off quickly without obstruction; this design also enhances the appearance of the cover.  This patented hi-tech design has set a new standard for the retractable bed cover industry; when you purchase a RETRAX ™ you are investing in the very best.

RETRAX ™ has a gloss-black finish and is UV protected for years of maintenance-free shelter from the sun.  Our engineers use the same technology used in fighter jet windshields and bullet-proof glass and designed a bed cover that withstands the most rugged use.  Tempered aluminum support beams imbedded into the polycarbonate sheet add strength and security.  The RETRAX ™ cover can easily support heavy snow loads; this type of construction insures quiet, stable travel at any speed.

When you need access to your pickup bed, simply release the flush-mounted latch with the touch of a button and the cover glides out of you way with just on hand – no snaps to fight with, no tarp to roll up.  The RETRAX ™ can be latched or key-locked in any position along the rail to allow unlimited hauling flexibility and convenient use with a fifth-wheel trailer.  Unlike toppers or lift-up fiberglass lids, the RETRAX ™ won’t obstruct your cargo area when you need it most. 

Open a RETRAX ™ and you will immediately be impressed at the way it smoothly glides back and forth with one hand.  Sealed ball-bearing rollers mounted onto each end of the aluminum support beams allow the cover to retract or close easily without the use of springs or any kind of mechanism.  No moving parts to jam, freeze or fail.  The compact storage canister contains a unique spiral track storage system that prevents the cover from rubbing on itself as it opens and closes, helping eliminate wear and tear on the cover.  RETRAX ™ is backed by a full one year warranty.
