Work truck equipment manufacturer Weather Guard has introduced new truck boxes and headache racks. The 2024 Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes include the one-key Ultralock security feature, which Weather Guard says combines maximum security protection, ability to manage keys to multiple boxes and new visual locking cues. A new red push button lock mechanism lets end-users know at a glance if the box is locked or not—if the red button is popped up, the box is unlocked.
