Weather Guard adds new truck boxes and headache racks

The 2024 Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes include the one-key Ultralock security feature.

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.

Weather Guard says the 2024 truck boxes include more than 60 unique product models for full, compact and low-profile trucks.

Weather Guard is also introducing four new aluminum headache racks, which it says are designed to protect cab occupants from injury if a cargo load suddenly shifts. According to Weather Guard, a built-in accessory channel allows easy mounting of light brackets, attachment points or cargo stops as desired.

Additionally, the company tells us the racks height adjustable depending on the demands of the vehicle or job, and they are compatible with a variety of truck boxes, including saddle boxes, low-sides and gull-wings.
