Weather Guard introduced several new innovations for the professional tradesmen. These include the 2024 Saddle and Lo-Side Boxes and four new aluminum headache racks that are easily adjustable, turning any truck into a professional, multi-functioning work truck.
“At Weather Guard, we are committed to protecting professional reputations by providing the most state-of-the-art storage solutions to protect the tools and equipment they depend on,” said Carla Ramalho, Weather Guard sr. product manager. “We focus on delivering the highest performance truck and van solutions that make a day on the job more productive and more efficient.
The 2024 Weather Guard Saddle and Lo-Side truck boxes feature 1Key Ultralock, a locking and latching system that allows users to manage one truck or an entire fleet of truck boxes by coding every truck box to the single 1Key. Another new feature is the ability to see at a glance if the truck box is locked or not with the highly visible, pop-up red lock. If the red push-button is popped up, it’s unlocked.

Additional features saddle and lo-side truck box features include ARMOR Tuf powder coating for durability, weather stripping for a tight seal, and multiple attachment points for straps. The boxes also include more than 60 product models for full, compact, and low-profile trucks.
Meanwhile, the four new headache racks are designed to protect cab occupants from injury if sudden shifting of loads in the cargo area happens. A built-in accessory channel allows easy mounting of light brackets, and attachment points or cargo stops are available as desired.
The new headache racks are available in four styles, including a Half Bar, Hex, Louvered and Open Frame. All styles are easy to install on full size pickup makes and models, and they’re compatible with a variety of truck boxes, including saddle boxes, low-sides and gull-wings. The new headache racks are also height adjustable, allowing roof height or taller settings for transporting materials as needed.
