About the Product

The rigidek provides a “boot” or secure luggage compartment to any LDV or bakkie and provide its users with a way to keep their valuables secure, protected form the environment and hidden from view. With escalating levels of crime worldwide, both business-and leisure-users are increasingly insisting on a secure luggage compartment on their LDV's. (Hence the introduction of the so-called Super- or Club-cab with lockable container inside the cab.)

The rigidek is made from durable Ultra-Violet stabilized ABS and as this is the standard material used by all manufacturers of motor vehicles for exterior as well as interior plastic components such as bumpers, wheel arches etc. its reliability is well proven.

A further benefit of using ABS is the fact that one complete rigidek can be formed from our tooling every five minutes, allowing an unprecedented increase in productivity. In comparison the traditional fiberglass-type of manufacturing only one part can be made off one mould every six hours!

Another unique feature of the rigidek is a “NO DRILL” installation. We make use of holes pre-drilled in the load-bin by the manufacturers of LDV's as well as a patented system of “clamps” to secure the rigidek to the vehicle. This eliminates the risk of rust forming and also allows for easy fitment and removal and has no effect on the vehicles paint warranty.

The rigidek is supported by a system of powder-coated stainless steel and mild steel brackets. The brackets are “clamped” to the load-bin and roll-bars of the vehicle and a 3mm rubber-layer insulates it from the paintwork.

A system of custom designed RIM molded polyurethane rubber, seals the rigidek to the roll-bars of the vehicle.

If the user needs to transport larger than normal loads the rigidek can be locked securely in the open position and safely driven, another world first. The other option would be to remove either one or both sections that make up the rigidek and store it against any suitable wall with the wall-mounts provided.
