- What are the main features and benefits of the R·O·M Cargo Cover?
-
- Safety in preventing equipment and hose from flying off a moving vehicle.
- Security to prevent theft, protect from the elements, and fireproof the bed cover.
- Efficiency for easy access to the compartment during emergency operations.
- Isn’t it cheaper to use a tarp?
- The initial price of a tarp may be less, but the long-term operating cost is greater than for an R·O·M Cargo Cover. Tarps require constant maintenance, they use inefficient, unreliable tie-downs, and they wear out and have to be replaced. With proper care and maintenance, your Cargo Cover can last the life of your vehicle.
- Will the Cargo Cover fit my bed specs?
- Each R·O·M Cargo Cover is custom-made to your exact specs. We can manufacture a door up to 226” long and 76” wide. Wider doors can be made if the roll-up door is not required to make a vertical turn; contact us for further details.
- Will my compartment be water resistant?
- Yes. Our roll-up door will reduce the introduction of water and other elements into the compartment, but it is not completely waterproof.
- Is a Door Ajar System available?
- Yes, the innovative R·O·M Door Ajar System prevents accidental loss of equipment and theft. This comes standard on R·O·M’s Power Cargo Cover (Door Ajar Circuitry provided).
