Pickup toppers are a useful accessory that utilizes the space of your pickup in a more efficient and effective way. Fiberglass-pickup toppers, aluminum-pickup toppers and canvas-pickup toppers are available for your make and model of pickup. The different types of pickup toppers with their features are mentioned below:
- Softopper or Canvas-pickup toppers: With a Softopper you can have the best of both worlds. One person can retract or close the cap in about a minute, so you can have a fulltime cap or a cap on fulltime standby. The entire unit weighs between 34 - 49 lbs ( depending on model), so it is easily handled by anyone.
- Fiberglass-pickup toppers: Much more rigid that the softoppers, these type of pickup toppers are ideal for installing shelves inside the topper. These are also much more secure than the softoppers.
- Aluminum-pickup toppers: These type of pickup toppers are generally used as commercial pickup toppers. Ambulances, utility service providers and security agencies prefer such kinds of pickup toppers. Aluminum pickup toppers are also used by households for long camping trips as these provide more security than any other pickup topper.
