Electric Tonneau
Cover
Options:
1 Actuator placed in the middle behind the Cab
2. Two Actuators placed on either side to replace your gas
shocks
Get the awesome custom look you have seen in all your
classic/sport truck magazines. Electric Tonneau cover have been
a customization secret for many years. With electric linear
actuators you can have the same look many of the top rides
possess with out the fabrication headaches. Don't be left out!
Firgelli Automations Electric Linear Actuators with Mounting
Brackets make installation simple and universal, so it can work
for most models of cars and trucks. Firgelli Automations is not
responsible for damage to your hood or vehicle by improper
installation. Professional installation recommended. May require
minor cutting or welding.
To decide on the stroke you need for the cover we suggest you
measure in your vehicle the open and closed positions of where
you will attach the actuator/s. The difference in that dimension
will tell you the stroke of actuator that you need. Secondly you
need to work out what force you need from the actuator, to do
that try to open and close the cover by hand at the point where
you will be attaching the Actuator/s. This will tell you if the
force is under 100lbs or over. Then choose the force actuator
based on this. Our force options can be seen on the left
navigation bar called "Low force, Standard force, Standard
speed, and high force"
If you are using 1 actuator on one side, you may also need to
use a gas shock on the other side to equalize the force, or add
2 actuators, (1 on each side). Deciding on weather you need 1 or
2 actuators will depend on how flimsy your hood is
Here is what you need to order for this project:
- One linear actuator, or 2 depending on how flimsy your
cover is, use instructions above to work out what you need
- Mounting brackets, one on each end, these brackets
allow the actuators to rotate around the bracket, which is
what you need.
- Manual rocker switch for a dash mounted switch
- Or remote control
- LR12V Relay if you want to operate the hood by pressing
the remote button once
