Lomax Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover – Load Bearing 110 Series
Our 110 Series represents the pinnacle of load bearing tonneau cover engineering. This hard tri-fold design uses aircraft-grade aluminum panels with reinforced internal framework to support evenly distributed loads while maintaining the low-profile aesthetic that defines the Lomax brand.
Unlike soft covers or lightweight alternatives, the 110 is built for truck owners who need both security and utility. The tri-fold configuration provides complete bed access in seconds, while the powder-coated finish resists UV damage, scratches, and harsh weather. We designed every hinge point and latch mechanism to withstand years of daily use.
Whether you're a contractor carrying tools, an outdoor enthusiast hauling gear, or simply need a tonneau that won't sag under snow loads, the 110 Series delivers professional-grade protection without compromising your truck's capability. Installation requires no drilling and integrates seamlessly with most bed rail systems.
Engineered load capacity & construction
Load Bearing Engineering & Panel Construction
The 110 Series achieves its load bearing performance through a combination of material selection and structural design. We use .040-inch aircraft-grade aluminum for the panels—thick enough to resist flex under load, yet light enough to fold and remove easily.
Each panel features an internal honeycomb bracing system that distributes weight across the entire surface rather than concentrating stress at hinge points. This framework prevents the sagging and deformation common in thinner covers. The powder-coated finish isn’t just cosmetic—it adds a layer of impact resistance that protects against scratches from cargo and road debris.
Tri-Fold Access & Daily Functionality
We chose the tri-fold configuration for the 110 because it offers the best balance of strength and accessibility. The three-panel design means you can open just the rear section for quick access to tailgate cargo, fold back two panels for mid-bed access, or fold all three panels completely forward against the cab for full bed use.
Each fold locks securely with our proprietary latch system—no bungee cords or flimsy straps required. When closed, automatic latches engage at the tailgate, creating a weather-tight seal that keeps moisture, dust, and prying hands out of your bed. The entire cover can be removed in under a minute when you need maximum bed height for tall cargo.
Weather Protection & Bed Sealing
The 110’s weather sealing system uses a dual-layer approach. EPDM rubber seals run along every panel edge, compressing against the bed rails when latched to create a primary moisture barrier. Behind this, we’ve engineered integrated drainage channels within the panel framework that route any water infiltration toward the tailgate drain holes.
This system handles everything from highway rain at speed to heavy snow accumulation. The powder-coated aluminum surface sheds water naturally, while the low-profile design minimizes wind uplift that can compromise seals on competitor covers. In independent testing, the 110 maintained a dry bed interior through simulated car wash conditions and sustained rainfall.

Common Questions About the Lomax 110 Load Bearing Tonneau
The 110 uses aircraft-grade aluminum panels with internal honeycomb bracing that distributes weight across the entire surface area. This structural engineering allows the cover to support evenly distributed loads like snow accumulation or light equipment spread across the bed without sagging or deforming.
It's important to note that load bearing capacity refers to distributed weight, not concentrated point loads. The cover is not designed as a work platform or to support weight focused in a single area.
The tri-fold configuration actually enhances security compared to roll-up or snap covers. Each panel is rigid aluminum that resists cutting and prying. When closed, our automatic latch system engages at the tailgate with lockable latches, creating a solid barrier that can't be unzipped or easily compromised.
The hard panel construction means would-be thieves can't simply slash through the cover to access your cargo. Combined with the flush-mount design, the 110 provides excellent theft deterrence for tools, equipment, and valuables stored in your truck bed.
Yes, the 110's clamp-on mounting system includes adjustable hardware that accommodates the additional thickness of spray-in bedliners. The clamps feature rubber-coated contact points that grip securely without damaging the liner finish.
We've tested compatibility with all major spray-in liner brands including Line-X, Rhino Linings, and Bullet Liner. The mounting system maintains proper seal compression and structural integrity regardless of liner thickness variations.
The 110 is designed for DIY installation and requires no drilling or permanent modifications to your truck. Most owners complete installation in 20-30 minutes using basic hand tools—typically just a socket set and screwdriver.
Our detailed installation guide walks through each step with diagrams and torque specifications. The clamp-on system means you can adjust fitment as you go to ensure perfect alignment. If you prefer professional installation, most truck accessory shops can install it in under an hour.
The aluminum construction handles temperature extremes better than vinyl or fiberglass alternatives. The panels won't crack in sub-zero temperatures or warp in extreme heat. The powder-coated finish resists UV degradation, so the cover maintains its appearance and structural properties year after year.
The EPDM weather seals remain flexible across a wide temperature range, maintaining their sealing effectiveness from -40°F to 140°F. Integrated drainage channels route any moisture infiltration out through the tailgate, keeping your bed dry in heavy rain or snow melt conditions.
We offer a lifetime warranty on the frame structure, aluminum panels, and hinge mechanisms against defects in materials and workmanship. This covers structural integrity, panel flatness, and functional operation for as long as you own your truck.
The powder-coated finish carries a 3-year warranty against fading, peeling, or corrosion under normal use. Moving components like latches and seals have a 3-year warranty as well. The warranty is transferable if you sell your truck, adding to resale value.
The low-profile design actually improves aerodynamics compared to driving with an open bed. The cover sits flush with the bed rails and smooths airflow over the truck bed, reducing drag at highway speeds.
Many owners report fuel economy improvements of 0.5 to 1.5 MPG depending on driving conditions and truck model. The aerodynamic benefit is most noticeable during highway driving where wind resistance is the primary factor in fuel consumption.
