Vehicle Guide
Loadhandler® units have adjustable brackets that belt onto the tops of tailgates and it is the width of the tailgate that is important in determining which Loadhandler® models will fit your Bakkie/LDV. Bed length and type of cab are not important in determining which model to purchase, however other important factors including the weight and frequency of the loads, as well as expected material types e.g. building rubble v grass cuttings should be taken into account.
Below is a generalized chart which can be used to help determine which Loadhandler® is best suited to your needs.

| Roller bar length | 150 cm | 150 cm |
| Tailgate width guideline | 130 – 160 cm | 120 – 160 cm |
| Drag sheet width | 105 cm | 105 cm |
| Drag sheet length | 450 cm | 450 cm |
| Recommended max. payload | 1,300 kg (3000 lb) | 1,000 kg (2200 lb) |

It is recommended that the tailgate width is measured prior to deciding on the choice of Loadhandler® and decide which unit is required based on the planned workload. The dragsheet can be trimmed to suit individual vehicle requirements and can be replaced if damaged.
Due to the low numbers of local vehicles that meet the size requirements of the full size units, they are not currently held in stock. For a larger vehicle with a tailgate up to 180cm wide please contact us for further details.
