TRUCKBOSS TRUCK DECKS - NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
TRUCKBOSS is designed to provide safe, convenient, and solid transport platform for power-sport vehicles. TRUCKBOSS attaches to your truck box rails using systems similar to the attachment of toolboxes, cargo racks and other weight-bearing accessories. Your truck box rails have been designed for this purpose.
Handling characteristics of your vehicle may be affected when operating near your vehicle’s maximum payload. Be aware that a TRUCKBOSS Truck Deck loaded with power-sport vehicles will raise your vehicle’s center-of-gravity; necessitating care during cornering, braking, and emergency maneuvers. Accelerated wear may occur to vehicle components if precautions are not observed when operating a vehicle at or near its maximum payload. TRUCKBOSS will provide years of service under Normal Operating Conditions.
