A Commercial Truck Cap with Style and Utility
Snugtop, the brand synonymous to many with “truck cap”. Leave it to this nearly-50-year innovator to come up with the SNUGpro, a commercial truck cap that is durable and rugged yet can stand proudly alongside the company’s stylish best-selling non-commercial caps for which they’re widely known.
“We have looked at commercial applications for our truck caps for some time,” says Hartmut Schroeder, President of Snugtop. “But we’ve always blazed a trail and followed a new direction, and didn’t want to release a product until we had something really exceptional.”
In this mission they have certainly succeeded. The breakthroughs begin with unique recessed fiberglass side doors that nearly disappear into the cap when closed, a “first” not found on any other commercial cap currently being marketed. And for good reason: prior to the SNUGpro, the technology did not exist for such a tight recess in a fiberglass product; and in fact conventional fiberglass-manufacturing wisdom dictated that it couldn’t be done at all. Hence, as with many of its innovations, the company had to evolve it themselves.
The recessed doors also sport subtle but maximum-security folding T-handles with 3-way secure locking, also recessed.
Schroeder says that the company perceived that contractors and other professionals using commercial caps didn’t necessarily want their trucks to appear as utility vehicles at all times. On the other hand, a truck used for a business is a calling card, an advertisement for that business. “Combining these elements, we were inspired to take a work application and make it look sleek and classy,” he says.
The style certainly doesn’t stop with the doors. The cap is designed to seamlessly blend with the contours, lines, and exact color of the truck on which it’s mounted. The SNUGpro is available for most current truck models, and in several different styles: The “Cab-Hi” is aligned perfectly with the roof of the cab, the “Hi-Liner” rises gracefully above the cab roof and offers extra space, and the “Xtra Vision” model offers an all-glass tailgate door.
Incorporating another innovation, the new truck cap is invisibly mounted, blending perfectly with its host vehicle.
But while style is the visual mission, the company certainly remembered its functional use; the SNUGpro is reinforced to carry a much heavier load than would normally be expected from a fiberglass cap. It offers 100 pounds of cargo support in each of the toolboxes, and the optional “Rack-It” roof rack is rated for 300 pounds if the load is evenly distributed and properly secured.
There are also plenty of options available to accommodate the many needs of the professional. These include several front window options, the SNUGrug headliner, and the addition of two 12-volt lights in each toolbox. Toolboxes are available in a wide variety of shelving setups. There are also several tailgate options: double T-handles, the exclusive Snugtop flush handle and the new folding T-handle.
An LED taillight and 2-volt interior light at the tailgate end of the cap are installed as standard features. Truck factory colors are exactly matched using the DuPont ChromaPremier basecoate/clearcoat system.
The company firmly stands behind the SNUGpro with a 5-year warranty on both structure and paint.
Snugtop is no stranger to innovation. Nearly 50 years in business, the company was the first to manufacture truck caps for mini trucks, invented the cab-hi design which pioneered today’s standard across the industry, and set the bar for high style in a truck cap with the introduction of their TopGun cap in 1995. And the trend setting now continues with the new commercial cap.
“We’ve once again set ourselves apart from other manufacturers. I think we have struck a great balance: a very appealing look in a very rugged commercial cap,” Schroeder concludes.
