Multi-location manufacturing makes TAG uniquely able to fabricate custom-order products, and deliver them more quickly and with more convenience than ever before.

On display at this year's NTEA Work Truck Show are:

SnugTop SnugPro
Displayed on a Ford F-150, the SnugPro features segment-leading design, starting with the unique recessed fiberglass side doors and hardware that is as sleek and sophisticated as it is durable and functional. This new heavy-duty line of fiberglass caps offers optimum worksite efficiency. 

LEER DCC
The LEER DCC cap, exhibited on a Chevrolet Silverado, is built with strong, lightweight TIG-welded aluminum frames and tough .035 aluminum exteriors, making it one of the most durable work caps on the market. The DCC cap comes in three configurations: 1) a cab-high model matching the height of the truck's cab; 2) a wedge, offering additional capacity ranging from 20" to a full 36"; 3) a hi-rise version with 30" and 36" capacity to accommodate large loads (on display in TAG's NTEA booth #319).

Pace Edwards Retractable Utility Bed Cover
The Retractable Utility Bed Cover (RUBC), installed on a Reading truck body, is a workhorse in the service industry. Available in both manual and electric-powered models, the RUBC is a lightweight, hard tonneau delivering secure, convenient storage for tools and a wide variety of equipment. To maximize access to the truck bed, the cover retracts into a front canister. The cover fits most 8-foot and 9-foot pickup models, with longer lengths available.

Pace Edwards Vertical Door System
The innovative Vertical Door System is a roll-up cargo door option for fleet managers, commercial truck up-fitters and truck body manufacturers. The door is powered by an electric motor, making access to cargo areas safer with hands-free operation.

"No one else in the industry can offer the experience, breadth of product and depth of service TAG can," said Dennis Bowe, senior director of fleet sales, TAG Fleet. "By combining the commercial businesses of the LEER Fleet, SnugTop and Pace Edwards brands, we've created an organization uniquely suited to meet the varied needs of fleet managers throughout the country."

TAG complements its extensive lines of fleet caps and covers with premium accessories. The slide-out BEDSLIDE storage platform comes in three models, including the Heavy Duty BEDSLIDE capable of handling up to 2,000 pounds of equipment. The BEDSLIDE's poly-coated deck won't absorb oils or fluids and is fully adjustable. TAG also offers the DECKED floor-mounted system with pull-out drawers for organizing tools and equipment.
