From a road trip to transporting goods, ensuring you pack your bakkie and Beekman Super Canopy correctly is vital to ensure the safety of your goods and your vehicle! Thanks to modern bakkies, and Beekman’s wide range of versatile canopies, packing your bakkie has become so much easier!
It’s All About the Weight
Never exceed your bakkie’s capacity with the combined weight of the driver, passengers, and cargo. Space does not always need to be filled, and an overloaded load box or canopy can make it difficult to stay in control of your bakkie. Check your owner manual for details.
Use a Canopy
Beekman Super Canopy’s wide range of canopies will not only protect your cargo but give you extra space without having to fear that objects will fly off and go missing. Your approved Beekman Fitment Centre will ensure the canopy is fitted perfectly and ready for packing.
Use the Tech
Modern-day bakkies are equipped with tech to help you see better and drive more confidently – use them! Some include Adaptive Load Control, Hill Descent, rear cameras, and more.
Protect Your Load
Your Beekman Super Canopy will already assist in keeping your load protected, but if your bakkie isn’t full or if you have objects that you want to be protected from each other, use clingwrap. It’s an affordable way to give your cargo even more protection.
Use Netting
If you aren’t using your canopy to transport goods and have a smaller load, make use of netting. Secure the smaller items with nylon or polyester fibre cargo nets. These nets are light and can easily be stored away when not used.
Distribute Load Evenly
When your weight is uneven, it can be very difficult to steer. Keep the heaviest loads as far forward and low as you can. Keeping your load forward will also prevent the front of your bakkie from becoming light and will assist with staying in control of your bakkie.
Lastly, when it comes to packing your canopy, your load is only secure when items can’t slide, fall onto the road, or thrown into the air.
