Hard Folding Tonneau Covers at Trademasters
Hard folding covers are the best-selling style of tonneau cover in Canada, and the BAKFlip MX4 leads the pack. These covers use two or three rigid aluminum or composite panels connected by heavy-duty hinges. They fold up toward the cab for full bed access and lie flat for a low-profile look when closed.
What makes them the go-to choice for most truck owners is the balance between security, weather protection, and everyday convenience. A hard folding cover keeps your cargo hidden and protected from rain, snow, and UV — and unlike a soft cover, you can’t cut through it with a knife.

Why Professional Installation Matters
Hard folding covers need the side rails set perfectly flush with the bed caps, the clamps torqued to spec, and the seal checked against the tailgate. If any of those are off, you get water leaks, wind noise, or a cover that won’t latch properly. Our technicians install these daily and get it right in about an hour. We also re-check your cover if you ever notice an issue — just bring the truck by.
