DELTA’S NEW LIMITED EDITION CROSSOVER SERIES OFFERS STYLISH DESIGN FOR TODAY’S TRUCKS

SPARKS, Md. — Stylish curves meet rugged reinforcement with the new Delta® PRO™ Limited Edition Crossover from Delta Consolidated Industries. A unique lid design complements the rounded styles of the next generation of trucks without compromising Delta’s reputation for superior performance, security and durability.

A leader in tool storage products for trucks and job sites, Delta has set the standards in truck box styling over the last 20 years. Trendsetting began when Delta supported the aesthetic benefits and greater corrosion resistance of aluminum over steel. Today aluminum boxes dominate the industry. Delta also introduced the first beveled edge lid design in 1991, which has since become the industry standard.

Delta recently completed two phases of extensive research across the country and discovered an immediate need to adapt truck box styling to the quickly changing design trends in truck bodies.

“Truck styles have developed at an inconsistent pace over the last 15 years, but now automakers are focused on introducing fresh designs much more frequently,” said Sam Samsel, director of product development at Delta. “This reflects a renewed emphasis on changing aesthetics, and accessory manufacturers need to keep their product designs current too.”

Research indicated that trucks have evolved from using sharp-edged styling to softer, complex curves. New design concepts call for an increase in dual-material, two-toned styling and boast an image of overall muscular bulk. Despite the evolving truck designs, truck box styles have undergone minimal changes – until now.

“The Delta® PRO™ Limited Edition Crossover series marks a dramatic change, from boxes with traditional, square lid edges, to stylish, curved lid edges that complement those of the new trucks with universal compatibility,” Samsel continued. “With these boxes customers can get the pleasing aesthetics they want while keeping the exceptional security features they need.”

To ensure that the lid is always tightly secured each Limited Edition aluminum crossover includes Delta’s Gear-Lock™ – a self-adjusting, dual rotary locking system. Tested to resist more than 1,000 pounds of pulling and prying force, Gear-Lock™ provides the greatest security and dependability of any locking system in the industry.

Self-aligning latch pins pivot from side to side to engage the Gear-Lock™ system, securing the lid tightly every time. A reinforced, high-strength body and full-width lock console resists cargo damage and protects the locking system. Gear-Lock™ also creates a tight seal, acting as a superior barrier to moisture and dust.

The new crossovers even dispel the myth that curves compromise strength. Delta’s 3-layer laminated Rigid Structural Lid™ comes on all Limited Edition crossovers, to provide superior reinforcement and security.

The Limited Edition crossovers offer the same convenient features as all Delta aluminum crossovers, including adjustable gas spring lid lifts, end-mounted push buttons and ample storage space. Sizes include Standard Single Lid, Mid-Size Single Lid, Deep Single Lid and Gull Wing versions. Colors include bright aluminum and black.
