The HSP Roll R Cover is a premium electric roller shutter designed specifically for utility vehicles, manufactured entirely in Australia. This retractable ute cover features interlocking aluminum slats forming a secure curtain that provides protection for cargo while maintaining full access to the vehicle’s tub area when needed. The design incorporates heavy duty aluminum construction with a Mannix black premium finish for durability and esthetic appeal.
Unlike conventional covers, the HSP Roll R Cover offers versatile operation through five distinct control methods. Users can operate the cover via the vehicle’s factory remote, a touchpad integrated into the side rails, a dedicated smartphone application, voice commands through SIRI (for Apple users), or through the vehicle’s interior lock and unlock buttons. This multi modal operation system enhances convenience for various user preferences and situations.
Key design features of the HSP Roll R Cover
Engineered with meticulous precision, the HSP Roll R Cover is distinguished by its advanced profile and superior functionality. The cover incorporates ultra slim, contoured side rails that set it apart from competing products by utilising a flat profile rail, as opposed to conventional boxed designs. This approach enables comprehensive contour cutting of the side rails during manufacturing, ensuring the edges are precisely tailored to the unique specifications of each vehicle tub. As a result, the side rails are positioned lower and achieve an integrated, seamless fit with the vehicle’s overall aesthetic.
- Industry’s smallest fully retractable canister
Housing the motor discreetly within a uniform casing. Unlike standard roll tops that typically leave 10-15 cm of curtain permanently exposed, the curtain on this model retracts completely into the canister. This design maximises tub space and simplifies loading and unloading cargo. - Constructed from heavy duty aluminum
The Roll R Cover offers durability without excessive weight. The curtain consists of interlocking aluminum slats forming a secure barrier that prevents cutting attempts with knives. The entire unit features a premium Mannix black finish that enhances both appearance and durability. - Horizon LED Light Bar
This full width LED light integrates flush with the canister and spans over one meter in length, providing ample illumination for night time activities. Through the HSP smartphone application, users can adjust LED settings including light intensity and automatic timing. - Factory sports bars or sailplanes
Through dedicated pre mapped insertion points on the slim side rails. This thoughtful integration ensures that sports bars maintain their original height without extending above the roofline. The side rails simultaneously function as mounting points for accessories through a full length channel built into their structure.
HSP maintains manufacturing quality via ISO9001. The electrical system features 12v vehicle power and a secure 220 rolling code transmitter. Made in Country Victoria, Australia, the HSP Roll R Cover is notable for its space efficiency, security, versatility, and seamless integration with utility vehicles.
How the HSP Roll R Cover operates
The HSP Roll R Cover functions through multiple operation methods, offering flexibility for accessing the ute tub area. This electric roller shutter provides five distinct ways to control its movement, enabling users to select their preferred method according to specific circumstances.
Factory remote control
The HSP roller shutter integrates directly with the vehicle’s existing factory remote system. Users can operate the cover by simply double tapping the lock or unlock button on their factory vehicle remote. This function activates the open, close, and pause commands for the roller cover. The integration works through a smart receiver that connects directly to the vehicle’s computer system, thereby enabling compatibility with all factory and spare remotes. This method allows for convenient operation from a distance without requiring additional remote controls.
Touchpad on side rails
Built into the side rails is an illuminated smart touchpad that serves as another control method for the roller cover. This touchpad allows users to open, close, and pause the unit through a simple tap motion. For enhanced security, the touchpad system only functions when the vehicle is unlocked. The touchpad can be custom programmed with a timed shutoff feature for additional security. This discreet control method maintains the sleek esthetic of the side rails without compromising functionality.
Smartphone and voice control
The HSP4x4 mobile application extends control capabilities to both iPhone and Android devices. Through this application, users can remotely operate the cover to open, close, and pause its movement. The app likewise enables control of the integrated LED light system. Furthermore, users can customise settings for light intensity, touchpad activation timers, and various operational preferences.
Apple users can control the system hands-free with SIRI voice commands, personalised through the HSP app. These commands work across Apple devices like AirPods, EarPods, and Apple Watch, allowing users to customise prompts such as “Hey Siri, Open Mitch’s Roll R Cover”.
The HSP Roll R Cover’s multiple operation methods ensure accessibility across various situations, offering convenience regardless of whether users are approaching their vehicle, sitting in the driver’s seat, or need hands free operation.
Security and safety features
Security is a fundamental aspect of the HSP roller shutter design, which integrates both electronic and physical protective measures. The system adopts a holistic security strategy by combining several features that seamlessly interface with the vehicle’s existing security framework.
The electronic security architecture includes a smart touchpad that is only operational when the vehicle is unlocked and automatically deactivated after a set duration. This functionality extends to the main operating system, which synchronises directly with the factory remote and leverages the vehicle’s standard security protocols. The HSP roller shutter utilises a 220 rolling security code to strengthen defense against unauthorised access. For mobile accessibility, the associated smartphone application adds further safeguards through integration with Face ID and passcode authentication on the user’s device.
Physical security elements are equally robust in the HSP Roll R Cover design. Notably, the cover features no external handles, effectively eliminating common break in points. The curtain consists of completely interlocking aluminum slats that create a cut proof barrier, preventing attempts to slice through the material with knives or cutting tools. This combination of physical barriers makes the HSP roller shutter among the most secure roll tops available on the market.
For vehicle owners seeking enhanced protection, the HSP Tail Lock serves as an optional security upgrade. This central locking system provides an additional safeguard for the tailgate by seamlessly integrating with the vehicle’s factory remote locking system. The Tail Lock synchronises with the ute’s remote, proximity sensor, and internal vehicle lock buttons. Designed for compatibility with most ute models, this feature prevents tailgate theft while maintaining seamless operation with other HSP accessories.
The entire security system undergoes rigorous testing, with components like the Tail Lock subjected to more than 100,000 operational cycles to ensure long term reliability. Through this multifaceted approach to security, the HSP roller shutter delivers both convenience and robust protection for cargo stored in the vehicle tub, establishing it as a premium security solution for utility vehicles.
Water drainage and weather protection
Superior water management sets the HSP roller shutter apart from conventional truck bed covers through a comprehensive drainage and sealing system. Engineered specifically to handle heavy rainfall conditions, this system ensures cargo remains protected even in adverse weather.
Built in gutter system
The HSP Roll R Cover features a unique external grate system that channels water into a full length gutter built directly into the side rails. This architectural design element represents an industry first, as the HSP roller shutter stands as the only roll top in the market to incorporate such an integrated water management approach. The full length gutter runs along the entire length of both side rails, creating a continuous channel that efficiently directs water toward designated drainage points. This systematic approach to water management prevents pooling on the cover surface, subsequently minimising potential leakage points.
Four drainage points
At strategic locations within the gutter system, the HSP Roll R Cover incorporates four extra large water drainage points. This quad drainage configuration doubles the standard industry practice of two point drainage systems. Together, these elements form a comprehensive six point water flow system capable of processing an impressive 60 litres of water per minute. The oversized drainage points ensure rapid water evacuation even during heavy downpours, thereby maintaining the integrity of the cargo area. This capacity significantly exceeds typical requirements for most climate conditions, providing ample protection margin.
Tri level sealing system
Beyond channeling water away, the HSP roller shutter employs advanced sealing technology to prevent moisture ingress. The curtain structure features dozens of interlocking slats with enclosed rubber seals that effectively block water penetration without compromising security. HSP utilises a multi layered approach including advanced Z seals, interlocking extrusions, and compression seals working in concert to achieve superior weather resistance. Although not claiming complete waterproofing, the manufacturer describes the system as highly weather resistant. This distinction acknowledges that while the cover itself provides excellent protection, small amounts of moisture might still enter through other vehicle components like tailgate gaps.
Installation and vehicle compatibility
Installation of the HSP roller shutter employs a clamp on mechanism with plug and play wiring, creating a straightforward process for qualified technicians. Despite claims of installation taking less than one hour, comprehensive fitting typically requires approximately 3 hours for optimal results. HSP provides detailed documentation featuring step by step instructions supplemented by diagrams and videos to assist throughout the installation process.
