2. Operating Your DECKED System

- Drawer Capacity: Each drawer is designed to hold up to 200 lb.

3. Maintenance
The DECKED system is constructed from recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) co-molded to a galvanized steel sub-frame, ensuring durability against extreme weather elements and intense UV light exposure. New high-pressure injection molding results in tighter tolerances and more durable parts.
To maintain your DECKED system, regularly clean the exterior surfaces with mild soap and water. Ensure drawer seals are free of debris to maintain their weatherproof integrity. The robust materials require minimal maintenance beyond routine cleaning.
4. Troubleshooting and Removal
While the DECKED system is designed for durability and ease of use, understanding how to properly remove and reinstall it can be beneficial for specific needs, such as accessing the truck bed for very large items or for vehicle maintenance.
System Removal and Reinstallation:
After the initial assembly, the DECKED system can be removed or reinstalled in approximately 15 minutes. This process typically requires two individuals due to the size and weight of the components.

When reinstalling, ensure the system is centered in the bed by aligning the center vert with the ribs or troughs on your truck bed floor. Truck beds can frequently be out of square, so using these features as a true reference point is crucial for proper alignment. Only snug down the J-hooks, taking care not to overtighten them.
