Review: Probably the Best Cargo Stabilizer Bar on the Market - This is a true Heavy Duty Cargo Stabilizer Bar and it's all metal except for the rubber pads which are molded completely around metal supports. Each pad rotates freely on a pivot bolt. The rack (geared horizontal section) is also heavy duty metal with its terminus firmly thru-bolted to the inner tube. The small silver "lever" located on the side of the housing holding the geared handle is basically a spring-loaded "catch" to prevent the handle from moving once secured. The inner tube appears to be coated with some type of translucent gold colored coating, possibly to make it resistant to corrosion. The outer tube and rack are painted black and while the rack and the handle assembly appear not to be a powder coated finish, it seems to be a good coat. The outer tube appears to be powder coated. Will this damage your truck bed? The shortest width bed this can handle once latched is 59-1/2 inches, so if your bed is narrower than this then the answer to your question is definitely yes. The force this unit can apply if one isn't paying attention and just applying brute force is sufficient to possibly force the sides outward. Once a tooth is selected the inner tube will travel 1-1/8 inches outward during the full-engagement/lever catch process. So divide this by 2, and thus the deflection toward each side wall is 9/16 inches. Each "tooth" you move the inner bar inward results in a minus 1/4 inch total length. So, if your bed width is 64 inches and you extend the bar to 64 inches and close the handle the final length installed will be 65-1/8 inches. Move the inner bar inward to catch the next tooth reduces that engaged total length to 64-7/8 inches, and so on. So you can adjust how much tension you put on your bed sidewalls. My suggestion is have someone assist the first time this bar is used. Place it in one of the desired locations in the bed and install it with the amount of tension to firmly secure the bar. Then while it is installed, measure 1-1/8 inches away from the end of the floating portion of the toothed rack (the part that floats above the outer tube) and use colored vinyl electrical tape to place one wrap around the outer tube such that the edge of the tape is aligned with the aforementioned measurement. To check proper placement of the tape, release the handle and slowly swing it open, and as the bar shortens the end of the rack should line up with that tape's edge. If not, try again. For subsequent uses, just slide out the inner tube until the end of the rack aligns with the tape's edge and close the handle. You can repeat this process for multiple fit locations. Due to its weight, it is a bit awkward for one person to install, however it can be done and the trick is to find its balance point with length about where it's needed, lift it into place and secure handle. Review: Heavy duty, works well - Works well and heavy duty. I think this will hold unlike the last truck bed bar I purchased from another vendor with cutouts in the bar itself. I use it all the time to keep stuff from sliding around in the bed. I even tried using it on a ton of pellets with no success but it didn’t break. As noted above because it is heavy duty it is a little heavy, which isn’t a bad thing. ## Features - Fits full size pickup trucks (expandable from 59" to 73") - Simple, commercial-grade solution - These truck bed bars to stop sliding provide reliable containment for your loose cargo - Heavy-duty adjustable system - Ratcheting cargo bar for pickup truck bed adjusts easily with professional-grade mechanism - Built for tough loads - This truck bed bar is constructed strong enough to handle heavy-duty cargo stabilization - Non-slip protection - Rubber feet prevent slippage and scratching of truck beds while keeping your adjustable ratcheting cargo bar securely in place ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FOUB8M | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #32,226 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #52 in Cargo Bars | | Brand | Heininger | | Brand Name | Heininger | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Truck | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,053 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00661588040163 | | Included Components | Cargo Bar | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 59 x 5 x 5 inches | | Item Type Name | Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks | | Item Weight | 10 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 59 x 5 x 5 inches | | Load Capacity | 6.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Heininger | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4016 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year limited | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 4016 | | Mounting Type | Power Grip | | UPC | 661588040163 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Truck | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Heininger - **Color:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00661588040163 - **Is Foldable:** No - **Item Weight:** 10 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 59 x 5 x 5 inches - **Load Capacity:** 6.6 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Mounting Type:** Power Grip - **Vehicle Service Type:** Truck ## Images ![Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WqShMnELL.jpg) ![Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks,Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dImMIEDdL.jpg) ![Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks,Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iir7rOSmL.jpg) ![Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks,Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714K3u5r3yL.jpg) ![Heininger 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar for Full-Size Trucks,Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zbYql2wRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Silly question - with all that leverage, how do you know when it's tight enough, but not so tight that it will warp the pickup box?** A: It's kind of hit and miss. I adjust mine so that it depresses the box wall slightly and can't be pulled out of place. If it moves when I pull it, I tighten it one notch. When you can't pull it free, take a sharpee pen and mark the extended side so it can be indexed when you have to remove and replace it. **Q: What is the shipping method (ups, fedex, or usps)?** A: UPS **Q: Does it rust? I leave one in my truck and my previous one rusted and I am willing to pay more for a better quality cargo bar.** A: I've had mine in the back of my truck for two years now and I live by the ocean. There's a small amount of rust but only where things have scratched it. Still looks and works great! **Q: Will this hold well with a bed liner?** A: If it's a spray in liner it would hold great. A drop in maybe not so well because it uses tension against the bedsides. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the Best Cargo Stabilizer Bar on the Market *by O***. on December 16, 2016* This is a true Heavy Duty Cargo Stabilizer Bar and it's all metal except for the rubber pads which are molded completely around metal supports.
