The Heavy-Duty Build
Sleeker build. Heavier duty.
After a sleeker, heavier-duty roller shutter for your Toyota Hilux N90? Meet the Black Edition — our premium electric build, with heavier-gauge, flat-profile side rails that sit cleaner on the tub and run dual T-slot channels each side for more mounting points and easier fitment.
It turns your tub into secure, weather-sealed storage at the press of a button. Black anodised aluminium slats roll back into a slimline, DGL powder-coated black canister, driven by a quiet electric motor with a wireless remote and an in-tub control button — no app, no pairing. A full-length LED strip lights the whole tub, and anti-jam auto-stop protects fingers and cargo.
It's the strongest base in the Akuma system. Cut specifically for the 2025+ Hilux N90 and sitting flush against the factory body lines, it fits under the factory sports bars or straight to the tub. The dual T-slot rails carry 125 kg dynamic on the standard brackets, up to 175 kg with roller support brackets. Talk to our team for a tent-ready build.
Why Black Edition
What makes it the heavy-duty one.
Heavy-Duty Build
Dual T-Slot RailsSleeker rails. Built to carry.
Heavier-gauge, flat-profile side rails with dual T-slot channels each side — so the whole cover sits sleeker on the tub, and racks, cross bars and sports-bar mounts land easier and hold more. 125 kg dynamic on the standard brackets, up to 175 kg braced.
- Heavier-gauge, flat-profile side rails
- Dual T-slot channels each side — more mounting points
- 125 kg dynamic · up to 175 kg with roller support brackets
Remote Control
No App NeededOpen from your pocket.
A wireless remote outside, a control button inside the tub. No mobile app, no Bluetooth pairing dramas — deliberately simple and reliable for everyday use.
- Wireless remote + in-tub control button
- Stops anywhere along the track — no fixed stages
- No app, no pairing — simple and reliable
Safe & Sealed
Anti-Jam Auto-StopSmart enough to stop itself.
The motor stops automatically if an object — or a hand — is in its path, and the electronics sit behind a sealed end cover, protected from water, dust and tampering.
- Anti-jam auto-stop protects fingers and cargo
- Sealed electronics cover keeps water and dust out
- Full-perimeter EPDM seal with drained side channels
Lit & Loaded
Full-Length LEDThe whole tub, lit.
An integrated LED strip runs the full length of the tub — one of the longest fitted to any roller cover — so you're loading by light, not by phone torch.
- Runs the length of the tub — not a single puck light
- One of the longest LED strips on the market
- Find gear at night without a head torch

Straight Answers
Questions
we get asked.
What customers actually ask before they buy — fitment, electric operation, install, warranty. Honest answers, no fluff.
Heavy-Duty / Black Edition
What makes the Black Edition the heavy-duty version?
The side rails. The Black Edition runs heavier-gauge, flat-profile side rails with dual T-slot channels each side — so the cover sits sleeker on the tub, racks and sports-bar mounts fit easier and lock in more places, and the load rating lifts to 125 kg dynamic, up to 175 kg with roller support brackets. Same simple electric drive — wireless remote, in-tub button, no app.
Fitment
Will this fit my exact ute and trim?
This shutter is cut specifically for your ute model. Trim matters though — Hilux Rogue isn't SR5, Wildtrak isn't XLT. Send us your make, model, year, and trim, and a photo of the tub from the back if you can. We'll confirm the right bracket combination before you commit.
What if my ute already has a factory tonneau?
We don't recommend replacing a factory tonneau (e.g. Hilux Rogue EGR, BT-50 SP MT-EVO). Factory units are matched to the ute's body lines and resale value. If you've got one and want more capability, look at our tub rack platform or cross-bars instead.
Electric Operation
Do I need a mobile app to operate it?
No — and that's deliberate. You get a wireless remote for access from outside the vehicle and a control button inside the tub. No app, no Bluetooth pairing, no software updates. Simple and reliable for everyday use.
What happens if something is in the way when it closes?
The anti-jam safety system automatically stops the shutter if an object — or a hand — is detected in its path. It protects your cargo, your fingers and the motor.
Are the electronics protected from water and dust?
Yes. All internal electronics sit behind a sealed end cover that protects them from water, dust and tampering, on top of the full-perimeter EPDM seal and drainage hoses that protect the tub itself.
Use & Load
How much can it carry on top?
125 kg dynamic on the standard brackets — plenty for awnings, recovery gear and everyday loads while you're driving. Going heavier, like a rooftop tent? Add our roller support brackets to lift the rating to 175 kg dynamic. Talk to our team and we'll spec the right setup for what you're carrying.
Can I stop it partly open for tall loads?
Yes — better than a manual. The electric drive holds the shutter at any point along the track, not just fixed stages. Carry jerry cans or gas bottles with the shutter exactly where you want it.
Install, Warranty & Shipping
Can I install it myself, or do you fit it?
The kit ships with full instructions, brackets, hardware and drainage hoses. Fitting does involve some drilling — drainage outlets for the seals, and on some utes the brackets fix to the tub lip where there are no factory mounting points — plus connecting the shutter to vehicle power. If you're not comfortable wiring 12V accessories, book the Brisbane workshop fit at $599. Lead time normally within a week for in-stock parts.
What does the warranty cover?
24 months structural — slats, canister, mechanism, motor, brackets. Covers manufacturing and material defects under normal use. Doesn't cover damage from impact, modification, or unauthorised disassembly. Warranty claims go through your order details by email or phone.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Local Brisbane pickup is free. AU-wide freight goes to your nearest transport depot for collection — door delivery available at extra cost. See the full shipping policy for state-by-state estimates.
