Leitner Designs has released a groundbreaking ‘Police Package’ for law enforcement pickup trucks, featuring the industry’s first pursuit-rated modular cargo system capable of withstanding 4.0g forces while carrying a 400-pound load.
Co-developed with the Placentia Police Department, the ACS FORGED system boasts the highest payload capacity in the industry with smart features designed specifically for the demands of law enforcement duty.
Leitner Designs reveals the “Police Package” for law enforcement pickup trucks. Co-developed with the Placentia, California Police Department, the Leitner Designs Police Package is designed to withstand the rigors of law enforcement duty. Engineered and manufactured entirely in the United States, Leitner Designs’ Police Package is the industry’s first pursuit-rated modular cargo system.
Law enforcement pickup trucks are some of the hardest working rigs on the road, subject to extreme conditions and abuse. Police require a bed rack that can more than withstand the severe duty. The Leitner Designs Active Cargo System (ACS) FORGED earns its pursuit-rated moniker through durability, load-carrying capability, and accessorization.
ACS FORGED bed rack is the toughest modular cargo system on the market and the ideal solution for policing. It is capable of withstanding 4.0g of both lateral and longitudinal force. For perspective, a modern police vehicle generates less than 1.0g in emergency braking. ACS FORGED can safely carry up to a 400-lb load at 4.0g and up to an 800-lb load at 1.0g.
Formed from FORGED aluminum, the 85-pound ACS FORGED punches well above its weight. With a 1,400-pound static and 800-pound dynamic load rating, the ACS FORGED boasts the highest payload capacity in the industry. Smart features, like patented and lockable eye-level storage (GearPODS) and sliding rear load bar, enable officers to organize everything they need for quick, secure access on their truck.
“When it comes to police vehicles, we need gear that is going to last. We knew Leitner Designs’ ACS FORGED looked the part, but we didn’t know how it would hold up to the extreme conditions of law enforcement,” said Placentia Police Captain Brian Perry.
“After several months of severe duty, I can confidently say that not only has the ACS FORGED held up, it made police work easier.”
The Police Package includes Active Cargo System (ACS) FORGED bed rack, standard GearPOD, the extra-large GearPOD XL, and HydroPOD that holds 4.8 gallons of pressurized water and the HeadBANGER that prevents in-bed loads from colliding with the rear cab glass.
Thanks to the unique modular design of ACS FORGED, agencies can customize the Police Package to suit their unique requirements from Leitner Designs’ ever-growing line of accessories, including the universal Light Bracket and universal Antenna Bracket. What’s more, thanks to its universal T-slot design, ACS FORGED can accept any number of common law enforcement accessories, like lights, sirens, and antennas, etc.
Leitner Designs’ government, fleet, and municipal customers have found that selecting ACS FORGED over lesser bed racks from the competition saves money over time. That’s because, due to its unparalleled robustness and longevity, ACS FORGED doesn’t need to be repaired or replaced during the life of the vehicle.
ACS FORGED Feature Highlights:
- Patented sliding load bar — Allows users to load large items in the truck bed with a twist of a knob without removing the rack.
- Available integrated GearPODs — Provide locking, waterproof and dust-resistant storage within easy reach. The GearPODs follow vehicle bodylines, reducing wind noise down, and giving the system a seamless look.
- Custom black fasteners — The grade 10.9 fasteners are especially designed and manufactured just for the ACS FORGED. The Black Zi-Ni coating is the toughest on the market and each bolt is precoated with Loctite to prevent loosening under extreme vibration.
