Co-developed with the Placentia, California Police Department, Leitner Designs has revealed its “Police Package” for law enforcement pickup trucks. 

“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.”

Heavy Lifting

The Leitner Designs Active Cargo System (ACS) FORGED is a modular cargo system capable of withstanding 4.0g of lateral and longitudinal force. It can safely carry up to a 400-lb load at 4.0g and up to 800 at 1.0g. 

The cargo system is formed from FORGED aluminum, with a 1,400-lb static and 800-lb dynamic load rating. It also features smart options, including patented and lockable eye-level storage (GearPODS) and a sliding rear load bar. 

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, which prevents in-bed loads from colliding with the rear cab glass.

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 and giving the system a seamless look. 

• Custom black fasteners — The grade 10.9 fasteners are specially 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. ACS FORGED
