The SEMA Show is all about vehicle accessories. Specialized truck accessory manufactures takes up a large margin of the show’s participating vendors. The majority of this gear is not exactly purpose built or performance oriented for off-road recreation. Much of it, in fact has to do with every day vehicle equipment and upgrades. It is big business, and one of the big brand names in truck bed products is LTA Manufacturing. With an extensive catalog of premium products, you might recognize some of their brand subsidiaries such as Loadmaster Bed Systems, ATC Truck Covers, Ranch Fiberglass, Mountain Top, and Jason Caps.
We talked with Matt Blais who highlighted a few of the products on display in their SEMA booth.

LTA Manufacturing owns more than 25 years of experience producing top quality accessories and it really showed when seeing a sample of the product lineup. From my perspective, it seemed as if they had listened to the customers fundamental wants and demands and implemented these features whenever and wherever possible. If it is not built in as standard, it is an optional upgrade. The fit and finish was top shelf. The function was precise. Everything LTA had on display was work ready for a testing day on the job site, or a weeklong vehicle-based outdoor adventure.
