The hard Lid, reinvented.
Built for Everyday Life –
Beyond Yesterday’s Hard Lids.
Three Hard Lid Problems.
One Proper Solution.
Most hard lids solve one problem and create another – poor organisation, no front access, or zero flexibility for tall gear. The Artemis Hard Lid is different. It’s engineered to fix all three of the biggest hard lid frustrations at once, in one clean, integrated system that works with how you actually use your ute.
The Problem:
No front access. Most hard lids make the front of your tub unreachable unless you climb inside.
Artemis Hard Lid Fix:
The Artemis Hard Lid has integrated front access hatches with optional storage boxes. Grab your gear from the side, instantly.
The Problem:
No tall gear flexibility. Carrying fridges, bikes or awkward loads usually means removing the lid entirely.
Artemis Hard Lid Fix:
The Artemis Hard Lid has a 180° rear fold-back design allows tall gear to fit without removing or unbolting anything.
The Problem:
No organisation. Traditional hard lids turn your tub into a dumping ground – gear slides, stacks and gets buried.
Artemis Hard Lid Fix:
The Artemis Hard Lid works seamlessly with optional drawers and deck sliders, keeping everything secure, visible and in place.

THE ARTEMIS HARD LID – A NEW STANDARD FOR UTE HARD COVERS IN NEW ZEALAND.
The Artemis Hard Lid by M2 Overland is a purpose-built, premium ute hard cover engineered for the realities of New Zealand work and lifestyle. Traditional hard lids have focused on weather protection and security, but they haven’t evolved to match how people actually use their utes today.
Our customers load hunting gear, fishing gear, work tools, sports equipment, groceries, kids’ school bags, along with many other things – and they need a hard cover that keeps everything organised, accessible, and secure.
Where most ute lids remain fixed in place and restrict tall gear, the Artemis Hard Lid introduces a unique 180-degree fold-back system that lets you load tall and awkward items without removing the cover entirely. This is a major step forward for anyone who regularly carries taller gear like scooters, coolers, crates, tool cases, plants/trees, camping equipment, or any real-world cargo that doesn’t lie flat.
The front storage hatches on the Artemis Hard Lid provide something almost no other hard cover offers: fast, one-handed access from the sides of the ute to the front of the tub. This eliminates the biggest usability issue with traditional ute covers – the inability to reach gear that's slid forward. Or couple it with a storage box and have your gear not slide forward at all.
The Artemis Hard Lid supports drawer systems and deck sliders, meaning the tub can be transformed into a complete storage and organisation setup for tradies, hunters, families, and outdoor users alike. Every aspect of the lid was engineered for strength, simplicity, and everyday performance — from the 200kg dynamic load rating to the optional integrated central locking & lighting, or storage boxes.
Whether your ute is used for work, adventure, family life, or all three, the Artemis Hard Lid delivers a level of practicality and capability that traditional ute lids simply can’t match.
This isn’t a tweak.
This isn’t a facelift.
This is the reinvention of the ute hard cover in New Zealand.
