Flappy Piece - Paw Protector

Give your dog added protection when loading and unloading your pickup with our hinged aluminium chequer plate tailgate safety strip. Designed to cover the gap between the pickup bed and the lowered tailgate, it helps prevent your dog’s legs and paws from slipping into the space as they enter or exit the vehicle.

The strip is hinged to the pickup bed, so it unfolds naturally when the tailgate is lowered, creating a smooth, secure transition between the bed and tailgate. When the tailgate is closed, the strip folds neatly back into position, keeping it out of the way until it is needed again. Made from strong, durable chequer plate aluminium, the strip is designed to withstand everyday use while providing a practical and unobtrusive solution for dog owners. The raised chequer pattern also provides additional grip compared with a smooth metal surface.
