The HSP Roll R Cover for the Shark 6 weighs 55-65kg, depending on canister and fitment. That’s heavier than the 32-52kg most other electric roller covers weigh, and it’s a deliberate trade-off: the extra weight comes from the full-width Horizon LED light bar, 4 XL drain points with full-length gutters, and cut-proof interlocking aluminium slats, none of which are standard on lighter covers. It’s built for a one-time professional install, not to be the lightest cover on the market.

When open, the Roll R Cover on the Shark 6 retracts 100% into the canister, so you get full use of the tub with nothing left protruding into your load space. The canister itself is just 260mm front to rear by 215mm deep, one of the smallest full-retraction canisters available in Australia. Many other electric roller covers use bulkier or asymmetrical canisters that still eat into tub length or headroom even when fully open.

Yes. The curtain itself isn’t designed to carry weight directly, so HSP builds a dedicated accessory system around it instead. The Load Bar mounts straight to the Roll R Cover and carries 80kg dynamic (moving) and 200kg static (parked). For heavier loads, Load Rack Pro or Load Rack JNR fit with or without the Roll R Cover and carry up to 150kg dynamic and 300kg static as a complete kit (60kg dynamic and 120kg static on a rear-only kit that keeps your factory sports bar). The Armour Bar sports bar is compatible too. Most other electric roller covers rely on a single crossbar kit rated to lower dynamic loads, typically 75-150kg, rather than a tiered bar, rack and sports bar system.

The Roll R Cover is water-resistant, not fully waterproof (no roller cover on the market is). What sets it apart is drainage: it clears more than 60 litres per minute through 4 XL drain points and full-length side gutters, with external grates for extra water management. Most other electric roller covers don’t publish a drainage figure at all, which makes it hard to compare like for like. In heavy Australian rain, that drainage rate is designed to keep water moving through the canister rather than pooling.

Yes. The Roll R Cover on the Shark 6 gives you 5 independent ways to open, close and control it: your factory key fob (double-tap lock/unlock), interior lock/unlock buttons, a smart touchpad on the side rail, the HSP4x4 app (iOS and Android), and Siri voice control via iOS Shortcuts. The app also covers LED brightness, auto-lock timing and over-the-air firmware updates. That’s not standard across the category: most other electric roller covers are operated by a remote or switch only, with no app or voice control option.

The Roll R Cover on the Shark 6 uses a compact 260mm x 215mm Standard canister that sits flush with the tub rails rather than boxing up above them, and it fully retracts, so nothing sits proud of the rail line when the cover is open. Some other covers use larger, asymmetrical canisters (different height and width side to side), which is what creates the boxed-up or uneven look you’ll see on some other electric roller covers.

Yes. The Roll R Cover is 100% designed, sourced and manufactured in Australia at HSP’s Noble Park North facility in Victoria, and it’s built to ISO 9001 certification. Most other electric roller covers sold in Australia are imported, even where the brand itself is Australian. Being made locally means HSP controls quality at every stage of manufacturing and backs the product with 500+ stockists and qualified professional fitters across the country.
