⚠ Safety & Usage Instructions for Teraglide Platform

We want your car camping experience to be safe, smooth, and enjoyable. Please take a moment to review these safety guidelines before installing or using your platform.

🛠 Installation & Lifting

  • The platform can be heavy. Do not lift it alone.
  • We recommend installing it in stages:
    • Start with the base frame.
    • Then place the drawer.
    • Finally, attach the sliding cover or bed panel.
  • Always secure the platform using the straps to factory anchor points in your car.
  • Do not use the platform without proper fastening.
  • Do not drive with the platform in the open or extended position. It must always be folded back into the trunk before driving.

✋ Pinch Points & Moving Parts

Take care when using:

  • The lift-up cover
  • The sliding panel or bed platform
  • The drawer system
  • The clip-on table

➤ Keep hands and fingers away from hinges and sliding areas to avoid injury.
➤ Always supervise children around the platform.

💧 Moisture & Care

  • If the platform gets wet — from spills, rain, or condensation — dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent swelling, warping, or mould.
  • Do not expose the platform to long-term rain or standing water. Wood is a natural material. Treat it gently and avoid excess moisture.
  • Hairline cracks or small splits in the wood are normal with natural materials and do not affect function.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
  • Bamboo parts (e.g. clip-on table) should be treated with care — we recommend regular oiling or staining to protect the surface and extend its life.

🔩 Maintenance

  • Check and tighten all bolts and joints regularly.
  • If something feels loose or squeaks, tighten it or contact us for support.
  • Keep away from open flames or heat sources. It is not fire-resistant.

📦 Weight Limits

  • Main drawer: Up to 80 kg evenly distributed
  • Clip-on table: Up to 15 kg
  • Bed platform: Tested to support up to 180 kg of distributed weight
    ➤ Do not apply sharp, concentrated pressure or jump on the platform.
  • Headrest extension panel:
    ➤ Only use when side wings are installed and with straps where it's mentioned, usually for small cars.
    ➤ Using the headrest alone without supports may be unstable and unsafe.

📌 Important

  • Always use the platform with care and supervise children when it’s in use.
  • Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage and can void your warranty.

  • Our platforms are designed for comfort and travel convenience — not crash protection.

    This product has not been crash-tested and is not certified as a safety device. It must be treated like any other large load in your vehicle.

    To reduce risk during transit:

    • Always fold the platform fully into the trunk when driving.

    • Ensure it is secured using straps or other suitable anchor points.

    • Never drive with the platform unfolded or partially extended.

    • Do not rely on the platform to restrain cargo or prevent movement during a collision.

    By using the platform, you acknowledge that:

    • You are responsible for securing the unit properly during use and transit.

    • Skycraft Limited (Teraglide) accepts no liability for injury, vehicle damage, or consequences in the event of an accident.
