A protective combination liner for a truck bed, such that material stored in a second cavity of the combination liner is protected from damaging the truck bed, comprising:
- a coated liner adhesively coupled to the truck bed, the coated liner having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface contacting the truck bed and having a transverse section and a bed section, the transverse section and the bed section forming a first cavity, wherein the coated liner has a thickness on a bottom floor of the first cavity of less than 150 mils and includes an internal mold release product;
- and a pre-formed liner having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the shape of the second side substantially similar to the shape of the second surface, the first side forming a surface of a second cavity, the pre-formed liner disposed within the first cavity and such that the second side of the pre-formed liner is at least partially contacting the second surface of the coated liner.
A method of protecting a truck bed from damage due to contents sorted in the bed, comprising:
- coating a polymer liner onto the truck bed, such that the liner so coated has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface contacting the truck bed and having a transverse section and a bed section, the transverse section and the bed section forming a first cavity, wherein the coated liner has a thickness on a bottom floor of the first cavity of less than 150 mils and includes an internal mold release product;
- and disposing a preformed liner within the cavity, the pre-formed liner having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the shape of the second side substantially similar to the shape of the second surface, the first side forming a surface of a second cavity, and such that the second side of the pre-formed liner is at least partially contacting the second surface of the coated liner.
