Triple M Aluminium Quick Lock Ute Trays Sunshine Coast
The Triple M Aluminium Quick Lock tray combines an aluminium tray body manufactured in Australia with integrated hinges, load restraint points and a choice of deck sizes. The Ute Shop can confirm the correct tray dimensions and vehicle fitment, organise suitable accessories and professionally install the tray at our Warana workshop on the Sunshine Coast.
Tray length, width, deck type, headboard, rear rack, steps, toolboxes and water tank options must be selected for the vehicle and intended use. Product appearance and fitment can vary between makes, models and cab configurations.
Main benefits of the Quick Lock tray
- Aluminium construction helps reduce tray weight and resist corrosion
- Integrated Quick Lock hinge removes the need for a separate retaining pin or E clip
- Internal restraint points secure loads below the height of the dropsides
- Quick Hitch rope rails allow a rope to pass through the rail once for faster securing
- General Purpose and Heavy Duty deck options suit different work requirements
- Multiple tray lengths and widths allow a vehicle specific installation
Quick Lock hinge design
Traditional dropside hinges often use a separate retaining pin or E clip. Triple M integrates this retention feature into the Quick Lock hinge so there is no separate clip to lose. The hinge uses a high strength automotive grade polymer and a stainless steel pivot pin. Its rounded exterior surfaces are designed to reduce exposed sharp edges.
Dropside and tailgate catches
Triple M manufactures the catches from glass reinforced nylon and over moulds them around a steel insert for strength and durability. The low friction operating surfaces are intended to make latch operation easier than traditional designs.
Load restraint points and Quick Hitch rope rails
The tray includes purpose designed options for securing loads above and below the dropside height. The manufacturer rates both the internal load restraint points and Quick Hitch rope rails at 400 kg. The actual load must still remain within the vehicle payload, axle ratings and the capacity of every strap, rope and attachment used.
Internal load restraint points
- Allow short loads to be restrained without routing straps over the dropsides
- Help apply downward restraint directly to the load
- Rated by Triple M at 400 kg
Quick Hitch rope rails
- Allow the rope to pass through the centre of the rail once
- Designed to reduce the time required to secure common tray loads
- Rated by Triple M at 400 kg

Tray weight payload and legal limits
An aluminium tray can reduce body weight compared with many steel alternatives, but the final payload cannot be assumed from the tray material alone. Available payload equals the vehicle GVM minus its actual operating weight after the tray, accessories, occupants, fuel and other equipment are fitted. Axle ratings and towball download can also become the limiting factor.
We recommend weighing the completed vehicle when payload is important. A tray installation does not increase the vehicle GVM unless it forms part of a separately approved and certified GVM upgrade.
