Choose the body around the job

Start with what the vehicle needs to carry, how often it must be accessed, security, weather protection and available payload. Trades may prioritise organised tool access and durable work surfaces. Touring vehicles may need space for a fridge, batteries, water, drawers and recovery gear. Fleet vehicles often require repeatable layouts and simple maintenance.

Alloy and steel trays

Aluminium trays reduce body weight and resist corrosion, helping preserve payload for cargo and accessories. Steel trays are often chosen for heavy-duty work and robust construction. Floor type, tie- down points, headboard, sideboards, ladder racks, under-tray storage, rear protection and towing compatibility should be specified for the intended use.

Canopy and service-body options

Options include tub-mounted canopies and hardtops, tray-mounted canopies, stainless or aluminium systems and integrated service bodies. Side access, central locking, internal bracing, roof-load capacity, dust and water management, ventilation and accessory mounting provisions vary by product.

Storage and electrical integration

Planning storage and electrical equipment together produces a cleaner and more serviceable build. Batteries, chargers, inverters, solar input, fridge circuits, lighting and switch panels need ventilation, cable protection and accessible fusing. Confirm heavy component positions early to help manage axle load.

Brands and vehicle-specific solutions

Product ranges may include Triple M tray bodies, RSI Smart Canopy, Utemaster, Maxliner, Aeroklas, Piranha Offroad, 3XM and other compatible systems. Availability varies by vehicle, tub or chassis configuration and accessory combination.

Payload and suspension planning

A tray, canopy, tools and electrical system can add substantial permanent mass. Check the vehicle's available payload and axle limits before ordering. A suspension assessment or approved GVM upgrade may be appropriate, but it should be planned from actual or realistic finished weights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an aluminium tray better than steel?+
Aluminium usually saves weight and resists corrosion; steel can suit demanding heavy-duty work. The best choice depends on payload, use, price and required accessories.
Can you fit out the inside of a canopy?+
Yes. The Ute Shop can coordinate storage and 12V equipment, subject to the selected canopy and your required layout.
Will a canopy affect my payload?+
Yes. The canopy and everything installed or carried inside count toward GVM and axle loads.
Should I choose the electrical system before ordering the canopy?+
Plan them together. Battery size, inverter, fridge, solar and cable routes can influence the canopy layout and mounting requirements.
Can a tray work with my towbar or rear bar?+
Often, but compatibility must be confirmed for the exact vehicle, tray dimensions and towing product before ordering.
