Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in your chassis mount canopies?
Our canopies are crafted from high-grade aluminium, offering excellent strength without excessive weight. This material is resistant to corrosion, making it well-suited to coastal environments and harsh outdoor use.
Can I customise my canopy to suit my business or recreational needs?
Yes, we offer complete customisation options. You can add shelving, drawer systems, roof racks, tie-down points, internal lighting, and more. We build around your requirements to ensure maximum usability and convenience.
Do your canopies fit all vehicle types?
Our chassis mount canopies are designed to fit a range of ute models and chassis platforms. We work with you to ensure the canopy is compatible with your specific vehicle, including sizing, mounting points, and functionality.
Are your canopies suitable for off-road or remote travel?
Absolutely. Our custom aluminium trailers and canopies are built to handle rugged conditions. With reinforced frames and weather-resistant seals, they’re ideal for off-road tours, remote work locations, and long-term outdoor use.
How long does it take to manufacture a custom canopy?
Lead times vary based on the level of customisation, but we provide clear timelines at the start of each project. Our team keeps you informed throughout the process and ensures each unit meets our quality standards before delivery.
Can I install the canopy myself, or do you offer installation?
We offer professional installation services to ensure correct fitting and safety. However, if you prefer a DIY approach, we provide guidance and installation kits with all necessary components.
What is the difference between a chassis mount canopy and a tub mount canopy?
Chassis mount canopies are installed directly to the vehicle's chassis, offering a stronger and more secure attachment than tub mounts. They are ideal for heavy-duty and commercial applications, providing greater storage flexibility and weight distribution.
