A canopy is a type of roof, usually made from canvas or other waterproof material, that is attached to the back of a vehicle. We offer a range of canopies including chassis mounted options. This provides extra storage space for your belongings, as well as protection from the elements. A tray is a flat surface that is attached to the back of a vehicle, used for carrying larger items or for extra storage space. We offer drop-down tailgates and sides for easy loading and unloading.
