The different types of ute canopies and their benefits

Your ute is one of the most versatile bits of kit you can own – it’ll take you and your gear to work, take you and your mates out at the weekend and even take you and the family on an epic adventure. What if we told you it could be even more versatile? Sound good? Well, read on to discover how our ute canopies can make your vehicle even more versatile.

Off-the-peg ute canopies

At Rod’s Engineering and Lifetime Trailers, we offer a range of off-the-peg ute canopies. We only choose quality products, and you can be sure they’re the type of canopy we would want for ourselves. All the ute canopies we supply are made from automotive-grade materials and meet the highest standards. They’re a great option for builders, electricians and plumbers - in fact, anyone who has a lot of equipment that needs protecting. A ute canopy means a cleaner, less cluttered cabin, greater security and increased load capacity. 

Custom ute canopies

Ute canopies come into their own when they are custom-made. Choosing a precision engineering firm like Rod’s Engineering and Lifetime Trailers means you can have a canopy made to your exact specifications – if it’s possible, we’ll build it.

Types of custom ute canopy

There are lots of ways to make your ute canopy work smarter and make it easy to get you and your equipment where it needs to be. 

• Integrated rails 

Integrated roof rails are an uncomplicated way to maximise your ute’s load capacity. They’re always there when you need them, there is no faffing to fit extra equipment and you can be confident they’re a secure, solid solution to any extra load. 

• Customised openings

Choosing a customised roof canopy means you can choose the type of opening. Whether you need multi doors for maximum flexibility or just a single door for maximum controllability, our team will talk through your options to help you make the right decision. We can offer a range of glazing options too, from sliding windows to solid panes. 

• Ute tents

Choosing a ute tent opens up a host of possibilities. Maybe your work takes you to remote areas and you need to be sure of a shelter, or you just want to save cash on expensive accommodation. You may use your ute for hobbies like fishing or simply heading out to the bush to get away from it all. Our customised ute canopies with ute tent give you optimum flexibility and freedom. 

• Customised style

We use strong, lightweight auto-grade aluminium for our customised ute canopies. This can be powder coated to match the rest of your ute for a seamless look, or coloured to work with your business branding.
