Premium Ute Accessories and Expert Solutions in Sydney

A ute canopy transforms the open bed of a utility vehicle into a secure, sheltered cargo area. It's an essential accessory for anyone looking to protect tools, equipment and supplies from the elements and potential theft.

Beyond commercial use, aluminium ute canopies are also popular among outdoor enthusiasts who require a safe, weather-resistant space for camping gear and other recreational items.

Yes, many ute canopies are designed to be removable to provide flexibility in usage. Removable models allow for easy conversion of your vehicle's space to suit different purposes, from secure storage to an open tray needed for larger loads. 

The ease of removal varies by design — some can be lifted off with minimal effort and basic tools, while others might require more time and mechanical assistance.

A regular ute canopy is typically a fixed structure designed to be semi-permanently attached to the ute’s tray, providing secure and sheltered storage. It's built from materials like aluminium, fibreglass or steel and is ideal for continuous use.

In contrast, a heavy duty lift-off canopy is designed for flexibility, featuring built-in lifting points and sometimes jack legs that allow easy removal and reattachment. This type is suitable for users who need to alternate between a covered bed and an open tray, offering the convenience of quickly adapting the vehicle to different needs without tools.

The optimal height of a canopy depends on your specific needs. Standard canopies are often level with the cab of the truck, providing a streamlined appearance and better aerodynamics. However, if you need more storage space, a high-roof model might be preferable. Consider your typical cargo and your accessibility needs when choosing the height.

Yes, all our aluminium ute canopies are waterproof with complete seam welding and rubber seals, along with a gutter seal to limit water ingress while doors are open in the rain. 

Investing in a ute canopy can be highly beneficial, particularly if security and protection for your tools or cargo are priorities. The cost of a canopy is often offset by the advantages it provides in terms of increased vehicle functionality and the prevention of theft and damage to your belongings. Additionally, it can increase the resale value of your vehicle by keeping the bed protected and in good condition.

Fitting a canopy can vary in time depending on the type and complexity of the installation. At Rolloc Industries, we offer bolt-on canopies, which can be fitted in as little as an hour, while more complex installations requiring additional fittings and modifications might take several hours. 

Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and integrity, particularly for canopies that are integrated with the vehicle’s electrical system or require structural modifications.
