Ute Canopies Perth

For WA dealerships, fleet operators, trades and traffic management companies, a well-built canopy turns an open tray into secure, weatherproof storage for tools, stock and equipment. In short, a ute canopy is a lockable cover fitted over a ute tray, built in steel, aluminium or canvas.

Unicorn Transport Equipment designs and manufactures custom ute canopies Perth businesses rely on, built on-site at our Canning Vale facility to suit your vehicle, your load, and the conditions you work in.

  • 5.0 Google Reviews rating
  • 40+ years manufacturing
  • WA-owned family business
  • 12-month warranty
Built in Canning Vale Not imported · not resold

From a single vehicle to a full fleet rollout, our in-house team manages the complete build: design, fabrication, fitting and finishing. Every canopy is engineered to your exact specification rather than adapted from a generic mould. Contact us for a quote or consultation with one of our team.

Know Your Materials

Steel and Aluminium Ute Canopies: Choosing the Right Material

Material choice affects weight, payload, corrosion resistance and long-term running costs, so it's one of the first decisions to get right. We manufacture aluminium ute canopies and steel canopies across our range, with each suited to different vehicles, industries and budgets. For lighter-duty and recreational applications, we also offer canvas canopy options as a cost-effective alternative within our accessories range. All canopies are custom designed using 3D design technology, with peaked roof, rounded corner or fully enclosed design options available.

Steel Canopies

Steel Ute Canopies

Steel canopies suit operators who need maximum impact resistance and structural strength, particularly on mine sites, civil construction projects and other high-wear environments. Using the same powder-coated, CED (Cathodic Electrodeposition) finishing process as our steel trays, our steel canopies are built for durability under tough WA conditions and protect tools, stock and equipment against knocks and rough handling.

Best for: mine sites, civil construction & high-wear environments

Aluminium Canopies

Aluminium Ute Canopies

Aluminium canopies Perth fleets and tradies choose most often, particularly where payload compliance, fuel efficiency and corrosion resistance matter. Our aluminium canopies offer a strong strength-to-weight ratio, keeping unladen vehicle weight down without compromising security or structural integrity. Using the same anodised finish as our aluminium trays, aluminium canopies resist corrosion in coastal and rugged environments, making them a smart long-term investment for fleets covering high mileage.

Best for: fleets & tradies: payload, fuel efficiency & corrosion resistance

  • Custom design using 3D design technology, so the canopy is tailored to your exact vehicle and specification
  • Peaked roof, rounded corner or fully enclosed design options
  • Choice of aluminium, steel or canvas construction to suit your budget and application
  • Secure, weatherproof storage built to protect tools, stock and equipment on the job or on the road
  • Fabricated to complement your vehicle, whether fitted to a single ute or matched across a fleet

Build Process Overview

Custom canopies follow the same build process as our trays. Every Unicorn canopy is designed in-house by our engineering team and manufactured at our Canning Vale facility, giving us direct control over quality, lead times and customisation at every stage.

  1. Consultation and specification: understanding your vehicle, intended use and any site or compliance requirements.
  2. Design and engineering: custom dimensions and fitout matched to your make, model and operational needs.
  3. In-house fabrication: built on-site using our own laser cutting, welding, CNC press brakes and hydro-bending equipment.
  4. Quality assurance and finishing: checks throughout manufacturing, followed by painted or powder-coated finishing to match your vehicle.
  5. Fitting and handover: installed on-site or prepared flat-packed for dispatch, with our team available for after-sales support.

This in-house model is what allows us to respond quickly to fleet orders and adjust specifications without the delays of a third-party supplier.

I had a post warranty quality issue on the tray body of my Triton, which Unicorn handled professionally and graciously. I was very satisfied with the way I was treated and the rectification.

Peter and the team put a custom tray on my Amarok and words cannot describe how happy I am with it. The colour matching and attention to detail is phenomenal. He was always available to communicate and made the process so streamlined, I really felt like what I wanted was listened to and executed better than I could've hoped for. Everybody is probably sick of listening to me talk about Unicorn now but I couldn't recommend them more.

A company performance can be measured in not only the quality of their product but in their after sales service and in particular attention to detail in the event of any issue. This company came out "tops" in all fronts - great product and 5 star aftersales service. . Thanks Rick.
