Know Your Materials
Steel and Aluminium Trays: Choosing the Right Material
Steel Ute Trays
Steel is typically the preferred material for operators in mining, civil construction, and heavy-duty commercial applications where structural integrity takes priority.
Our steel trays deliver exceptional strength and impact resistance, making them a reliable choice for demanding applications including heavy payloads, rough terrain, and high-wear environments. Finished with a powder-coated surface and treated with a CED (Cathodic Electrodeposition) base coat for enhanced corrosion resistance and paint adhesion, our range of steel trays are designed and manufactured with lasting durability for tough Australian conditions.
Best for: mining, civil construction & heavy-duty commercial
Aluminium Ute Trays
For fleet operators, farmers, adventurers and those focused on payload compliance, fuel efficiency and long-term durability, aluminium is often the smarter investment.
Our aluminium trays offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio, helping operators maximise payload capacity without adding unnecessary vehicle weight. Finished with anodised coatings for corrosion resistance, aluminium trays perform well in coastal and rugged environments and industries where weight savings translate directly to operational efficiency.
Best for: fleets, farmers & adventurers — payload & fuel efficiency

Built On-Site in Perth, WA

Every tray goes through strict quality assurance checks throughout the design, manufacturing and installation process.

As a WA-owned and operated family business operating since 1984, we continue to build strong, long-term relationships with dealerships, fleet managers, trade operators and individual vehicle owners throughout the state.
