Know Your Materials

Steel and Aluminium Trays: Choosing the Right Material

When choosing a truck or Ute tray, material choice is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Both steel and aluminium trays are available across our range.

Steel Trays

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 Trays

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.

Proud Local Manufacturer

Built On-Site in Perth, WA

As a proud local manufacturer, every Unicorn tray we produce is customisable to your specific needs, designed in-house by our engineering team and built at our Canning Vale facility. Every tray goes through strict quality assurance checks throughout the design, manufacturing and installation process.

For WA-based customers, this matters. You’re not waiting on interstate freight, dealing with a third-party supplier, or compromising on spec because a standard product doesn’t quite fit your vehicle. Our team manages the full design and build process in-house, which means we can respond quickly to fleet orders, adjust specifications to suit your vehicle, and maintain the quality standards our customers have relied on for over four decades.

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.

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.
