Quality Metalwork, Every Time.

Engineered For Strength & Function

Our custom ute trays are designed with usability in mind—from optimal weight distribution and load-bearing capacity to accessibility and secure storage. Each component is precision-engineered and carefully tested to meet the functional requirements of commercial, recreational, and agricultural users.


Every tray is crafted based on vehicle specs, usage needs, and aesthetic preferences. We can integrate custom fuel or water tanks, fit out unique canopy requirements, and build drawer systems or racks for specialised tools and equipment.


We use marine-grade alloy and professional-grade welds to ensure trays can withstand daily wear and tear, even in off-road and coastal conditions. Our experience in structural and aesthetic fabrication allows us to create trays that are strong and practical and complement your vehicle's overall look.


Whether you need added security, organisation, or capability, we’ve got the skills and experience to make it happen. Explore our past projects, or contact our team to see what’s possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best material for a ute tray?

    Aluminium is one of the best materials for ute trays due to its strength, lightweight construction, and corrosion resistance. It’s ideal for tradespeople and 4WD owners because it reduces the vehicle's weight without compromising durability. 

  • How much weight can a custom alloy ute tray handle?

    The load capacity of a custom alloy ute tray depends on the design, material thickness, structural supports, and vehicle specifications.

  • Are custom ute trays worth the investment?

    Absolutely. Custom ute trays offer a high return on investment by improving utility, increasing storage efficiency, and tailoring the setup to match your work or lifestyle.
