ALUMINIUM FLEET CANOPY
The world's most accessible canopy
NZ Design Registration 427520
What is the Utemaster Fleet Canopy?
Traditionally, ute canopies are constructed with fibreglass or ABS plastic. The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is constructed with Aluminium which gives it greater strength.
Because it is so strong, we can maximise access through full-width doors without compromising on the structural integrity of the canopy.
This product has been designed and manufactured in New Zealand at Utemaster's state of the art facility and focuses on three key features: Access, Strength & Security.
Uncompromised Access
The side doors on the Aluminium Canopy provide up to 50% more access than a standard canopy. Your workforce will find this canopy amazing to work out of as they can easily load gear using the sides as well as the rear.
Security
The patented slam locking system ensures that the Aluminium Canopy is easily locked. It can also be integrated with the vehicles central locking to operate at a click of the factory car key remote. The solid aluminium side and rear doors mean that thieves cannot see the equipment inside.
Heavy Duty Construction
The Aluminium construction allows this canopy to carry much heavier loads than you ever could on a fibreglass or ABS canopy.
This means you can stack it with all your gear to get stuff done and enjoy life's adventures without having to worry about it cracking or damaging your canopy.
Customise to suit your industry
Being constructed from Aluminium, the Canopy is a blank canvas for your fleet needs. Utemaster can easily customise the interior and exterior using methods that are not possible with a plastic or fibreglass canopy.
Company Branding
Because there is a large flat surface area on the sides and rear, and no glass the Aluminium Canopy is an ideal platform for signwriting to show off your company brand.
Colour Options
Powdercoating Black or White: The Aluminium Canopy comes standard in either Black or White powdercoat finish. The powder coating process is carried out in-house using our state of the art powder coating booth and provides a durable finish. Please state at time of order your preference.
Colour Match: If you would like the canopy to match the colour of your vehicle, please contact us directly to confirm pricing and availability of colours.
Superior Weatherproofing
We were recently asked: “What are they like keeping the rain out when open? the worst part of my canopy is all the water tracks straight inside with wings open”
That's so frustrating! We know how many tradespeople and recreationists out there struggle with this. Not only does it damage your gear inside, but it also delays progress on a job site.
Check out this video of the Utemaster Aluminium Canopy being water-tested during the design/ development phase - as you can see the built-in rain channels send any water landing on the canopy away for the inside of your wellside.
Load Carrying Options
The heavy-duty construction of the Centurion Canopy allows you to carry ladders, pipes and much more with the use of a Cantilever rack. The biggest advantage with a Cantilever rack is the fact that it is mounted independently to the roof of the cab of the ute, which means when driving off-road there is no risk of damage to either the cab or the canopy.
