Trays & Canopy Combos

Trays & Canopy Combos(New)

• Can I mix and match trays with different canopies?

  Yes. You can mix and match our T1 or T3 trays with X1 or X3 canopies as long as the measurements align. This flexibility means you’re not limited to preset options and can build a tray and canopy combo that suits your exact vehicle requirements. Many customers opt for a heavy-duty tray to maximise load capacity then pair it with a lighter canopy to save weight, or choose the reverse for added protection up top. This balance of strength, weight and cost gives you a versatile solution that works just as well on the job site as it does for weekend adventures.

• What combo types are available?

  L&G Chivalry offers a wide variety of tray and canopy combos, including T1 + X1, T3 + X1, T3 + X3, service body configurations and tray + toolbox packages. These options are designed to suit different budgets, vehicle setups and applications, from compact storage to full-length touring builds. By choosing the right combo type, you can create a vehicle solution that balances load capacity, functionality and price.

• What finishes can I choose for combos?

  Tray and canopy combos are available in a raw alloy finish or black powder-coating. Raw alloy provides a classic, durable look with minimal maintenance, while powder-coated black adds a modern, sleek appearance with enhanced protection against scratches and corrosion. You can also pick between checker plate (2.5 mm) for extra toughness and slip resistance or marine-grade flat plate (2.5 mm or 3.0 mm) for a smooth, high-strength finish.

• What are the available size options?

  Tray and canopy combos are offered in various sizes to suit most utes. Widths include approximately 1780 mm, 1860 mm and 1900 mm. Tray lengths run from 1600 mm up to 2400 mm, while canopy lengths range from 600 mm to 2400 mm. With this variety, you can choose proportions that suit both your vehicle and your needs, from compact setups for everyday storage to balanced builds for trade work or extended configurations designed for heavy-duty use and touring.

• Can I get a quote for a custom combo?

  Absolutely. If you have a specific tray, canopy and accessory combination in mind, L&G Chivalry can provide a tailored quotation to match your requirements. Simply contact us with your preferred measurements, materials and finish, and we will help configure a package that delivers the best value and fit for your ute. We can also guide you through options for fleet builds, camping rigs and specialised trade setups, ensuring you get a combo that truly meets your needs.

• How do you remove a tray and install a canopy?

  Removing a tray and installing a canopy involves more than simply swapping components. The existing tray must be safely removed, the mounting surface prepared and the new canopy aligned and secured using a compatible mounting system. This process varies depending on the vehicle setup and whether you are fitting a canopy to an existing tray or transitioning to a complete ute tray and canopy package.
  
  Correct alignment, even load distribution and proper sealing are critical to prevent movement, water ingress or long-term wear. For this reason, installation should follow manufacturer guidelines or be carried out by a qualified installer to ensure the tray and canopy setup fits securely and performs as intended

• What materials are used in aluminium trays and canopies?

  Aluminium trays and canopies are typically constructed from high-grade aluminium alloys, such as 5052 aluminium, chosen for their balance of strength, corrosion resistance and manageable weight. This makes them well suited to Australian conditions, including exposure to moisture, dust and long-distance use.
  
  Plate options usually include checker plate for added grip and durability or marine-grade flat plate in varying thicknesses such as 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm. Thicker plates provide additional strength for heavy-duty applications, while lighter options help maintain payload capacity. Finishes may include raw aluminium or powder coating, depending on the level of protection and appearance required across different tray and canopy combos.
