Whether you’re on the job or heading off-road, a sturdy toolbox or canopy is a must-have for keeping your gear organised, safe, and weatherproof. At Glennic Transport Equipment, we supply and install top-quality powder-coated steel toolboxes and heavy-duty canopies that fit any UTE or flatbed truck. Our Paramount brand toolboxes and canopies are known for their strength, security, and reliability. Available in multiple sizes, these toolboxes can be mounted on top of the tray or underneath. Each installation is done professionally to ensure long-lasting performance.

For extra security, our whale-tail locking canopies provide ultimate protection with gullwing doors. We also offer aluminium jack-off style canopies in black or white, giving you flexibility when you need to remove or switch setups. With central locking latches, you’ll soon have even greater security at your fingertips. Our toolboxes and canopies come in various sizes: 800mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, and 1800mm long, all 1770mm wide and 850mm high. Need extra utility? We can also install 40-litre potable water tanks behind the headboard for a hidden, fresh water supply, perfect for worksites or road trips.

FAQ's

Q1. What's better: aluminium or steel toolboxes?

Aluminium toolboxes are lighter (1/3 the weight of steel) and naturally rust-resistant, making them ideal for coastal areas. Steel options offer higher load capacity (up to 300kg) and enhanced security for high-risk worksites.

Q2. How do I secure my Ute canopy from theft?

Use heavy-duty T-handle stainless steel locks with anti-tamper springs and install hidden compartments or smart locks that send phone alerts if tampered with.

Q3. Can I get one key for multiple toolboxes?

Many suppliers like OZY Toolbox provide master key systems for all purchased storage units, simplifying access while maintaining security.

Q4. What material thickness is best for durability?

Opt for 2.5mm marine-grade aluminium (5052 alloy) for canopies – thicker than standard 2mm checker plate – to withstand heavy impacts and harsh conditions.

Q5. How are under-tray toolboxes installed?

They bolt directly to the ute chassis using vehicle-specific brackets. Right/left-side models (60cm width common) maximize space without reducing ground clearance.

Q6. Which toolbox material is best for harsh climates?

Aluminium toolboxes (5052 marine-grade alloy) resist saltwater corrosion, making them ideal for coastal regions, while powder-coated steel provides superior strength for extreme temperature fluctuations in desert/arctic zones. Polypropylene boxes offer UV resistance but lack structural rigidity for heavy tools.

Q7. How do I prevent toolbox theft on Utes?

Use dual-lock systems (T-handle + padlock) with reinforced hinges and install hidden GPS trackers inside compartments. Under-tray mounting reduces visibility, while integrated alarm systems trigger vehicle horns if tampered.

Q8. Can toolboxes affect Ute fuel efficiency?

Yes – a 150kg steel toolbox adds ~0.8L/100km fuel consumption. Opt for lighter or composite materials, and position weight centrally over axles to minimize drag.

Q9. What’s the difference between gullwing and side-mount toolboxes?

Gullwing lids (upward-opening) provide 270° access in tight spaces but reduce overhead clearance. Side-mounts allow quick roadside access but require 30cm clearance from obstacles.

Q10. Can toolboxes integrate with Ute canopies?

Yes – 85% of aluminium canopies support roof-mounted toolboxes (max 50kg). Use rubber isolation pads to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
