TCX Canopies

How much does it cost to put a canopy on a ute?

Prices for fitting an alloy canopy will vary on a case-by-case basis. The most significant portion of the cost is the price of the canopy itself. Our canopies range from $1,999 to $4,499 - depending on the size, finish and other elements.

You should be able to fit the canopy on yourself. But if you want professional installation, be sure to budget a little extra for that service.

How much weight can you put on a ute canopy?

Roof weight capacity varies from model to model. Thanks to our stable engineered bracing system, T.C ute canopies can support approximately 300kg of weight on the roof without a problem. This makes them one of the strongest ute canopy options on the market.

Are ute canopies easy to remove?

Our ute canopies are designed to be as lightweight as possible, making them easy to install and remove. To make things even easier, we also offer sturdy jack off canopy legs that can be used to easily lift and remove your aluminium canopy whenever you need to do so.

What are half canopies best used for?

A half canopy is an incredibly practical and useful addition to your vehicle and one that you won’t regret. Ideal for transporting hunting and fishing gear, camping accessories and other outdoor equipment — as well as for day to day use like protecting your valuable work equipment and tools — a T.C Boxes ute half canopy is the ultimate transportation and security solution.

What are the sizes of half canopies?

At T.C Boxes, our two available half canopy sizes are: 1775mm L x 850mm H x (800mm or x 1,000mm) W. They come fully equipped with twin gas-strut-assisted doors for ease of opening and heavy-duty whale-tail locks for maximum security and simplicity. With incredible robust hinges and corrosion-resistant aluminium of the highest quality, we are confident our half canopy toolboxes will fit nicely on your rig.

Should I get a half or full-size canopy?

While this very much comes down to personal preference, we may be able to give a little guidance that helps you make a decision. Think carefully about how you generally use your vehicle. If you need to carry your tools or outdoor equipment in a highly organised manner and feel that they will all fit inside a full canopy, then that may be the better option. With that said, a full canopy is bigger, but it doesn’t double the capacity of a half canopy.

However, if you need to have the capacity to carry objects that may protrude beyond the edges of the tray, your best bet is probably to opt for a half canopy. This way, you can leave yourself room for unwieldy objects at the back of the tray.
