Ute Canopies
We have a range of products for building a Ute canopy. Our 2887 Pantograph Hinge on the right-hand side of the vehicle opens up and out which is very useful should the Ute be parked close to buildings or near roads. The gas assisted lift operation of this door using 1853 Gas Struts makes it easy to open and close. A 3583 Drop T Latch locks this door in place.
Mounted on the back is a drawer made from the 5005 – Super Duty Drawer Slides 600kg Zinc Plated (Painted Blue on this vehicle) with a 4364 – Push Button Drawer Handle. This allows the drawer to be locked shut or open in multiple stages.

Trailers
This mobile coffee trailer features many drawer slides, hinges and cargo control, which keeps everything in place while on the road. The 3 trailers doors are all latched using a 3458 - 3 Point Handle with the Rods and Rod Guides. This latch compresses as it extends the rods, securing the door in place. For extra safety it can be locked with both a key and padlock.
New and Unique
A new and unique product is our 3880 and 3881 Continuous Geared Hinge. This aluminium hinge operates using a Geared Mechanism as shown in the picture. This keeps the hinge rigid across its entire length and makes it very strong with a load rating of 220kg. This highly durable design makes it ideal for horizontally mounted doors and heavy vertically mounted doors with high frequency usage.
