Can anyone recommend a tray/canopy manufacturer that I can get to build a custom one for me.
I have gotten quotes from Minecorp and Roscos, just wanting to know if there is any good ones in Sydney.
I like the look of Roachies on his chevnissan but I don't want a tree killing version.

The one from Roscos is a smaller version of the standard sized Big AL -BA4 with added accessories of course the base design below is $8600 including fitting in Melbourne

THE BIG AL – BA4
Standard two door aluminium includes
*Interior light x 2
*All door safety switches
*All light devices meet required State regulations
*Painted mud guards with mud flaps
*Painted to match cab
1200mm L x 1900mm W

I am still waiting on the Minecorp quote

Cheers Kev

The price from Roscos does not include the dreaded GST.

G'day Kev

OBEICO ( 67623954) in Tamworth make the canopies that Telstra use on the Nissan cab chassis. They are beautifully made and dust and water proof. Ask for Serge. I have no connection of any sort with this company - just a satisfied user (not Telstra)

Kev,
I had Metal Form Industries (Warragul) build a tray canopy a couple of years back, the fit & finish was fantastic. They will also work with you on a specific lay out that will work best for your use.
Give Dallas a call 30 5622 3884

Hi Kev

Dave Vella from Daves Metal Products at Wetherill Park in Sydney built my canopy.

Great job and worked with me to get it just right; I can't speak highly enough of him....
