How We Deliver Your Aluminium Ute Canopy
At Pacific Bodyworks, every aluminium ute canopy is designed, fabricated, and assembled right here in Sydney. We don’t resell imported shells or mass-produced units. Instead, we work directly with tradespeople, fleet managers, and government buyers to deliver builds that fit your vehicle and your workflow, no wasted space, no guesswork. From concept to install, our process ensures your canopy is built to perform in Sydney’s demanding trade environments.
Design and Consultation
Our team collaborates with you to define trade-specific needs, vehicle model, and site conditions. Using CAD-based design tools, we plan the optimal layout for tools, access, and storage balance.
Fabrication and Fitment
Aluminium panels are CNC-cut, TIG-welded, and spray-sealed for strength and corrosion resistance. Finishes can include powder coating, colour matching, or branded fleet graphics, all completed in-house at Wetherill Park.
Quality Assurance and Delivery
Every canopy is load-tested, inspected, and prepared for fitment. We manage local delivery, installation, and follow-up support across Sydney and greater NSW.
