What a Good Ute Drawer System Changes
A ute drawer system turns a tray or canopy full of loose gear into a workspace where every tool has a place. Instead of climbing into the tub or digging through toolboxes, you pull out a drawer at waist height and grab what you need.
At Pacific Bodyworks we design and fabricate drawer systems at our Wetherill Park factory, most often as part of the aluminium service bodies, ute canopies and tray bodies we build, so the drawers, shelving and compartments are laid out around your tools. A well planned fit-out gives you:
- Faster access to tools and parts, with less time spent searching on site
- Less damage to gear, because tools are held in place instead of sliding around
- More usable space from the same tray or canopy footprint
- A tidier, more secure vehicle that looks professional when it pulls up to a job
Whether you run one work ute or a whole fleet, we plan the drawer layout around how you actually work.
Why a Purpose-Built Drawer System Works Better
Off-the-shelf drawer units are made to fit an average ute. A purpose-built drawer system is laid out around your vehicle, your door openings and the equipment you carry, so no space is wasted and every drawer has a job.
Designed Around Your Tools
Tell us what you carry and how often you reach for it. We size drawers, dividers and shelving to suit, from small parts and fittings to power tools and test gear.
Made to Fit the Space
Drawers and shelving are sized to the compartment they sit in and work with every door opening, instead of leaving gaps around a standard unit.
For Tradies and Fleets
We build fit-outs for individual tradespeople and for fleets that need the same layout in every vehicle, so crews always know where things are.
How We Plan Your Drawer System
Getting the layout right makes the biggest difference, so we start with how you work, not with a catalogue. If you are still choosing a body, our body selector is a good place to start.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Trade and Vehicle
Share your vehicle, your current setup and the tools and parts you carry. We’ll recommend the drawer layout, and the body if you need one, that will save you the most time.
Step 2: Review Your Layout and Quote
We put together a layout and quote. You can adjust drawer sizes, shelving and options before anything is built.
Step 3: We Build and Fit It Out
Your drawer system is fabricated in aluminium at our Wetherill Park factory and handed over ready for work.
Drawer and Fit-out Options
Rear Slide-Out and Trundle Drawers
A full-width drawer that slides out from the rear of the tray or canopy, or a trundle drawer under the body, gives you easy access to tool cases and everyday gear without climbing in.
Drawer Stacks and Parts Organisers
Stacked drawers behind gullwing or side doors keep hand tools, fittings and consumables sorted. Add parts organisers and dividers so small items stay where you put them.
Shelving, Racking and Tool Mounts
Combine drawers with adjustable shelving, perforated tool panels, ladder racks and mounts for specific equipment, so the whole body works as one fit-out.
Fit-outs Built for Daily Work
Your drawers get opened and closed dozens of times a day, so they need to be built properly. These are the things we focus on in every fit-out.
Aluminium Construction
Aluminium keeps weight down compared with steel, which helps protect the payload you have left for tools and materials.
Lockable and Sealed
Drawers sit inside lockable, weather-sealed compartments, so tools stay dry and secure when you’re away from the vehicle.
Easy Access
Waist-height drawers and slide-outs mean less bending and climbing, which is easier on your back and quicker on site.
Organised Layouts
Every drawer and shelf has a job, so you and your crew can find tools fast and see at a glance if something is missing.
Consistent Fleet Fit-outs
For fleets, we can repeat the same drawer layout across multiple vehicles, so crews can swap vehicles without relearning where everything is.
