1200mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy – Black

When your priority is open tray space, the 1200mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy (Black) is the answer. As the most compact partial canopy in our range, it gives you a secure, weatherproof compartment for your essentials while leaving the maximum possible length of tray open behind it — perfect for tradies and tourers who regularly carry ladders, pipes, timber and other long or awkward loads that no full canopy could ever take.

Despite its compact size, it’s built tough. The body is constructed from 2.5mm marine-grade 5052-series aluminium, fully TIG welded with a reinforced floor and standard internal U-channel reinforcement. The powder-coated black finish includes a thorough interior over-spray, so it looks sharp inside and out.

Why the 1200mm Flat Plate Partial Canopy Works

At 1200mm, this is the shortest partial we offer — and that’s exactly the point. The compact footprint adds the least weight and leaves the most open tray length of any canopy in the range, while still giving you a lockable, dust- and weather-proof home for tools, tech and valuables. If you’ve found full and longer partial canopies eat up too much of your load space, this is the setup that gets the balance right.

H2: Sizes, Extras and Compatibility

Need more enclosed storage? Step up to the 1500mm or 1650mm partial canopy for a larger locked compartment. Add bolt-on roof racks or ladder racks (rated to carry up to 200kg static vertical distributed load) for extra capacity, and browse our touring and trade fit-outs and ute trays and accessories to finish your build.

H2: Loading, Payload and Road Safety

Even a compact canopy adds weight and changes how loads must be carried and secured. Before you load up, get across the national rules and your vehicle’s limits:

• The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s Load Restraint Guide sets out how to secure loads safely and legally.
• The National Transport Commission maintains Australia’s load-restraint and transport standards.
• The Australian Government’s vehicle standards and Australian Design Rules cover GVM, payload and modifications.
• State authorities such as Transport for NSW and VicRoads publish state-specific load and modification rules — including rules on long loads projecting beyond your tray.

Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer’s roof load rating or GVM, and flag any rearward-projecting loads as required in your state.
