1500mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy – Black

When you carry long loads but still need your valuable gear locked away, the 1500mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy (Black) is the answer. As the most compact partial canopy in our range, it gives you secure, weatherproof storage at the front of your dual-cab tray while leaving the maximum amount of rear space open for ladders, pipes, timber and oversized items a full canopy can’t take.

The body is built from 2.5mm marine-grade 5052-series aluminium, fully TIG welded for strength, with a reinforced floor and standard internal U-channel reinforcement. Its powder-coated black finish includes a thorough interior over-spray for a sharp, durable look right through.

Why the 1500mm Flat Plate Partial Canopy Works So Well

At 1500mm, this is the shortest partial in the range — and that’s the point. The compact footprint maximises your open tray length, making it ideal for tradies and tourers who regularly haul long materials but still want a lockable, dust- and weather-proof home for their tools and tech. You get the security of an enclosed canopy and the versatility of an open tray, all in one tidy, blacked-out package.

Sizes, Extras and Compatibility

Prefer a bit more enclosed storage? Compare this with the longer partial canopy option in the range.

Loading, Payload and Road Safety

Adding a canopy and carrying loads changes your vehicle’s payload and how that weight must be 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.

Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer’s roof load rating or GVM.
