1650mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy – Black

Get the best of both worlds: lockable, weatherproof storage up front and open tray space out back. The 1650mm Long Flat Plate Partial Canopy (Black) is purpose-built for tradies and tourers who carry long loads but still need their valuable gear secure and protected. Its shorter, “partial” footprint covers part of your dual-cab tray, leaving the rear open for ladders, timber, pipes and oversized items a full canopy simply can’t accommodate.

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

Why Choose a Flat Plate Partial Canopy

A partial canopy is the practical middle ground between an open tray and a full canopy. You keep tools, tech and valuables locked away behind two sealed doors, while the open rear section handles the long or bulky loads that won’t fit inside. For tradies who switch between site work and hauling materials, it’s the most versatile setup on the market — and the blacked-out flat-plate styling looks the part too.

Loading, Payload and Road Safety

Adding a canopy and carrying loads affects your vehicle’s payload and how that weight must be secured. Before you load up, it’s worth understanding 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 modification requirements.
• State road authorities such as Transport for NSW and VicRoads publish state-specific rules on vehicle loads and modifications.

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