What is a fleet tray?
Fleet Trades Steel Tray bodies are like all our products, built to a heavy-duty specification, ensuring they can handle the rigors of day to day use. These trays are designed to fit all light commercial vehicles including Dual and Single Cab Utes.
How heavy is a dual cab steel tray?
For example, the Dual Cab Alloy Fleet Tray from Tip Top Equipment weighs roughly 115kg, while the steel alternative weighs in at over 250kg. Given that the average Ute has a payload of 1 tonne, or over 1000kg, having a lighter tray on the back significantly influences how much you can carry.
How much does a steel ute tray weigh?
A typical alloy tray weighs about 100Kg and hence can carry a load of about 900 Kg on a vehicle with a 1 ton capacity. In contrast you can only load about 700 Kg on the same vehicle fitted with a steel tray, as the steel tray weights about 250 to 300Kg.
How much does an aluminium tray and canopy weigh?
Aluminium is much lighter than mild steel. As a general guide, a steel tray is about twice the weight of an equivalent aluminium tray. For example, in comparing HiLux trays from Toyota’s genuine accessories range, a heavy-duty aluminium tray weighs 160kg compared to 308kg for its steel equivalent.
Can any tray fit on any ute?
Yes, Size Does Matter Obviously, one of the most important factors, when choosing the correct tray for your ute, is its size. You need to make sure that it’s large enough to hold all of the tools you need to carry. However, you don’t want to waste space and you need to make sure your ute is capable of the tray size.
How long does it take to fit a ute tray?
It usually takes two hours to two days to assemble depending on how complex the design is.
How much does a steel canopy weigh?
Most dual cab well bodies are around 50 – 90kg, and then a canopy on top is around 40 – 100kg (with some weighing a lot more than this) empty. Aluminium trays are generally only about 40- 60kg, with steel ones comfortably hitting 150kg if they are very solid.
Are ute tray mounts Universal?
The TIGER range of aluminium trays feature a simple, yet effective universal mounting system, that enables our trays to be fitted to most makes and models of cab chassis.
