4 Common Ways Of Modifying Custom Ute Trays For Maximum Utility

A tray that is fixed to the back of a UTE after modifying it, as per the requirement is known as custom ute trays. Many models are fixed with a factory-made, while others would opt for getting it tailor-made. Many engineering houses have regular size trays while others manufacture trays according to customer’s preference. The custom-made trays are according to the model and make of the UTE, and desired function of the tray.

You can get your trays customized with extra attachments such as aluminium tool boxes for caravans, ladder racks, drawers, accessories, hardware and more. Customizing these trays offers a perfect fit and design to your UTE. The owner can sit with the professionals and discuss their requirements and expectations. This would help the technicians to make a unit that would not only match the expectations but also serve the purpose as well.

The most common features that the owner wishes to include are:

• Meshed headboard: This safety feature is installed for the vehicles to protect the rear window. Generally, aluminium or steel is used in making of this mesh. It could be of great help while travelling in the wild and for a few businesses.


• Easy to climb in: Few UTE owners wish to include steps so that it would be easy for them and others to climb in easily. The steps can be on all corners or only on one side, the choice is completely for the owner to decide.  One can use a set of mini-steps or just a simple frame for climbing up.


• Gripping surface: Most of the Ute trucks have checker plate flooring which provides extra grip on items and allows less penetration of water. The checkered floor also protects people from slipping when they are in the tray.


• Rings to tie: Depending on the size and application of the tray, rings are fixed for strapping. One can also ask for tie rails, which gives them the flexibility to strap at any place.

People can opt for one or more modifications. If they wish they could ask for others as well. But it is important for them to discuss with the manufacturers.
