Claims we can stand behind

Built for the routes that break gear

Welded aluminium, clamped to the tub with no drilling, on continuous dustproof hinges. It has crossed Botswana's floodplains in the wet, taken Kalahari corrugations for days at a time, crossed Namibia and come home to Johannesburg for its service. Voetspore carries it as an expedition partner. Australia is a new market for us. The canopy is not.

Highlights

Every detail is the point

Continuous hinges, sealed for dust
Full-length hinges and door-mounted automotive-grade seals, on the door and not the frame, keep bulldust out on corrugations. The whole canopy is pressure-equalised through a valved vent.
A frame that carries your whole setup
Slotted internal and external roof rails take M8 bolts anywhere along their length. Rooftop tent, solar, spare wheel: the tested rooftop capacity is 2,500 kg static.
Gullwing doors, gas-shock assisted
Both sides and the rear open at once, so the whole tub is in reach instead of the first arm’s length of it. Toughened front and rear glass, large pressure-lever locks on UV-stabilised rubbers, and gas struts that hold a door open one-handed with gloves on.
A subframe the whole range clips into
Cupboards, drawers, tables and ammo box systems slot in and out of the subframe in seconds. No drilling, no permanent brackets. Fit it out now or years from now; the mounting is already there.
No drilling. It comes off clean.
The canopy clamps to the tub rather than bolting through it, so nothing is cut and nothing is drilled. Pre-cut wiring holes take your 12V through without a hacksaw, and a custom suspension base rubber absorbs chassis flex instead of passing it into the frame.
Welded, not folded
Seamless welds at every corner, a serial badge on every build. Each canopy leaves the Johannesburg factory as a numbered unit, carrying a 5-year transferable frame warranty and a complimentary annual service for those five years. Transferable, so it follows the ute when you sell it.

In the wild

Where it has already been

Kalahari corrugations, Botswana mud, Namibian roads, the Karoo in August. Expedition frames, not studio ones: every canopy in these was built in Africa and driven there on its own tub.
