Description
Safety and shelter are critical aspects to living life on the road. In more ways than one, a good canopy should combine these elements in a way that is not only easy to use, but also adaptable to change.
Back in the 1990s, when we started building the first-ever aluminium adventure canopies, we knew from our own travel experience that three factors are vital to the success of vehicle-based travel and/or overland equipment. These are weight, strength and versatility.
The trick is to find a solution that offers the best combination of all three. Until engineers start building passenger planes out of fibreglass or stainless steel, we’re going to stick with the material that offers the best possible (and most economical) strength-to-weight ratio: Aluminium.
But, aside from the obvious strength / weight benefits, we favour aluminium for its unsurpassed corrosion-resistance, its UV stability, its repair-ability, and its flexibility – essential qualities in any off-road environment.
- Alu-Cab canopies are CAD designed to ensure consistency and quality.
- Tig welded aluminium extrusions. Aluminium alloy construction for superior strength-to-weight ratio. 100% recyclable.
- Aluminium sheet CNC laser-cut and bent. Up to 40% lighter than competing steel canopies. Naturally UV stable and corrosion resistant – will never rust (even if scratched).
- Centre flex, water proof hinges prevents rainwater dripping into the canopy when the doors are open
- Reliable, tamper-proof and keyed alike. Automotive safety glass, E-marked.
- 3-door opening and full-length side doors (on DC) for maximum canopy access
- Approx. 57 kg for DC Canopy one of the lightest canopies of its kind, two people can easily lift it onto the load bin.
- No-drill fitment on most modern vehicles. Fitment brackets fasten to manufacturer’s load points on the load bin. Recommended fitment time 20 – 30 minutes by one person.
- High quality Gas Struts made in Germany.
- One can load 150kg directly on to roof. Includes built-in roof rails for the fitment of load bars, a roof rack, awning, solar panels or a rooftop tent
- Mounting Rail fitted on canopy roof as standard. Can be used with M8 cup square bolts, tie down rings etc.
- The canopy is delivered ready to fit to the vehicle, no need to assemble.
- Canopy is waterproof.
- A tried and trusted canopy since 1999
- Pioneered design and the first-ever aluminium adventure canopy made
- Preferred canopy for the 4×4 rental fleets
