Inside a Free-X canopy: aluminium extrusion frame and floor

THE PLATFORM

Engineered like our trailers

Free-X is built from high-strength aluminium extrusions, designed in CAD and checked with FEA. It bolts together with no welds. T-slots along the sides take dropsides, canopies and camper units; underneath they take storage boxes, mudguards, light boxes, trundle trays and a water tank. Everything bolts on and comes off without drilling.

Why it beats a factory bin or a steel deck

Takes what a bin can't

A flat floor for pallets and flow bins, or dropsides for loose loads.

Side boxes that work

On a single cab: gas cylinders, recovery gear and lashing straps.

Between the chassis beams

Room for a trundle drawer or a water tank.

No rust, no welds

Aluminium resists corrosion; bolted modules mean a damaged section is simply replaced.

Light where it matters

Matches or beats a factory bin's weight, and is lighter than a steel deck.

Grows with you

Start with a deck, add a canopy or camper later.

Lead time: 4–6 weeks to build, plus about 2 days to fit.Compact canopy: priced for a Land Cruiser 79 load bin. Other sizes and bakkies are possible; ask us for a price.
