FAQs

TLX is part of TL Engineering, WA’s biggest and most experienced light vehicle tray and canopy manufacturer. It fabricates and fits alloy trays, canopies and accessories locally, which has many advantages. The TLX team is loaded with 4×4 users with lots of real-world highway and dirt road experience.

The high grade alloys that TLX uses are light and very strong when fabricated to commercial standards. Steel trays and canopies are just too heavy for modern 4wd vehicles which have become heavier as their features and capabilities have grown. The only steel components TLX uses are custom fabricated and painted installation mounts which bolt directly on to the chassis to receive the tray or canopy

Imported products are mass produced in batches to be cost-competitive and installed with a “one size fits all” approach. The quality of materials used is often variable which can result in shorter lifespans. TLX products are designed specifically for each vehicle using high quality materials. Design, fabrication, painting, electrics and fitting are done in one place by us so we can quality control the whole build from start to finish

We offer a wide range of finishes. You can leave your tray or canopy in the natural alloy mill finish. Or you can have a black tray with optional painted dropsides and toolbox lids. Canopies are available in mill finish, all black or painted in solid or metallic automotive colours. We use black Raptor Coat or powdercoated finishes for different parts of a black build.

We make trays for LC79s, Hilux (2005+), Ranger (PX & PY), BT-50 (2011+), DMax (2012+), Colorado (2012+), Amarok (2022+), Navara NP300 (2015+), Triton MQ (2015+) and RAMs, Silverados,and F-Trucks
