MRT X-Series Chassis Mount Canopy: Changing the Game, Forever

In an industry often hampered by high costs and limited innovation, MRT is rewriting the rules. The X-Series Chassis Mount Canopy embodies our decade-long dedication to research, development, and design—delivering peak performance at a never-before-seen price point. From lighter weight and advanced locks to integrated tech and streamlined space utilisation, the X-Series ushers in the future of Australian ute canopies and service bodies.

 

Designing the Future: Affordability Meets Innovation

We’ve spent years perfecting our manufacturing process and assembling a world-class design and engineering team. The result? A canopy that combines modern technology with user-friendly features—without the hefty price tag. Our goal is to continuously lead this transformation so that affordability, quality, and innovation unite in one exceptional product.

Lighter Weight, More Room for Features

Traditionally, you’d mount a canopy on an existing tray, which acts as the main support. With the X-Series, we’ve reimagined the process. Instead of using a tray floor, this chassis mount system includes an engineered, integrated canopy floor, offering:

• Reduced overall weight, easing the strain on your vehicle’s payload.
• Extra space for additional features unique to the X-Series range.
• Optimised storage arrangements for better efficiency and convenience.

 

Advanced Locking System

Security is paramount in the X-Series canopy. Our patented, three-stage locking system provides slam-shut locking and finger-pull opening, combining:

• Single-Handle Convenience – A single enclosed handle helps maintain a tight dust seal.
• Enclosed Mechanism – By avoiding cutouts on the floor, we eliminate potential jamming issues from loose items rolling around.
• Enhanced Safety – Prevents loose cargo from interfering with the locking components, giving you peace of mind on bumpy roads.

 

Flush Flooring

The X-Series features flush flooring that removes the need for sub-floors. This design carries over to both side doors, creating a seamless, level surface from the canopy’s base. No space is wasted, and you gain:

• Easy Access – Full reach from floor level up, making storage compartments and gear loading straightforward.
• Clean, Uninterrupted Interior – No awkward bumps or gaps, so you can arrange your cargo however you see fit.

 

Keyless Entry System*

For even more convenience and security, consider our patent-pending Keyless Entry System, which allows you to lock and unlock all canopy doors with one remote. Perfect for tradespeople juggling tools or adventurers keen to secure camping gear on the fly, this system streamlines how you interact with your vehicle.

 

Internal LED Lighting*

Each canopy door includes an LED strip light with a two-colour system:

• Cool White Light – Perfect for illuminating your workspace or interior when visibility is crucial.
• Orange Light – Ideal for evenings, as the orange glow helps deter bugs while still providing enough illumination.

Every door comes with its own LED switch, so you have full control over your lighting setup.

Flared Mudguards

Australia’s roads (and off-roads) come in all shapes and terrains, so we’ve included flared mudguards in 45mm, 65mm, or 85mm protrusions per side:

• Compliant Coverage – Ensures your wheels and tyres meet Australian legal requirements.
• Built Tough – Made from 3mm heavy-duty aluminium, offering durability and a stylish finish.

Anderson Out*

For those who rely on 12V accessories or plan to integrate a dual-battery system, our premium convenience package includes an internal 12V Anderson plug output rated at 40A. This straightforward connection point lets you:

• Link Directly to Vehicle Battery – Ideal for powering fridges, lighting, or other accessories.
• Simplify Future Upgrades – If you decide to install a dual-battery system later, the canopy’s power setup can integrate seamlessly.

X-Series Tailored Under Tray Toolboxes*

Exclusively designed for the X-Series, our under tray toolboxes match your ute’s make and model for a sleek, unified appearance:

• Advanced Locking – Utilises the same locking system as the X-Series canopy, integrating with the Keyless Entry System.
• Streamlined Design – Maintains the canopy’s aesthetic, ensuring you don’t sacrifice style for practicality.

 

A New Level in Adventure

The X-Series canopy isn’t just for tradies and daily drivers—it’s also perfect for those seeking off-road thrills. Built to handle rugged environments without compromising on performance, it merges cutting-edge innovation with affordability, opening doors to unforgettable outback journeys.

Tech Specs at a Glance

• Gas Struts – Smooth door operation, even in challenging conditions.
• 2.5mm 5052 Marine-Grade Aluminium – Strong and corrosion-resistant, ready for Australia’s harshest climates.
• 60x30x2.5mm RHS Internal Bracing – Allows up to 300kg static weight and 150kg dynamic weight on the canopy roof.
• Full-Length Stainless Steel Piano Hinges – Robust and long-lasting.
• Extra-Thick Rubber Dust Seal – Superior protection against dust, dirt, and debris.
• Water Deflector Seal – Keeps rainwater out, safeguarding your gear.

Better Space Utilisation

No more fighting with raised sub-floors or cramped door openings. The X-Series design grants 765mm of door clearance inside the canopy—enough room to install larger items such as a Bushman 130L upright fridge. By starting at floor level, the X-Series maximises every inch for practical, efficient storage.

Integration with MRT Packages

If you’re looking to maximise versatility, the X-Series canopy can be paired with one of our popular MRT packages, each geared towards specific needs:

• Tradesman Package: Ideal for professionals needing secure, organised storage for tools and materials.
• Initiator Package: A balanced option for those new to canopy setups, offering a solid blend of functionality and adaptability.
• Explorer Package: Perfect for extended off-road excursions, with extra provisions for camping and adventure gear.
• Companion Package: A comfort-focused solution that comes with options like a fridge setup, cooking spaces, and more.
