New UteTopTM Utility Canopy for Ute Bed®
The perfect utility combination for many tradesmen or delivery applications.
Ute Ltd, working with GemTop of Clackamas, Oregon, has produced a new utility canopy that works with our aluminum flat beds. This first prototype is mounted on a Colorado/Canyon Ute Bed. The sides and headboard are removed for ease of access and to save weight.
All three sides open for easy access to any point of the 6 foot by 7-1/2 foot bed. Doors all have stainless locking handles and gas struts. Windows, ladder racks, shelves, bins and tie-down tracks can all be added as options - the perfect utility combination for many tradesmen or delivery applications -- electricians, plumbers, glass installers, pest control, auto parts delivery, just to name a few. No need to go through the tailgate to access large items such as generators, welders or large packages. Heavy items can be loaded behind the cab just as easily as through the tailgate.
Ute TopTMwith optional windows and tool drawer.
Consider adding an under-body tool drawer. This fills the area behind the license plate and provides a SECURE storage area for smaller items such as wire spools and flat toolboxes. It has a usable space of about 5 feet in length by about 2 feet wide and just over 4 inches deep.
