Love this colour. Not many like it and that’s how I’d prefer.

“Its January 2022 and our first finished build for the year. Before me, sits a blank canvas as such, and only the beginning of our clients many adventures and great memories.”

Say G’day to our new workshop!
We are expanding and have just acquired a second premises right next door to our current workshop. -in the same industrial complex. With our business taking on more work and bigger builds we are taking the leap and getting into our own in-house mechanical and suspension work, servicing and maintenance exclusive to our clients full vehicles builds only.
We’re also installing a 45sqm paint booth to assist in our quicker turn around times on our trays and canopy production.

Our latest full vehicle build, not much this thing doesn’t have.
We handled the whole project including the procurement of the vehicle all the way to handover and everything in between.
Full detailed review on our website and a just released 22min walk around video on our website!

Thanks to all involved in making this blokes dream come true - keeping as much work local and Australian made as possible. And to you Andy for being patient throughout this Cxvid bullshit and the delays that ensued.

Our latest build for a client looking to upgrade from his alloy tray to a fully decked out SE tray and removable canopy.
His kit now includes onboard air & water, 12v 200ah lithium, digital display, solar, inverter, fridge, oven, shitloads of storage and even a TV in the RTT.
Some might say people are going soft with setups like this but this blokes traveling with a family and wasn’t keen on a caravan so good for him and we were happy to oblige.
Details on our website soon.

Definitely had a few rubber necks and dropped jaws today carting this thing around on the trailer.
This is our next portal axle build on the way back to our shop to begin the massive transformation that awaits.
A long time in the making and a lot of forward planning with this build as we have a handful of new features which we can’t wait to show you so stay tuned!

About us
We live and breathe camping, touring & 4wding. Our passion is high detail, high end custom ute trays and canopies built to order from a mixture of Australian steel & aluminium.
Our trays and canopies are built by hand to the highest standard possible. We are always thinking ahead and finding ways to improve our products with innovative computer aided design and new technology through products we endorse.
At Shannons Engineering, no two jobs are the same. Our customer base varies, as do their needs. We can offer you a complete package from trays, canopies, touring set-ups, 4wd suspension, power management, bull bars tow bars, wheels tyres and accessories. Just ask us.
Our History
Established in 2004, We ran a successful business doing custom metal fabrication, working in stainless steel, aluminium and steel, we have been the most versatile metal shop working with builders, architects, homeowners, landscapers, tradesman, councils, and even the ADF.
Challenging every job that came through the door has given us a great satisfaction and knowledge using a wide skill set and a vast variety of materials but the time had come to reinvent ourselves & follow our dreams and become a household name in custom ute trays and canopy scene.
Since then, we made the choice to give up the daily grind of general fabrication and follow dreams making high-end custom ute trays. Building ute trays led us to making canopies and now, we have become predominantly full touring vehicle builders of the all popular, 79 Series Toyota LandCruiser and with each build better than the last we look forward the future and where this vision will take us.
