Why Choose a Steel Canopy for Your Ford Ranger?

A purpose-built steel canopy enhances security and durability. Our security solution, adapted for the Ford Ranger chassis, employs rust-resistant, lightweight steel that combines toughness with corrosion protection—ideal for law enforcement and private security operations. Precision engineering ensures seamless integration with both single- and double-cab models, preserving payload capacity while adding a fortified compartment.

Key Features of Our Security Canopy

  • Rust Resistance: Galvanised steel construction resists African elements, minimising maintenance.

  • Heavy-Duty Security: Compliant with SAPS specifications, it provides a formidable barrier in high-risk scenarios.

  • Integrated Benches and Lights: Rear-mounted seats with seat belts, interior illumination and mounting points for light bars ensure safe, well-lit transport.

  • Secure Access: Lockable doors with reinforced frames maintain compartment integrity against unauthorised entry.

RMA Automotive Proudly Sponsors a Home at SOS Children's Village

SOS Childrens Village

Pretoria, 4 June 2025 – RMA Automotive, specialists in vehicle modifications, is proud to announce its commitment to corporate social responsibility through a three-year sponsorship of a home at SOS Children’s Village, Mamelodi. This initiative reflects our dedication to making a meaningful impact in the lives of children who are in need of a loving family environment.

SOS Children’s Villages has been a beacon of hope for children living in difficult circumstances across eight provinces in South Africa, providing loving homes through a family, a village, education and a supportive environment for children and youth who have lost parental care.  For more than 40 years, SOS Children’s Villages in South Africa has been providing alternative care and child protection services to over 700 children in our villages, and over 4500 children in our Family Strengthening Programme (FSP). Our FSP interventions for children are aimed at equipping families to better care for their children, so that complete family breakdown is avoided, so that no child should grow up alone.

Brendan Londt, Country Manager of RMA Automotive South Africa, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We believe that our sponsorship aligns perfectly with our core values. Endurance is one of our guiding principles and we are in it for the long run. Supporting SOS Children’s Villages allows us to contribute to the welfare of up to eight children in the home we are sponsoring, and we look forward to making a positive impact in their lives.”

As we embark on this journey with RMA Automotive, we invite everyone in our community to join us in supporting the children, where we can help build a brighter future for the youth of South Africa”, stated Nqabakazi Gina, National Director of SOS Children’s Villages in South Africa.

Founded in 2007, RMA Automotive is part of the global RMA Group and is located in Silverton, Pretoria. Our state-of-the-art facility specializes in designing, engineering, and building customized vehicle modifications and solutions for the mobility market across the African continent.
