The Ford Ranger Security Canopy: Fortifying Your Ford Ranger for Ultimate Protection

RMA Automotive South Africa specialises in transforming standard vehicles into purpose-built solutions – including our popular Ford Ranger security canopy modification – leveraging 15 years of technical expertise and a state-of-the-art facility in Silverton, Pretoria. As part of the global RMA Group, we combine rigorous QVM and ISO processes with innovative design to deliver modifications built “Africa tough.”

 

Introducing the Ford Ranger Security Canopy

Our Ford Ranger security canopy adapts the proven Police Canopy design to the Ford Ranger platform, offering lightweight yet heavy-duty protection. Crafted from rust-resistant steel, it meets stringent SAPS specifications, ensuring that occupants remain secure even in high-risk scenarios. Key features include rear-mounted benches, integrated interior lighting, and a lockable access door with secure mounting points for light bars. Precision engineering guarantees seamless fitment on both single- and double-cab models without compromising payload capacity.

 

Core Protective Elements

  • Rust-Resistant Steel Construction: Ensures longevity in harsh African climates.
  • Secure Seating: Rear-mounted benches fitted with seat belts to safeguard detainees or security
  • Enhanced Visibility: Roof-mounted light bar points and interior LED illumination for operations after dark.
