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.
