Aluminium Ute Trays vs Steel Ute Tray Brisbane
If you are considering a new ute tray then most likely you will be asking yourself should I get a steel ute tray or aluminium ute trays? There are pros and cons of both and often it comes down to personal preference.
.
A major consideration is the weight of steel ute trays and also the weight of aluminium ute trays. A big argument in favour of aluminium ute trays is because they are lighter in weight they allow you to carry a greater load on the tray of your ute. This has obvious advantages both in terms of recreation and commercial applications. An aluminium ute tray will certainly allow you to pack everything including the kitchen sink when going camping or on an off road adventure. Commercially there is no problem adding the weight of heavy tools and machinery to your aluminium ute tray as your carrying capacity is increased changing a steel ute tray over to an aluminium ute tray. Just a word of caution if you do change over from a steel ute tray to an aluminium ute tray: the handling of your vehicle may be affected so please check your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines before proceeding.
Corrosion is another factor you need to consider when making the choice between an aluminium or a steel ute tray. Clearly in terms of corrosion aluminium ute trays come out the clear winner. Aluminium does not corrode, c a real benefit when considering the look and durability of your ute tray. If you are likely to take your vehicle onto the beach or live near the coast then aluminium ute trays could provide the solution you are looking for.
On the flipside, aluminium ute trays are not as strong as steel ute trays so if you are looking for strength, durability and the ability to cope with some hard yakka then a steel ute tray could be a much better choice for you.
