Bushtech: toughest canopies in New Zealand

4WD Accesories

Bushtech aluminium canopies offer unrivalled capability on the world market, and now among the best canopies available in New Zealand.

Bushtech canopies feature superior quality of build and finish. Super-premium powder coats are applied and the canopy frame is hand-finished to perfection, with tig welds made to appear seamless.

Bushtech earned its reputation years ago, producing aluminium canopies proven on off-road ute fleets operating in the ultra harsh landscapes of Africa. With 25 years automotive engineering experience, Bushtech builds the strongest aluminium canopies ever offered to the New Zealand market.

Load tested to an incredible 2.5 tonnes(!) a Bushtech aluminium canopy effortlessly carries loads that would cause other canopies to crack, yet is lighter than plastic/fibreglass canopies!

Bushtech’s 300kg dynamic load capacity is by far the highest in NZ, backed by a Manufacturer’s 10-year frame ‘no cracking’ guarantee.

Huge side door access
The benefits of class-leading frame strength become even more apparent when comparing the size of the side door access. The gullwing side doors on a Bushtech canopy are some of the biggest on the market; up to twice the size of those found on fibreglass/plastic and bolt-together aluminium or stainless steel canopies. This hugely transforms the usefulness of the whole vehicle.

Overland builds and dust proofing
With years of experience developing canopies for off-road/overland use in Africa, Bushtech is justifiably proud of their proven dust proofing capabilities. High-quality rubber seals and specially reinforced door bracings resist high frequency vibrations that ordinarily encourages dust ingress when driving corrugations and rough gravel roads. Bushtech tailgate and wellside dust sealing kits are available for most makes/models

Introducing the new X-Series tray and Canopy
Bushtech’s latest major development: the new X-Series tray and canopy is coming to New Zealand.

Having passed extreme durability testing on the African continent (a much tougher proving ground!) Bushtech’s X-Series tray and canopy is set to quickly become established as one of the very best of its kind in NZ.

XpeditioNZ is building an X-Series show vehicle on a Hilux, complete with a full Bushtech internal fit-out. This vehicle build will showcase what is achievable using the very best brands now available on the NZ market, including superior roof tents and awnings from South Africa. Come and check it out at expos around NZ in 2024, or get in touch to request a viewing.
