At Australian Performance Boxes, we know that when it comes to working the land, time is precious and gear needs to be practical, rugged, and easy to use. That's why our Aluminium UTV Trays and matching Dog Boxes are designed not only to withstand some of the harshest environments Australia can throw at them, but also to be quick and simple to fit. There's no better way to demonstrate this than through one of our own—Tylen Wallace—who recently walked viewers through the straightforward process of installing our UTV Dog Box in this latest YouTube Short.
If you missed the video, or want all the tips and details in written form, this blog post will take you through each step, highlight the user-friendly engineering behind our system, and show why our tray and box combo is quickly becoming a favourite among hunters, campers, farmers, and anyone who needs dependable, customisable utility in the back of their side-by-side.
Why the Australian Performance Boxes UTV Tray?
Before diving into the installation, it’s worth acknowledging the backbone of the system—the Australian Performance Boxes Aluminium UTV Tray. Built for hard work and tough terrain, these trays are much more than a flat platform to bolt things onto. They provide a versatile foundation for whatever your outdoor life demands:
- Ultimate Durability: Engineered using aluminium RHS construction and a fully-welded frame, these trays are tough enough to take a beating on the backroads of Australia—and have been extensively tested there.
- Generous Dimensions: With a size of 1200mm long, 1550mm wide, and 950mm high, you get practical storage and workspace.
- Functional Features: The full-length tie-off rail ensures you can secure loads of any shape or size, from swags to toolboxes.
Introducing the UTV Dog Box
When you want to take your working dog or furry mate out with you—whether for mustering, hunting, or camping safety is paramount. That’s where our UTV Dog Box steps up. Crafted from robust aluminium with 40x40 SHS internal framing, it’s able to withstand both rough terrain and the energetic movement of bigger breeds:
- Spacious and Secure: At 600mm long, 1550mm wide, and 950mm high, the Dog Box allows your dog to sit, lie down, and move comfortably.
- Smart Access and Safety: Both doors are equipped with twin gas struts for smooth opening and closing, and whale tail compression locks provide tamper-proof security and weather-tight sealing.
