Side-by-sides are the modern workhorse—hauling gear to the back paddock in the morning and heading for the scrub or campsite by afternoon. To make your UTV as capable as your day demands, we’ve launched a purpose-built range of Tray Sides designed to integrate seamlessly with APB Aluminium UTV Trays. Whether you need containment for loose loads, fast access around a rear-mounted dog box, or a front-mounted dog box with secure rear containment, there’s a configuration to match your setup.
Every option in the range is engineered for demanding Australian conditions. We use heavy-duty 3mm aluminium for strength without unnecessary weight, stainless steel hinges and over-centre latches for reliable clamping, and a durable finish for a clean, professional look that stands up to hard use.
What makes APB UTV Tray Sides different
- Purpose-built for APB Aluminium UTV Trays for clean fitment and dependable alignment of hinges and latches.
- Modular options to suit how you run your dog box and gear—no compromises or workarounds.
- Strong hardware: stainless hinges and over-centre latches deliver solid clamping force.
- 3mm aluminium walls provide robust containment while keeping overall vehicle weight in check.
UTV Full Tray Sides
If you want maximum containment and versatility, the Full Tray Sides are the complete solution. This kit transforms your tray into a secure load space for everything from fencing equipment and feed bags to recovery gear, camping kits, and hunting loads. It’s the go-anywhere, do-anything option for owners who want their UTV to feel like a small tipper or service vehicle—without losing the agility that makes a side-by-side so useful.
What’s included
- Two full-length sides and one rear panel
- Heavy-duty 3mm aluminium construction
- Stainless steel hinges and over-centre latches
Where it shines
- Mixed-use operations that need containment one day and fast access the next
- Keeping loose materials, small tools, or uneven loads safely within the tray
- Hunting, camping, and touring where you want confident cargo security over rough tracks
Why choose it
- Maximum security and flexibility: full perimeter walls mean fewer compromises when the job changes throughout the week.
- Reliable hardware and solid panel engagement give you that satisfying, locked-in feel across corrugations and paddock ruts.
- A tidy, uniform look that complements the APB UTV Tray and the rest of your build.
UTV 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Rear)
Many UTV owners prefer to mount their dog box at the rear of the tray for quick loading and unloading. This configuration keeps the rear space dedicated to your canine companions while still giving you side containment for tools, feed, and day-to-day gear under the remaining tray area.
What’s included
- Two aluminium tray sides only (no rear panel), tailored for rear-mounted dog box applications
- Heavy-duty 3mm aluminium construction
- Stainless steel hinges and over-centre locking latches
Where it shines
- Farm and station work where dogs are frequently in and out at the rear
- Hunting and property maintenance setups that prioritise rear access to the dog box
- Operators who want side containment for gear, with the rear purpose-built for animals
Why choose it
- Optimised access: keep the rear open to the dog box while still enjoying the benefits of secure side containment.
- Simple integration: designed to sit neatly with APB UTV Trays and a rear dog box without awkward gaps or retrofit headaches.
- Clean, cohesive appearance that looks intentional, not improvised.
UTV 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Front)
If you prefer your dog box up front—closer to the cab for communication and weight balance—this option gives you side containment plus a rear panel to secure cargo behind the box. It’s ideal when you want your canine companions up front and your equipment safely packed in the rear.
What’s included
- Two aluminium tray sides and one rear panel to suit front-mounted dog box applications
- Heavy-duty 3mm aluminium construction
- Stainless steel hinges and over-centre locking latches
Where it shines
- Hunting setups that keep dogs forward and gear consolidated at the rear
- Long days on the property where balanced weight distribution and organised storage matter
- Camping and touring where the rear panel helps secure bulky items like water containers, fridges, and recovery gear
Why choose it
- The best of both worlds: dogs up front, gear locked down behind.
- Consistent hardware and finish for a factory-level look and durability.
- Robust containment at the back of the tray for rough tracks and steep paddocks.
Choosing the right configuration
- Dog box position: Rear dog box? Choose the 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Rear). Front dog box? Choose the 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Front). No dog box or mixed loads? Go Full Tray Sides.
- Access priorities: If fast rear access is essential, the Dog Box Rear option keeps that zone clear. If you need a secure rear wall for gear, the Dog Box Front or Full Tray Sides will suit better.
- Type of cargo: Loose materials and smaller gear benefit from the Full Tray Sides. Dedicated working dogs plus tools? One of the half kits will streamline your flow.
- Future flexibility: If your setup changes often and you don’t want to be limited by layout, Full Tray Sides offer the most adaptability.
Real-world advantages you’ll notice
- Faster loading: Over-centre latches deliver quick, positive engagement even with gloves on.
- Quieter, tighter fit: Properly engineered hinges reduce rattle; the clamping force of the latches keeps panels snug across rough ground.
Who it’s for
- Farmers and station crews moving between fencing, feed, and dog work all day long.
- Hunters who need dependable containment for gear and a safe, purposeful space for dogs.
- Campers and tourers who want a tidy, tough tray system that stands up to corrugations and weather without adding unnecessary weight.
The bottom line Your UTV should adapt to the way you work and unwind, not the other way around. That’s why the APB UTV Tray Side Range brings three focused configurations to the table—Full Tray Sides, 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Rear), and 1/2 Tray Sides (Dog Box Front). All three share the same core DNA: heavy-duty 3mm aluminium, and Stainless steel hinges and over-centre latches. The difference lies in how you run your tray and where your dog box sits.
Choose the layout that matches your day-to-day, then get out there with a setup that’s stronger, cleaner, and more efficient from sunrise to pack-up.
