Bushtech Aluminium Canopy for Toyota Hilux SR 2016 to Present
Engineered in South Africa • Proven Worldwide
10-Year Manufacturer Frame Guarantee
Bushtech canopies are built around a fully welded aluminium frame — the structural foundation that delivers strength, weather resistance, and dust sealing that bolt-together aluminium canopies and fibreglass designs simply cannot match. This welded construction also allows for much larger side door openings.
Originally developed in South Africa for the world’s harshest environments, proven globally, and now trusted by NZ new-vehicle dealerships, Bushtech is NZ’s strongest and most dust-proof aluminium canopy.
Despite offering NZ’s class-leading 300 kg dynamic load capacity, a typical Bushtech canopy weighs only ~65 kg — lighter than many plastic, fibreglass, or NZ-made aluminium alternatives.
Central locking kits available.
Wellside dust-sealing kits also available for maximum dust control.
Key Advantages
✓ Welded Frame Construction
Bushtech canopies are engineered as a single welded structure — not an assembly kit. This produces a much stronger canopy, with bigger side door openings, as well as class-leading weather and dust sealing. Arrives fully constructed — no assembly required — thanks to its welded one-piece frame.
✓ NZ’s Strongest Canopy - 300kg Dynamic Rating
Bushtech canopies have been load-tested to 2.5 tonnes static. It’s expedition-grade engineering.
This strength provides:-
Confidence with rooftop tents, trades gear, and platform racks
-
Long term performance and sealing that remain consistent over time
✓ Superior Dust & Weather Sealing
Dust ingress is one of the most common issues with canopies in New Zealand.
Bushtech addresses it through:-
A 20 mm suspension-rubber base that isolates the canopy and ensures dust resistance, even in off-road settings
-
Internally braced doors that resist distortion
For maximum dust control, pair with the Bushtech wellside dust-sealing kit.
✓ Larger Gullwing Side Access
Thanks to the welded frame, Bushtech offers much larger side openings than bolt-together canopies can support.
This provides:
-
Faster access to tools or camping gear
-
Better use of internal space
-
Stronger, cleaner sealing. Door-mounted automotive seals - not on the canopy frame
-
A more practical setup for trades and touring
✓ Premium Fit, Finish & Daily Usability
Bushtech canopies are recognised for their long-term durability and quality. Close a Bushtech door from one corner and you’ll feel the difference immediately — minimal flex, no rattle:
-
Hand-finished TIG welds
-
Premium powder-coat finish
-
Locks and struts mounted to internal bracing, not thin door skins
-
Roof-rack-ready with reinforced tracks included
-
OEM-grade build quality trusted by NZ new vehicle dealerships
-
For Serious Overlanders and Hard-Working Tradies
Bushtech is engineered for people who rely on their canopy:
-
Overlanders appreciate the strength, rigidity, dust control, and lightweight design.
-
Tradies appreciate the access, durability, and maximum security.
Bushtech delivers expedition-grade performance and long-term durability, with welded-frame engineering around 50% stronger than the nearest competing canopy. Despite this strength, Bushtech is priced significantly below many NZ-made premium aluminium canopies — without any compromise in materials or build quality.
