Tips to Choose the Right UTE Trays

Whether you are purchasing a new UTE or refurbishing an old one, you may want to customise the rear side of your vehicle to add value to it. While some come with a pre-installed tray, others come with a bareback that you must equip with the tray of your choice. Whether you carry fruits or vegetables, camping gear, livestock or construction equipment in your UTE, the tray that you choose can really make a difference. 

Few Tips that you Can Use to Choose the Most Suitable UTE Trays:

Material: A UTE tray can be made up of alloy, steel, and aluminium. The one that you choose largely depends on your personal requirements and lifestyle. Aluminium UTE trays are cheap and light in weight, steel ones are tough and strong, and alloy ones are physically attractive. You need to choose the one according to the type and weight of the things you would carry in it, and your own personal preferences. For instance, the robust structure of steel makes it ideal for carrying heavy equipment, construction goods, and industrial material.

Size: The size of the UTE tray that you choose largely depends on the size of your UTE. Apart from that, the tray should be big enough to easily accommodate all the items that you need to carry in your vehicle, but it should not be too big to waste space and add extra weight. Sometimes, you may also decide to get customised UTE trays made to satisfy your needs and expectations.

Quality: Whatever size and material you choose; its quality matters a lot while making a final selection. The durability of the tray will largely depend on the kind of material used in its manufacturing. Since readymade trays may not be made up of best quality materials, most buyers buy a UTE with bareback and get their tray made on order. By doing this, you can get the best quality tray as per their individual requirements and preferences.

Type of goods to be carried: The type, shape, and size of goods you would be carrying in the tray largely influence your selection of UTE trays. You would want to keep your material safe during the transit. So, the shape and size of the tray should be adequate to accommodate your goods safely and properly.

Installation: Give attention to the installation process while selecting a UTE tray. You need to be more attentive towards this aspect if you are planning to install the tray on your own. Since it is large and heavy equipment, you may need the help of a couple of people while installing it. Before purchasing one, talk to the manufacturer and find out the complete installation process of the tray. However, if you are not sure, you should take help of a professional to do the installation in the right way.

Resistance: Steel trays are durable, but they are heavy and tend to rust over time. If you are going for steel trays, make sure that they are rust proof. Since water tends to collect between the UTE and the tray, you also need to make sure that it is water resistant. Apart from that, it should have a certain degree of weather resistance as well.

Supplier: You need to keep the reputation of the supplier as well while buying UTE trays. They should be known in the market to manufacture durable and high-quality trays only. You should give attention to their customer service as well. They should offer good after-sales service to their customers so that you can contact them in times of need. Some suppliers also offer free installation of the tray with their purchase.

Now that you are buying UTE trays for your asset keep these things in mind so that you can be proud of your decision later.
