What We Do
We live and breathe camping, touring & 4wding. Our passion is high detail, custom ute trays and canopies built to order from a mixture of Australian steel & aluminium.
They are hand built by us and painted locally to the highest standard possible. We are always thinking ahead and finding ways to improve our products with innovative computer aided design and new technology through products we endorse.
At Shannons Engineering, no two jobs are the same. Our customer base varies, as do their needs. We can offer you a complete package from trays, canopies, touring set-ups, 4wd suspension, wheels and accessories. Just ask us.
Our History
After 15 successful years in business doing custom metal fabrication, working in stainless steel, aluminium and steel, we have been the most versatile metal shop working with builders, architects, homeowners, landscapers, tradesman, councils, and even the ADF.
Challenging every job that came through the door has given us a great satisfaction and knowledge using a wide skill set and a vast variety of materials but the time has come to reinvent ourselves & follow our dreams and become a household name in custom ute trays and canopies.
The hardest part about this transition is having to say goodbye to some of our most loyal customers who have been with us from the start. We’ve made some pretty cool stuff over the years and met some great people, but unfortunately sometimes to move forward in business, to open new doors you have to close a few.
