Canopy Drawers & Slide-Out Drawer Systems

RolaCase canopy drawers give you secure, slide-out access to tools and equipment stored at the base of your ute canopy. Built from powder-coated steel and manufactured in Australia since 1982, our canopy drawer systems are designed for tradies who need their gear organised, protected, and easy to reach without climbing into the back of the vehicle.

Whether you need a single drawer unit for compact storage or a full-width dual drawer setup for heavy-duty trade use, our range is modular and can be combined with shelving, cabinets, and bin systems to create a complete canopy fitout.

Types of Canopy Drawer Systems

We manufacture several canopy drawer configurations to suit different vehicle sizes and trade requirements:

• Single Drawer Units — Compact slide-out drawers that fit alongside shelving or cabinet kits. Ideal for storing power tools, battery packs, and hand tools in a secure, organised layout. Cabinet dimensions from 419 x 460 x 547mm.
• Dual Drawer Systems — Side-by-side or stacked drawer configurations that maximise the floor space of your canopy. Available in multiple widths up to 839mm. Pre-assembled and ready to install.
• Full-Width Drawer Setups — Span the entire base of your canopy for maximum storage capacity. Designed for trades that carry a large volume of tools and parts across multiple job sites.
• Drawer and Shelving Combinations — Pair drawers at the base with shelving on the sides for a complete canopy storage system. This is our most popular configuration for electricians and plumbers who need both quick-access shelving and secure drawer storage.

Why Trade Professionals Choose Canopy Drawers

Security: Canopy drawers keep your tools enclosed and out of sight. When combined with a lockable canopy, your equipment is protected from theft on worksites and overnight. This is especially important for trades carrying high-value power tools, testing equipment, and specialised instruments.

Organisation: Every drawer can be divided and configured to hold specific tools and parts. No more digging through loose items in the back of the ute. With a structured canopy drawer system, you know exactly where everything is, which saves time on every job.

Ergonomics: Slide-out drawers let you access tools at waist height instead of reaching into the back of a deep canopy. This reduces strain on your back and shoulders, which matters when you are loading and unloading multiple times a day across different worksites.

Durability: Our drawers are built from powder-coated steel with heavy-duty drawer slides rated for trade-level loads. They are engineered to handle the vibration, dust, and constant use that comes with daily trade work in Australian conditions.

Canopy Drawers vs Canopy Shelving: Which is Right for You?

Both systems have their strengths, and many tradies end up using a combination of both.

Choose canopy drawers if: You carry a lot of heavy tools, need secure enclosed storage, want easy access without climbing into your canopy, or work on sites where theft is a concern.

Choose canopy shelving if: You need quick visual access to parts and materials, carry lighter items like fittings and consumables, or want to maximise vertical space inside your canopy.

Combine both if: You want the most complete ute canopy storage setup. Drawers at the base for heavy and high-value items, shelving on the sides for quick-access parts and daily-use tools. This is the configuration most of our trade customers end up with.
