Hi ,
Here's why a steel canopy over plastic or fibreglass is a good idea and why the famous SMM steel canopy should be among or at the top of your list...
Arguably one of the best canopies currently available in Australia, the SMM V2 canopy features a high roof to maximise loading capacity and it harmonises perfectly with the contours and shape of the vehicle. The TL1 canopy is the latest in design technology, It offers just about all the benefits of the V2, plus aerodynamic styling.
The pricing on both styles is excellent:
- V2: $3450 for mechanical lift-up, $3650 for full electronic.
- TL1: $3550 for mechanical lift-up, $3750 for full electronic.
- Fitting: Normally $500. Until 30th April, only $250 at all OCAM stores.
SMM canopies are manufactured from high-quality automotive steel using the same steel pressing processes as your vehicle's manufacturer. They are designed for maximum strength, durability and security. Paralleling the manufacturing process of vehicle manufacturers not only makes the SMM canopy unique and superior among canopies, but it ensures the finish is a perfect match with your vehicle.
Some of the benefits when comparing the SMM steel canopies to the plastic or fibreglass competitors:
- SMM achieves a higher level of robustness and stability
- 150Kgs dynamic, 450Kgs static weight capacity without additional supports taking up space
- A true tailgate with framed glass. Plastic canopies offer only a single glass section without a frame
- The handle and key lock of the SMM steel canopy are mounted in the steel frame, compared to mounted in the glass which is prone to cracking. Especially during off-road driving.
- Improved dust and weather resistance using cover-rail technology
- No colour fading. ABS and Fibreglass have a higher colour absorption rate than steel and are guaranteed to result in colour fading. In some cases within months. Most certainly faster than steel. The wear of the SMM steel canopy over the years will match the wear of the vehicle's body. You don't end up with 2 varying colours due to the differing materials.
Standard inclusions with the SMM canopy:
- tinted lift-up side and rear windows
- sliding window to the front
- rear window demister
- auto central locking to the rear for the mechanical model; to the rear and both sides for the electronic model
- third brake light
- strong pressed galvanised 0.8mm steel shell and frame
- secure twin rotary door locks
- durable roof rails (load capacity 150 kg dynamic / 450 kgs static)
- integrated LED lighting
- vinyl lining
- EPD dip coating for optimal protection against corrosion, just like your vehicle's panels
- colour-coded baked paint
Added benefits of SMM steel canopies:
- The highest volumetric space and window opening area when compared with competitor brands (V2)
- High-quality rubber seals
- Automotive tempered safety glass
- Aluminium C - Clamp attachment (no drilling)
- Weighing in at 85 kgs net, you get maximum payload.
Plus, with the Sammitr 3-year / 100,000klms manufacturer's warranty, you can be sure you're investing your hard-earned well.
