What is standard in your canopies?
We have a checklist available on our website letting you know what features are standard. All of our canopy models are complete turn key meaning they include all features such as fridges, 12v systems, lighting, central locking, drawers, hot water systems, water tanks, water pumps, and even the kitchen sink depending on what model you choose.
Can I purchase one of your canopies if I’m not in located in Western Australia?
Yes you can, either we require you to freight the vehicle to us in WA or we can look at building you a brand new rig with the canopy of your choice and any accessories you desire. Then we can freight the vehicle completed on a truck.
How light are your canopies?
Every canopy will be different weights based on the extras that you are adding on. We are forever trying to make sure they are as light as they can be without compromising structural integrity.
Comparing weights isn’t always like for like as we provide you with a final weight and our canopies are complete turn key opposed to some other manufacturers. Our canopies will range in weight from 350KG to 600kg subject to added extras and the vehicle variant such as dual cab vs single cab.
Can I purchase an empty canopy and fit it out myself?
YES you can, our new Phoenix V2 range of aluminium lift off canopies can be purchased as an empty shell ready for you to customise to your liking. Our range of Phoenix HDPE canopies we do not offer as an empty shell.
Do you build custom canopies?
Yes we do, most of our customers like items from other models and want to include it in their canopy. Full custom does come at an extra cost so we advise customers to start with a model they like to begin with and chat to the sales team for further information. All Core off-Road products are designed in house with our engineering team. During the custom process you can come and meet or video chat with our engineering team to look at full 3D model of your canopy to ensure it is exactly what you want.
Do you make a lift off canopy?
YES, our new Phoenix V2 range of aluminium trays and canopies are lift off. The existing Phoenix Range of HDPE canopies are full chassis mount and not lift off.
Get in contact with the sales team via our contact us page with your enquiry or give them a call during business hours and one of the friendly sales team will be able to assist.
Can I remove the upright fridge and replace it with my chest fridge instead?
No, the reason why we run up right fridges is because it gives us space being to get all the cabling up into the canopy without seeing conduit everywhere.
They are also lighter than a chest fridge , you have direct access without having to slide them out and if packed correctly you wont have any issues with items falling out.
I already have a canopy, can I buy your internal fit outs?
Unfortunately no, the internal fit out is designed for our canopy, although it is likely that it can be retro fitted it is not in our business model to sell internal fit out for other branded canopies. We like to make sure our customers who purchase a Core Off-Road Phoenix canopy get that exclusive product only opposed to seeing a lesser version with the same internal fitout.
Can I transfer my canopy onto another vehicle?
The short answer is yes, but our toolboxes and subframe are made for that specific vehicle so as long as the chassis hasn’t changed on the new vehicle you are purchasing it would be okay. Otherwise some new components will need to be made for it.
Do you offer a boat loader package?
Yes we do, however we do require the roof top tinny to meet certain specifications to work with our design.
Do I need a GVM upgrade for your canopies?
A GVM upgrade will depend on the current weight of your vehicle and whether or not you plan to be towing anything behind you. We do say at a minimum you will need an upgraded leaf pack to cater for the extra weight you are putting on the back of the vehicle, but it is advised to obtain a GVM upgrade which Core offer inhouse as an additional extra.
Do you offer accessories also?
Yes we do, we offer a full range of items from suspension, wheels, tyres, bull bars, winches, recovery, lighting, roof racks and list goes on and on to complement your canopy.
I am new to the 4x4 scene and I am not sure what I need, can Core assist?
We highly recommend to give our knowledgeable staff a call or pop into our showroom to meet our team. We can provide you with all the information need.
