Ten years ago, Canero Industries began as a fabrication company in Orange, NSW. In the early years, they did general welding and fabrication work, but it wasn’t long before they spotted a unique opportunity — ute trays and canopies were starting to gain traction. At the time, no one else in Orange was offering this service at scale. Canero dove in headfirst Jayden explained, carving out a niche that they have been refining and expanding ever since.
What started as a sideline offering quickly became their specialty. Today, Canero Industries is known for producing some of the most durable, highly customised, and intelligently designed trays and canopies in the business. With a focus on quality Australian-made solutions and in-house design and manufacturing, they’ve built a name on innovation, practicality, and longevity.
Built for the Bush — and Beyond
Canero’s core clientele includes touring industries and commercial operators who demand equipment that can handle remote, rugged conditions. From outback road trippers setting off around Australia to commercial users in mining and agricultural sectors, Canero designs every fit-out to meet the unique needs of the end user.
Their mining and commercial builds include modular storage, secure compartments, fridge and tool integration — practical solutions tailored for long-distance or work-heavy environments. But what really sets them apart is their ability to take a customer’s concept and turn it into a fully functioning reality.
The Rencon Partnership
The relationship between Canero and Rencon Air & Land began when Rencon’s fleet manager Brad, went on the hunt for a team who could deliver the level of customisation needed for their aerial operations. After trying a few other places with no luck, Rencon discovered Canero — and it clicked. Over the past two years, that partnership has grown into a tight collaboration grounded in trust, flexibility, and innovation.
“Rencon came to us with very specific needs for vehicles that could support drone pilots working in remote bushland. We worked together to bring those ideas to life,” Canero explained.
Since then, Canero has built a wide range of custom solutions for Rencon, including:
- Canopies and trailers designed to house large agricultural spray drones
- Onboard charging stations for batteries and laptops
- Custom tool storage and field workshop setups
- Vehicle configurations tailored for land management, aerial spraying, and fire response
From Idea to Implementation
What makes Canero so successful in these builds is their approach: everything starts with an idea. Rencon’s team brings the concept — “Can you build this?” — and Canero takes care of the rest.
Every tray and canopy is designed using advanced software by their in-house draftsman. Once approved, the team begins manufacturing — all under one roof in Australia. This tight process not only guarantees quality control but also gives customers full visibility and input along the way.
Canero aims for a quick turnaround for design approval depending on their customer’s needs and potential ideas along the way, followed by 3–4 weeks for manufacturing and fit-out.
Proven Products, Trusted Craftsmanship
After a decade in the game, Canero has seen it all — and they have used every lesson to refine their offering. Their trays and canopies are made to last through years of harsh conditions and can even be transferred from one ute to the next — outlasting 2–3 vehicles in their lifetime. That kind of longevity makes them a smart investment for any business or individual working in demanding environments.
Their reputation has grown thanks to one key principle: they listen. Canero continually improves their builds based on direct feedback from customers, taking small suggestions and turning them into long-term product improvements. “Our products today are the direct result of years of experience and client collaboration,” they explain.
A Partnership That Evolves
The relationship between Canero and Rencon continues to thrive because both companies value flexibility, performance, and trust. As Rencon takes on new projects, faces new challenges, and expands its operations across Australia, Canero is right there, delivering custom-built solutions without compromise.
“There’s no limit to what we can do with our builds — and Rencon knows that,” says Canero. “They bring us the vision, and we bring it to life.”
