Built Tough. Made to Work. Designed for You.

At Balamara Mechanical, we don’t build trays that just look good, we build trays that cop a beating, carry their weight, and last the distance.

Whether you’re a tradie, a farmer, or just need a ute setup that actually does what you need it to, we’ll custom build a steel tray to suit your vehicle, your gear, and how you work.

Why Choose a Custom Steel Truck or UTE Tray

✔ Stronger than standard alloy trays
✔ Customised to your load, layout & tools
✔ Longer lifespan & better resale value
✔ Designed for WA conditions, not city showrooms
✔ Made locally, built properly

No cookie-cutter kits here. Just solid welds, smart design and bloody good steel.
