The ModCAP is a modular canopy-to-camper system. It starts as a standard canopy and adds sleeping, storage and kitchen modules over time. Suits owners who want to grow their setup progressively without replacing the entire unit.
The Canopy Camper Deluxe is a complete canopy camper unit with integrated rooftop tent, built-in awning, dual colour LED lighting, pre-wired solar input, USB-C charging and Molle storage plates. It carries a 50kg rooftop load rating and suits Australian ute owners who want a complete touring setup in one unit.
The Khaya Camper is a drive-off camper used by safari fleet operators worldwide. It mounts to the tub without vehicle modification and suits owners who need a self-contained camp setup they can leave at a site while using the vehicle separately.

About Alu-Cab
Alu-Cab originates from South Africa where the brand develops products for real safari and overland use. Products go through sustained heavy daily testing in African terrain, dust, heat and corrugations before reaching the Australian market.
The brand builds every product from aluminium rather than fibreglass or canvas. Aluminium gives Alu-Cab products a higher strength-to-weight ratio than fibreglass alternatives and better long term durability in Australian conditions. Safari fleet operators worldwide use the Alu-Cab range. Every product handles sustained heavy daily use, not just occasional weekend trips.
Alu-Cab sells products exclusively through the authorised dealer network in Australia. Buying alucab accessories from an Alu Cab authorized dealer in Newcastle like Opposite Lock Cardiff confirms your product is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty.
Why Newcastle 4WD Owners Buy Alu-Cab Products at Opposite Lock Cardiff
Newcastle's Only Local Alu-Cab Dealer
National online retailers ship Alu-Cab accessories Australia-wide but cannot advise on fitment for your specific vehicle, demonstrate products in person or install items at a local workshop. Opposite Lock Cardiff is the only Alu Cab accessories dealer in Newcastle with a physical workshop where buyers can see products, discuss their setup and confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Local Alu-Cab Fitment Advice Before You Buy
Every Alu-Cab product has fitment requirements: roof rack load ratings, mounting rail spacing, canopy compatibility and vehicle-specific fitting kits. Buying from a local alu cab authorised dealer in Newcastle means our team confirms all of this before your purchase. Buying online without advice risks purchasing an incompatible product.
Genuine Alu-Cab Products and Local Warranty Support
Every Alu Cab accessory we supply is genuine and sourced directly through the Alu-Cab Australia distribution network. Full manufacturer warranty covers every product. If something goes wrong after installation, you deal with us locally in Newcastle rather than managing a freight return to an online retailer.
