The Detail
Lock it down. Keep the clean look.
Turn your bare GWM Cannon tub into secure, weather-sealed storage. The aluminium slats roll back into a slimline, DGL powder-coated black canister and lock in three positions — closed, part-open for tall loads, or free-roll for full tub access. Twin built-in LED lights make loading after dark easy.
Cut specifically for the Cannon and sitting flush against the factory body lines. Fits under the factory sports bars or straight to the tub.
It's also the base of the whole Akuma system. The T-slot side rails carry 100 kg dynamic on the standard brackets, and step up to 150 kg with roller support brackets fitted — enough for a rooftop tent. Talk to our team for a tent-ready build.
In The Field
Built to be used.
Lock & Seal
3-Position LockSecure storage, sealed tight.
Aluminium slats roll down into a weather-sealed cover. Lock the tub and walk away — gear stays dry, out of sight and out of reach.
- Three-position key lock: closed, part-open, free-roll
- Full-perimeter EPDM seal keeps water and dust out
- Drainage channels route runoff away from cargo
The Canister
DGL Powder CoatCoated, not painted.
The slimline canister is DGL powder-coated aluminium — a baked-on, bonded finish that shrugs off UV, stone chips and salt, where most covers make do with a spray-painted shell. It sits low and flush, so the tray still looks factory.
- DGL powder coat — baked on, not sprayed on
- Slimline profile keeps the tub line clean
- Matte black, built for Aussie UV and heat
Lit & Loaded
Twin LED LightsLoading by light, not by torch.
Two built-in LED lights drop light into the tub the moment you need it — a detail most manual covers skip entirely. Early starts and late pack-downs stop being a fumble.
- Twin built-in LEDs light the tub
- A feature usually reserved for electric covers
- Find gear at night without a head torch
System Ready
100 KG DynamicThe base of your whole tub setup.
The integrated T-slot side rails carry 100 kg dynamic on the standard brackets — and step up to 150 kg with roller support brackets fitted. The shutter isn't the finish line, it's the foundation for racks, cross bars and a tent.
- 100 kg dynamic on the standard brackets
- Lift to 150 kg with roller support brackets
- Takes Akuma tub racks, cross bars and the K'Gari V3 tent

Straight Answers
Questions
we get asked.
What customers actually ask before they buy — fitment, security, weather, install, warranty. Honest answers, no fluff.
Fitment
Will this fit my exact ute and trim?
This shutter is cut specifically for your ute model. Trim matters though — Hilux Rogue isn't SR5, Wildtrak isn't XLT. Send us your make, model, year, and trim, and a photo of the tub from the back if you can. We'll confirm the right bracket combination before you commit.
What if my ute already has a factory tonneau?
We don't recommend replacing a factory tonneau (e.g. Hilux Rogue EGR, BT-50 SP MT-EVO). Factory units are matched to the ute's body lines and resale value. If you've got one and want more capability, look at our tub rack platform or cross-bars instead.
Security & Weather
Can someone cut or lever it open?
Aluminium 6303 slats are cut-resistant — not bulletproof, but a serious step above vinyl. The 3-position mechanical key lock holds the shutter shut at the canister; there's no exposed cable or release to lever, and no external fasteners to undo from outside. Most break-in attempts move on to softer targets.
Does it actually keep water and dust out?
Yes. Full-perimeter EPDM rubber seal plus integrated drainage channels that route water out through hoses under the ute, not into the tub. Tested across the Top End wet season, Tanami corrugations, and daily highway use.
Use & Load
How much can it carry on top?
100 kg dynamic on the standard brackets — plenty for awnings, recovery gear and everyday loads while you're driving. Going heavier, like a rooftop tent? Add our roller support brackets to lift the rating to 150 kg dynamic. Talk to our team and we'll spec the right setup for what you're carrying.
Can I run it partly open for tall loads?
Yes. The 3-position lock includes a partial-open setting so you can carry tall items (jerry cans, gas bottles, etc.) and still lock the tub. Free-roll position lets you push the shutter all the way back into the canister.
Install, Warranty & Shipping
Can I install it myself, or do you fit it?
Both. The kit ships with full instructions, all brackets, hardware, drainage hoses and a vehicle-specific bracket set. Fitting does involve some drilling — drainage outlets for the seals, and on some utes the brackets fix to the tub lip where there are no factory mounting points. It's all covered step-by-step. Handy with a socket set? It's an afternoon job. Or bring it to the Brisbane workshop — manual shutter fitting is $499. Lead time normally within a week for in-stock parts.
What does the warranty cover?
24 months structural — slats, canister, mechanism, lock, brackets. Covers manufacturing and material defects under normal use. Doesn't cover damage from impact, modification, or unauthorised disassembly. Warranty claims go through your order details by email or phone.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Local Brisbane pickup is free. AU-wide freight goes to your nearest transport depot for collection — door delivery available at extra cost. See the full shipping policy for state-by-state estimates.
