About Buffalo

Sam Anderssen started Buffalo Equip in 2009 after noticing a gap in the market for heavy duty Ute trays in Queensland. Quickly outgrowing the first few premises, Buffalo settled in the current location at 6 Harvest Road Yandina on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

The expansion in factory size allowed for the employment of more local fabricators and the ability to offer canopies, lock boxes, dog crates and on-deck tool boxes to meet the growing needs of our customers.

Leading the industry for innovation and practical designs, Buffalo continues to go from strength to strength without losing its focus on letting the customer, You, build Your tray or canopy Your way.

Many factory supplied trays are off-the-shelf bolt together trays made out of a lessor grade alloy. Some use riveted plastic hinges which can deteriorate over time and heavy use. Buffalo trays use a minimum 3mm marine grade alloy and are fully welded for strength and durability.

The main advantage of a Buffalo tray over the vehicles Ute tub is the carry space. The standard dual cab Buffalo tray is 1900mm wide and 1800mm long. Some popular models are increasing their stance to allow a 2000mm wide tray. This alone can give you up to 500mm in width or more and 300mm in length usable carry space.

The second advantage a Buffalo tray offers over a Ute tub is more storage options. On the deck we can install a full-size canopy or a mini canopy. There is the option of having a lock box or dog crate. For tradies we have our heavy-duty on-deck tool boxes. Under the tray we can install a trundle drawer or extra water or diesel tanks because there is room between the tray and the chassis and we can mount tool boxes at the back for extra storage.

The third advantage is that a Buffalo Tray is a lot stronger than the factory tub that comes with most vehicles without the extra weight that comes with a steel tray. It takes a very hard impact to ding a Buffalo tray with the fully-welded construction and reinforced sub frame.

The fourth advantage is we can customise your tray build to suit you. Longer, shorter, thicker deck, work light mounts, removable canopy…whatever you require, if it can be done, chances are Buffalo can build it for you. Get in contact today to discover more.

Yes, they can. In fact, over 75% of our customers want their new Buffalo build to be painted or powder coated to match their vehicle. Whether you prefer one colour, two-toned, or a combination of raw alloy and your vehicles colour, we can finish off your build to give you the exact look you are after.

Yes, we are and proud of it. Established in 2009 we quickly outgrew our original first few premises and made the move to our current location in Yandina where the business has gone from strength to strength. Built on the foundation of providing a great product, with great service at a fair price and we like to support other Australian companies where possible.

This is entirely up to you. If your vehicle arrives with a tub or tray, we will remove it for a small fee. If you would like to take it with you, bring 4 pallets when you drop the vehicle off for fitting so we can load your old tub or tray back onto your vehicle on the new tray. If you don’t want to take the tub home, we will dispose of it.
