Norweld is transforming mining fleets with its reliable ute tray and canopy solutions.

Norweld, a certified Australian Made and owned company with over 50 years of expertise, is revolutionising the fleet sector with its commitment to manufacturing excellence, superior quality and nationwide customer service.

As mining companies seek durable, future-proofed fleet tray and canopy solutions, Norweld has emerged as a premium choice.

Understanding a fleet’s unique needs

Recognising the individual challenges of each fleet, Norweld prioritises understanding the specific demands and requirements of its customers.

Norweld national fleet manager Shannon Moyle told Australian Mining that the company has a customer-centric approach.

“Norweld is committed to its discovery process to understand our customer’s needs,” Moyle said.

“Whether discussing fleet build specifications or strategies to reduce vehicle downtime in case of mishaps, we understand the importance of maximising operational efficiency.”

Norweld’s existing fleet customers have played a pivotal role in shaping their current fleet range, instilling confidence that their solutions meet both current and future requirements.

One of their valued customers shared how Norweld’s fleet solutions have been instrumental in addressing their recruitment challenges, giving them a competitive edge.

According to the customer, the high-quality Norweld builds enabled workers to better conduct their work, which bolstered staff retention.

“This showcases just how valuable Norweld fleet builds are across different industries,” Moyle said.

Unmatched durability and reliability

“With over 50 years of fabrication experience, Norweld’s heavy-duty utility vehicle (ute) tray and canopy solutions come with a lifetime guarantee against faulty workmanship, surpassing typical vehicle changeover cycles fivefold,” Moyle said.

In a harsh environment like a mine site, durability is everything. That’s why Norweld builds its ute trays and canopies to hold fast against weather, heavy loads, and all the bangs and scratches of everyday business on a mine site.

Tray and canopy solutions

Norweld fleet tray packages are available to suit most common four-wheel-drives in the Australian market including dual-cab, extra-cab and single-cab variants.

“Featuring fully welded, one-piece floor and independently engineered mounts, Norweld trays are renowned for their ruggedness and ability to withstand years of off-road corrugations,” Moyle said.

“Norweld can also relocate factory fitted on-board technology which makes for a turn-key, trouble-free start to your Norweld fleet experience.

“Whether you require a full-time canopy solution or need the flexibility to remove and change your canopy to accommodate work requirements, Norweld has you covered.”

For those needing secure yet accessible storage, Norweld half canopies provide dust and water-resistant storage along with open tray space, ideal for supervisors and mine workers during longer transits between job sites.

Norweld also offers its heavy-duty fleet gullwing toolboxes which provide versatile storage solutions. These feature a unique back wall design that maximises space, excellent for the hands-on workers requiring adaptable modular or heavy-duty fixed drawer storage options.

Local support, national reach

Durability, functionality and quality are three of the four principles driving Norweld. The last piece of the puzzle is national reach. With eight branches in key locations around the country, the company provides local service backed by national support to keep busy fleets on the roads.

“At Norweld, our commitment doesn’t end with the sale,” Moyle said. “We believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers, supporting them every step of the way.

“From initial consultation to ongoing support, we’re here to ensure your fleet operates at peak performance, driving your business forward.”

As mining companies seek durable fleet solutions, Norweld emerges as a top choice. The company’s expertise, high-quality manufacturing, and versatile range of ute tray and canopy solutions for vehicle fleets are helping to keep industry wheels turning.

“More than just a tray and canopy manufacturer,” Moyle said, “Norweld is your partner in success.”
