Specification
Asymmetrical Canopex® Half-Open-Centre Service Body with Structured Storage, Long-Item Handling, Electrical, Safety, Recovery and Field-Support Systems

RXI completed this Ford Ranger Super Duty fit-out around the demands of utility field work, combining organised tool storage, long-item transport and integrated safety systems within one heavy-duty vehicle platform.

At the centre of the build is a 2550mm asymmetrical Canopex® half-open-centre service body, designed to keep tools and equipment organised, secure and easy to access. Adjustable shelving, small-parts storage, underbody lockers, ladder holders, conduit carriers and load-restraint systems create dedicated storage zones, while integrated lighting, warning systems, digital controls, water provision, an awning, compressor, bull bar and winch add practical field capability. Together, these features turn the Ford Ranger Super Duty into a well-organised mobile workspace built to support technicians working across varied site conditions.

Requirements:
Utility field vehicles need to carry tools, long equipment, safety gear and specialist hardware without sacrificing access or load control. For this build, the requirement extended beyond storage to include ladder and conduit handling, structured small-parts organisation, warning systems, work lighting, recovery equipment and practical operator-support features. The solution also needed to integrate these systems with the Ford Ranger Super Duty platform and Energy Queensland-specific electrical and storage requirements.

The RXI solution:
RXI fitted the Ranger Super Duty with a 2550mm asymmetrical Canopex® half-open-centre aluminium service body with manual gullwing access. The fit-out combines adjustable shelving, small-parts trays, underbody storage, ladder and conduit carriers, cargo restraint and a pull-out access step with integrated lighting, digital switching, warning systems and recovery equipment – creating a structured field-service platform around the vehicle.
