- We Make more ourselves Avoid future headaches by choosing Hidrive. We'll listen to your needs and build a solution that is fit for your purpose. Choose from our range of premium, 100% Australian-made service bodies and over 190 accessories.
- Tailored DESIGN Functional, inside and out, top to bottom. Benefit from our experience tailoring our modular system for every industry since 1993, across 21,000+ vehicles and counting!
- MODULAR SYSTEm Make certain everything is going to fit. Make certain your national fleet is consistent and safety compliant. Make certain your team can jump into any fleet vehicle, instantly find everything and operate in a compliant manner.
- Space Saving Don’t assume all service bodies in the market have proper or practical load restraints. It’s one of our biggest priorities. Operate safely, avoid complaints and headaches in the field by choosing Hidrive.
- GVM complianT Ensure your fleet has the flexibility to legally carry the maximum payload from day one. Nobody ever regrets getting a GVM upgrade - as over the life of the vehicle, there will be times you’ll need the extra payload. It also helps you maintain optimal traction of the front wheels, a legal roadworthiness safety compliance checkpoint. Hidrive bodies are light, which also increases available payload. Boosts resale values as it maximises the number of buyers that will consider your vehicle.
- TRIPLE ISO CERTIFIED When you choose Hidrive, you’re ethically sourcing from the first Australian manufacturer of service bodies to gain ISO certification in ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environmental and ISO 45001 Safety. Don’t risk being let down by your supply chain —go with Hidrive!
- FLUSH FLOOR SYSTEM Is safety your #1? With no floor lip, you avoid breaking/pinching fingers when pulling items out. Also enables slide-out drawers and benches to be at floor level for optimum working height and zero wasted space.
- WEATHERTIGHT With the seals on the doors (as opposed to the entrance), there’s zero risk of cutting/scratching the rubber seals when loading/unloading. Damaged seals let water and dust in. Avoid years of re-ordering replacement seals.
- 190+ ACCESSORIES Hidrive is Australia’s most comprehensive one-stop service body shop. We fit bullbars, towbars over 190 other accessories. We even do signage and branding! Avoid the headaches and delays of sending your vehicle to multiple suppliers. In the years to come, have one contact point for all your warranty, parts and service needs. Avoid confusion over who did what with your fleet.
- Your Branding You get what you pay for. With Hidrive FleetBrand that means maximum durability, a professional finish and eye-catching designs. Our FleetBrand team offer high impact signage and wrapping for your fleet so you'll create a great impression, every time.
- National Support Network As part of our service commitment to our customers, we have a preferred national repairer network. If you need smash or panel repairs, our Customer Care team can refer you to a preferred repairer to carry out the work.
- Lightweight & Robust Don’t risk your image, safety, resale value or the hassles of cracking and leaks caused by torsional stresses imposed into the service body structure. We’ve earned a reputation since the 1990’s of having the stiffest sub-frame chassis structure at the lowest possible weight. This means that many Hidrives are still structurally looking like new after 15+ years and 1000’s of kilometers.
- CENTRAL LOCKING Secure your tools and equipment with the click of a button. Don't risk your expensive gear and stock by inadvertently leaving a door unlocked. Central locking is worth every cent.
- Safe Work HeightHidrive service bodies are within the safe work height limit for most multistorey carparks and vehicle facilities, ensuring your vehicle can conveniently and safely get where it needs to go.
- 2K COLOUR MATCHED Our in-house paint facility and vehicle manufacturer-grade paint ensures your fleet looks world-class and maximises re-sale value.

Benefit from the expertise we’ve gained from manufacturing over 23,000 service bodies since 1993.
Modinex trusted Hidrive to design and manufacture a fleet of premium, fit-for-purpose ute service bodies for the sales team.
One of the reasons why mechanics join and stay at EMS is the gear we get to use, especially the vehicles. We couldn’t be happier with the Hidrive service bodies on our trucks and utes, they’re so much easier and safer to work with.
As a professional who relies on my vehicle to get the job done, having everything I need at my fingertips is crucial. Thanks to Hidrive’s attention to detail and expertise in customisation, my service body is not only durable and reliable, but it’s also designed to meet my unique needs. Great quality, great product & great service!
As a field mechanic for John Deere, having a reliable and fully customised service body for my Ford Ranger is essential to getting the job done efficiently. That’s why I turned to Hidrive, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s simply fantastic!
Canberra Pest Control has had Hidrive build all our new vehicle service bodies for the last 3 years. The quality of the product is second to none and the after-sales service continues well after the vehicles are delivered. I highly recommend Hidrive and will continue to use their products and services for many years to come.
“In my opinion they are leaders in their field when it comes to the quality and durability of their product, technical expertise, national coverage capability, competitive pricing and account management. They also provide strong after sales support and warranty work without any issues.”
Leave no doubt
Yes, Hidrive service body ute canopies are built with a multi-fit chassis to enable transfer to another vehicle of the same chassis size, improving resale and the lifetime value of your investment. Some have been in use for over 20 years! A Hidrive on a HiLux might be transferred to a Ranger, then a BT-50, then a Navara, Amarok or a Triton! Re-use is greener than recycling!
Your dedicated Hidrive Mobile Workspace Specialist will work closely with you to design the ideal build or fleet for your needs. Once you’re completely satisfied, they’ll assist you (or your dealership or fleet manager) through the order confirmation process to make sure everything goes smoothly. Typically, we require a 30% deposit or a purchase order from an approved customer to commence our production process.
In short, yes. While no system is infallible, Hidrive’s ‘positive seal’ system has a well-earned reputation for ensure the canopy remains dust and moisture free.
Equipping your assets with high-quality Hidrive accessories ensures compatibility, warranty and in the case of the tow bar, fit with the vehicle body length.
We drop the towbar to the right height, so there’s a safe gap between the tow-ball and your service body, avoiding hand jamming injuries when attaching / detaching trailers.
Finished height will depend on several factors such as the suspension and if appropriate, any upgrade to the suspension, the height of the canopy and other factors. Feel free to chat with a member of our team to help us better understand your requirements so that we might make a fit-for-purpose recommendation and estimate of the finished height, based on our experience.
There are three service body heights: 850/900/1000mm. While 850mm is our “streamlined” service body, the 900 and 1000mm allows for greater capacity to fit larger items and bigger loads.
Feel free to reach out to our friendly and knowledgeable Mobile Workspace Experts. They’re trained to understand vehicle axle loads and GVM regulation and compliance issues.
