Rubberising for Bakkies – Professional Bin Protection You Can Trust
Is your bakkie’s load bin exposed to wear, rust, or damage from heavy cargo? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Rubberising—also known as poly lining, bakkie lining, or Rhino lining—is the ultimate way to protect your vehicle’s load area and maintain its value.
At Midrand Canopy Centre, we specialise in high-quality, professionally applied rubberising that delivers both durability and a clean, rugged finish. Whether your bakkie is for business, leisure, or both, we offer a long-lasting solution you can count on.
Why Rubberise Your Bakkie?
Rubberising is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. It provides critical protection and functionality for daily use in tough environments.
Key Benefits:
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- Prevents scratches, dents, and surface damage
- Reduces load movement during transport
- Enhances resale value by preserving your bin
- Adds a clean, professional look to your vehicle
Our Rubberising Process
We follow a detailed and proven procedure to ensure optimal results:
1. Surface Preparation
The metal load bin is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure proper bonding. This is a critical step often skipped in low-quality jobs.
2. Masking
The rest of the vehicle is carefully covered to protect it from overspray.
3. Application
A high-pressure polyurethane coating is sprayed evenly across the bin to create a seamless, durable layer.
4. Finishing
Once cured, the rubber is trimmed for a neat, factory-style edge and polished for a clean look.
Turnaround Time:
Most rubberising jobs are completed in 4 to 5 hours, depending on the vehicle size.
Rubberising Thickness Options
Choose the level of protection that suits your needs:
- 3mm Thickness – Ideal for light to standard use
- 5mm Thickness – Heavy-duty option for industrial, off-road, or commercial use
Vehicle Compatibility
We can rubberise a wide variety of vehicles, including:
- Half-ton, one-ton, and two-ton bakkies
- Trailers
- Panel vans (e.g., Ford Transit, VW Crafter, and others)
- Fleet and custom commercial vehicles
Finish and Appearance
We use the popular “Water Look” pattern, known for its durability and slip resistance. This finish offers both function and style—perfect for work-ready and adventure-ready vehicles.
All materials used are SABS-approved and tested to handle extreme conditions.
Important Usage Notes
- Avoid using sharp tools like spades, picks, or metal scrapers directly on the rubberised surface, as this may void your warranty.
- Be cautious of DIY kits or low-cost jobs that skip critical steps—these often fail within months.
- We use only premium-grade chemicals from trusted suppliers to ensure a superior finish and long-term protection.
Warranty
We stand by our workmanship. Every rubberising job includes a 1-year warranty, giving you complete peace of mind.
