Light Vehicle Explosives Boxes

Australia’s First Ford Ranger Super Duty Explosive Ute, Built in Perth by TL Engineering

There’s a new benchmark in Australia’s drilling and blasting industry and it’s been built right here in Perth. TL Engineering is proud to introduce Australia’s very first Ford Ranger Super Duty single cab ute fitted with a purpose-built explosive box, engineered and manufactured 100% locally to the highest standards. This isn’t just another build. This is a step change in performance, payload, safety, and operator comfort for explosive light vehicles.

Built for the Industry That Demands More

For years, the industry has leaned heavily on platforms like the LandCruiser 79 Series, often requiring extensive upgrades, bolt-ons, and compromises to meet operational demands. Now, there’s a smarter way. The Ford Ranger Super Duty platform delivers a 4,500kg GVM, approximately 1,982kg payload capacity, factory-engineered strength and compliance, modern safety systems and driver comfort, and a reduced need for aftermarket modifications. This means less downtime, lower setup costs, and a vehicle ready to perform straight off the line.

The TL Engineering Difference

We don’t just build trays, we engineer solutions. Our explosive (blast) boxes and steel tray systems are built specifically for the harsh realities of mining and blasting operations across remote WA conditions. Every build is 100% Perth-made, designed for compliance and durability, backed by 50+ years of fabrication excellence, and finished to a precision standard that shows in the field. This is where form meets function and where reputation meets reality.
