HARIOOur brand

The name HARIO comes from the founder’s two children, Harper and Mario. Just like raising his own children, our founder believes in giving HARIO the very best foundation, care and resources to grow into something truly special.

Built on experience

Nearly 20 years. Two businesses. One idea.

Before HARIO, our founder built two successful businesses from the ground up in the ute canopy and toolbox industry.

01
Toyota-like value

Arrow Toolquip

Built around a simple idea: reliability and value that tradies can count on, at a price that makes sense.

02
Ferrari-level craft

M2O

A local Australian manufacturer that took a different approach, focusing on craftsmanship and quality through local manufacturing.

03
Both, together

HARIO

Years of experience, trusted industry relationships and manufacturing know-how, combined to bring Ferrari quality and Toyota value into one product.

What if we could bring the quality of a Ferrari together with the value of a Toyota?

Common questions

About HARIO

Who owns HARIO?

HARIO was started by the founder of Arrow Toolquip and M2O, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the ute canopy and toolbox industry. The name comes from his two children, Harper and Mario.

What does UTE HARIO make?

Aluminium ute service bodies, ute canopies, ute trays, roof racks, slide drawers and ute accessories, with fitment for 10 popular utes including the Toyota HiLux, LandCruiser 79, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.

Where is UTE HARIO located?

1/51-53 Hallam South Rd, Hallam VIC 3803, in Melbourne's south-east. Open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:30am to 1:00pm. Phone 1300 56 56 11.

UTE HARIO

We believe a great product should speak for itself. Word of mouth, genuine customer satisfaction and long-term trust mean more to us than expensive advertising.

We’re not here to become the biggest overnight. We’re here to build something we’re proud of, something our customers can rely on, and something that will stand the test of time.

HARIO. Built with care. Backed by experience. Made to be trusted.
