Your ute tub isn't a handbag. It's a workshop.
Built for tradies, by tradies — designed and made in Australia.
The TubMate Middy is the TubMate slide built for smaller areas — two full-size Packout boxes on a 1155mm, 3mm stainless steel frame. Same slides, same stainless steel, same full-extension access, sized to fit the tubs and trays where a full-length slide will not go.
Made to order in Australia — please allow 4–6 weeks for production.
Every TubMate is fabricated to order, one at a time, from 3mm heavy-duty stainless steel. That is how we build something that outlasts the ute it lives in. We will email you a production update as soon as your slide goes into fabrication.
Will it fit your ute? Check in 3 steps
- Measure your tub floor — the length and the width between the wheel arches.
- Check it against the Middy's 1155mm length. More room? The Ute Slide (1415mm) or XL (1705mm) carries more. Tighter? The Mini (845mm) is the compact option.
- Not 100% sure? Send us your ute make, model and a photo of your tub and we will confirm the right size, and the right hand, before you order.
Suitable for most major ute manufacturers — and TubMate also suits vans and trailers.
Left or right hand?
Standing in front of the tub: choose Right Hand Opening and your Packout boxes clip in from the right, or Left Hand Opening for the left. If you are not sure which suits your setup, tell us and we will match it.

Right or Left?
Right Vs Left Hand Side
The Right-Hand-Side and Left-Hand-Side variants determine which side of the Tubmate the Packout boxes attach to and the direction the front of the Packout will face.
When standing in front of the Tubmate:
- A Right-Hand model allows the Packout boxes to clip in from the right side of the slide.
- A Left-Hand model allows the Packout boxes to clip in from the left side of the slide.
