All Terrain Fabrications

All Terrain operated 4WD safari tours throughout the western half of Australia for 20 years. During that time, we designed and built our own tour vehicles specifically for maximum passenger comfort and convenience, whilst still being durable and reliable enough for the rugged and often difficult conditions in the bush. We now specialise in low-volume vehicle manufacture, including the custom-design and construction of 4WD tour vehicles, motorhomes, camper trailers and specialised bodies such as the ‘RFDS on the Road’ vehicle.
