Plant & Custom Trailers
This is the page for the trailer nobody else will build. A carousel ride on a tandem chassis, a display trailer with fold-out panels, a gantry on wheels, a service wagon for a miniature railway: if it needs to move and nothing off the shelf fits, we draw it, fabricate it in Queanbeyan and register it.

Getting a quote
What we need to quote a custom build
- What it has to do, in plain words, and where it will be used.
- The machine or equipment it carries: make, model, weight and dimensions, or a sketch.
- What you tow with, and its towing capacity.
- Anything it has to meet: site rules, event requirements, a particular finish or signage.

Common questions
How does a custom trailer build work?
You tell us what it has to do. We talk it through, draw it up and quote it. Once you say go, the chassis is built first, then the body and fittings, and you are welcome to come and see it part way through. It is plated and inspected before handover, ready for you to register.
Can you build a trailer for a machine or an excavator?
Yes. Plant trailers are rated to the machine, with the deck, ramps and tie-down points placed for it. Give us the make and model, or the weight and track width, and we will size the trailer and the axles.
Is there a limit to what you can build?
The road rules set the limit: the national code we build to covers trailers up to 4.5 tonnes fully loaded, with width and length limits. Within that, if it can be fabricated in steel and towed, we can build it. We will tell you early if an idea runs into a rule.
Do you do the registration?
Every trailer we build leaves with its compliance plate and we are a licensed provider of NSW and ACT registration inspections, so the first inspection is done in the same workshop that built it.
