Tradies Trailers & Utes
A tradie trailer or ute fit-out is a workshop that goes to the job: a lockable canopy with shelving and lining, a roof rack for ladders and pipe, a toolbox on the drawbar and a floor with tie-down points. We build them in Queanbeyan for plumbers, electricians, builders and anyone whose tools live in the vehicle.

Buyer's guide
The tradie trailers we build
Lift-up canopy trailers
A tandem trailer with a lockable steel canopy that lifts as one lid, so you reach everything from the side. Lined and shelved inside.
High-side and roof-rack trailers
High sides with a roof rack frame over the top for ladders, conduit and pipe, and a drop tailgate at the back.
Drawbar toolboxes and spares
A steel toolbox and a spare wheel on the drawbar, so hand tools lock away and a flat tyre does not end the day.
Tri-axle trade trailers
For the heavy end of the trade: a tri-axle chassis with a canopy and a ladder rack, rated for a full load of gear and materials.

Common questions
Trailer or ute canopy?
A trailer keeps the ute tray free and can be left on site or at home, but you tow it everywhere the tools go. A ute canopy or tray fit-out is always with you and tows nothing, but the ute carries the weight. Plenty of trades run both: the ute for the daily kit and the trailer for the big jobs. We build either.
Can you set up shelving for my trade?
Yes. Shelving, drawers, dividers and tie-down points are laid out for the tools you bring in, so each thing has a place and nothing slides around. Bring the kit when you come to talk about it.
Does a tradie trailer need brakes?
A canopy trailer loaded with tools and materials is nearly always over 750 kg, so yes, and most tandem trade trailers are rated over 2,000 kg, which means brakes on every wheel and a breakaway system. We rate the trailer to the load you describe and fit the brakes to match.
Can you fit a canopy or toolbox to my existing trailer?
Usually yes. A canopy needs the chassis and axles to carry the extra weight, and a toolbox needs somewhere to mount. Bring the trailer in and we will tell you what it can take and quote it.
