THINGS TO KNOW

 
 

Standard Dimensions
Sizes are described as length x width and are traditionally quoted in feet. Our standard size trailers, with internal metric dimensions, are as follows:

6'x4' (1760mm x 1200mm)
7'x4' (2060mm x1200mm)
7'x5' (2060mm x1500mm), and
8'x5' (2400mm x 1500mm)

Other sizes available upon request.

Light Duty, Medium and Heavy Duty builds are available for box trailers, as well as optional higher sides (21").

For custom trailers you will need to nominate the length x width x height expressed in either metres, millimetres, inches or feet.

Floor thicknesses
Checker plate = 2.1mm
Smooth (or "hot rolled sheet") =  1.5/1.6mm

Maximum Weights
A trailer without brakes is limited to 750 KG GVM. GVM is Gross Vehicle Mass which means the combined mass of both the load and trailer.

Trailers with a tare weight of up to 254kg  (ie before a load is added) are not required to be inspected for registration renewals. Anything heavier is required to get a pink slip from an authorized inspection station.

The NSW Roads & Traffic Authority also charge a Motor Vehicle Tax of at least $94 for tare weights over 254kg. Please check out RTA website or contact us for further information.

For custom trailers you need to estimate the maximum load weight so we can determine the appropriate suspension, chassis and braking system required. Accuracy here is critical, as repairs to a damaged trailer due to overload can often exceed the cost of  appropriate strengthening at the manufacturing stage.

For enclosed trailers, you need to specify where your entry points are to be located as well as the style, eg. lift up door, drop ramp, side swing door etc

Registration
Registration is available on-site to all NSW licence holders. As RTA ANVIS (Authorised New Vehicle Inspection Scheme) dealers  we are able to take care of all areas of the registration process in around 10 minutes. No need for you to go to the RTA.

For private use a current NSW Drivers Licence is required.

For business use we require an RTA Customer Number issued with a purchase order on a business letter-head showing all business details. Also required is evidence of incorporation - eg a Certificate of Incorporation showing ACN number.

Registration fees vary depending on the type of use for the trailer, as well as the weight and carrying capacity.

Initial registration costs which includes stamp duty, plate fee and dealer fee, start from $120 Private use, followed by a $55 renewal fee.

These prices are subject to change without notice.

Depending on the weight of your trailer, a pink slip may be required for renewal purposes.

No annual inspections are required for registration renewals of our standard single axle, un-braked box trailers.

The sizes are 6x4 13" & 21", 7x4 13" & 21" 7x5 13" and 8x5 13" .
