Our comprehensive trailer fleet consists of the following configurations:

  • Flat Top
  • Flat Top Drop Deck
  • Tautliner
  • Tautliner Drop Deck
  • Dry Vans
  • Refrigerated Vans
  • Freezer Vans
  • Refrigerated Tautliners
  • Fluid Tankers
  • And More

Most of these trailer types are available in single, b-double, b-triple or road train configuration. Local delivery fleets are in place at all branches throughout our Australia-wide network.
