Selecting The Appropriate Truck And Trailer For Any Task by gp008: 8:23am On Jun 01, 2023
Freight transportation in Australia is dominated by trucks due to their low operating costs, adaptability, and speed. Getting your hands on a truck trailer is simple, and you can rent one for as long or as little as you need it, but how do you know which one would be best for your next project?
Below is a summary of the most important aspects of each category, along with suggestions on when to use them.

Truck trailer
Two-axle drawbar trailers are a great option for towing heavier loads or transporting a variety of cargo. They are designed to hold a 20-foot container and have safety measures like twist locks for locking it in place.
This trailer has a low drawbar and walk boards, making it convenient for loading pre-packed containers, equipment, general plant, and other items. Our truck trailers are the best option if you need a flexible and cost-effective service.

Extendable trailer
Extendable trailer trailers may not be long enough for your cargo, so you may want to look at extensible trailers. These open trailers may often be extended up to 80 feet, allowing for more cargo capacity without compromising on vertical clearance.
To adjust the trailer's length, just remove the locking pin, set the trailer's brakes, and drag the trailer's front end with the truck's forward momentum until the trailer is at the desired length.

Side tippers
Side tipper trucks are widely used in the building and farming sectors because they offer a safe and efficient way to discharge huge quantities of loose freight. A side tipper may be used to dump cargo over obstacles and maneuver smoothly in confined locations, making it ideal for transporting gravel, grain, or garbage from a site.
Side tippers are safer than end tippers because of their design and lower center of gravity. You can also know about our Merchandise trailer here.

Tautliner trailer
Tautliners, also known as curtainsiders, are a special kind of flat-bed trailer that have curtains permanently attached to each side. A curtainsider is a versatile trailer option that can carry everything from palletized freight to loose items. They can be loaded and unloaded quickly and simply from the truck's sides or rear, and they have greater storage space than dry vans at a lower rental cost.
