SMARTER DESIGN | LIGHTER BUILD | BETTER PERFORMANCE
Built For Efficiency, Designed For Operators
We have combined engineering expertise, innovative design and quality materials to produce side tipping trailers built for demanding work environments. The chassis and bin designs incorporate high-strength, lightweight steels to optimise payload, durability and performance – delivering a trailer that works hard without adding unnecessary weight.
Engineered For Your Operation
Whether you’re moving aggregate, agricultural products, forestry materials or other bulk loads, our side tipping trailers are designed to deliver reliable performance, efficient handling and long-term value.
Operators assure us that our side tipping trailers are very simple to set up and fast to load, well-balanced for towing, and that the clean up is fast and simple.
Engineering Architecture
- Simple, straightforward set-up – easy operator integration
- Fast loading and unloading cycles – increasing your productivity
- Excellent balance and towing performance – safe, confident road handling
- Lightweight, robust construction – reducing tare mass to increase payloads
- Quick and easy clean-up – less downtime

The Why and the How
We were approached to develop a new method of transporting fertilizer, grain and similar bulk products by road to farms and industrial locations across widespread operational areas. Existing systems typically relied on centrally located conveyor-belt-fed systems and operators had identified several limitations with these systems, including slow unloading times, high maintenance costs, the need to park and uncouple additional trailers to facilitate rear unloading, and an increase in bulk runs between the unloading area and central storage locations.
Working closely with relevant transport authorities, industry partners and end-users, we progressed a formal engineering proposal from concept design and testing through to final production and advanced manufacturing.
Product development and testing was extensive, involving real-world heavy transport operators who worked alongside us to refine and improve the design. This collaborative process, supported by many years of investment, engineering expertise and practical testing, has resulted in the product’s current configuration. The finished solution is now recognised as an effective solution that improves operational efficiency for spreading and bulk material transport operators.
