Tradie Trailer FAQs
What’s the most important thing to consider when buying a tradie trailer?
The most important thing to consider when purchasing a tradie trailer is durability. A good tradie trailer needs to hold up under daily use, often in harsh conditions. Look for hot-dipped galvanised steel for rust protection, solid welds, and a frame that’s built to last. Suspension matters, too, so make sure it’s rated for heavy loads. And don’t overlook the floor. Checkerplates or other hard-wearing materials are your best bet to hold up over the long term.
How important is load capacity when it comes to tradie trailers?
With tradie trailers, load capacity is always important. Your trailer needs to handle the combined weight of your tools, gear, and materials safely and legally. Check the ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass), tare weight, and axle ratings to work out the payload capacity. It’s also worth double-checking your vehicle’s towing limits before you commit.
What should I look for to keep my tools and gear secure in my tradie trailer?
When it comes to keeping tools and gear secure in a tradie trailer, security features make a big difference. Lockable compartments, heavy-duty latches, and underfloor storage help protect your gear, especially if you’re leaving your trailer on-site or parked on the street. Built-in tie-down points are also handy to stop things shifting around on the move. For extra peace of mind, some trailers include central locking or can be fitted with a cage. Luckily, Big Man tradie trailers come with a range of these options.
Does a tradie trailer's layout really make a difference?
The layout of tradie trailers generally does make a difference depending on your situation or even profession. But in general, a well-organised trailer will help you stay efficient, especially on busy jobs. Features like shelving, slide-out drawers, and roof racks make it easier to find what you need quickly. If you’re working with heavier equipment, ramps or tailgates can save your back. Weather protection is also key; enclosed compartments or covers help keep tools dry and in good shape, preventing unnecessary wear and tear and saving you money in the long run.
Are there any legal requirements I should know about before purchasing a tradie trailer?
Most trailers require some degree of legal compliance. Trailers need to meet Australian Design Rules [ADRs] and be registered and insured in your state or territory. It also needs working lights, brakes, safety chains, and the right tow ball weight for your vehicle. Making sure everything’s compliant means less hassle down the track. Always check with your state government's policies for specific legal guidelines.
How important is rust protection?
Extremely. A tradie trailer is exposed to the elements year-round, and rust can shorten its lifespan fast. Hot-dipped galvanising provides excellent protection, and powder coating adds another layer. Giving it a rinse every now and then helps too, especially if you’ve been working near the coast or with corrosive materials.
