Off-Road Trailers
An off-road trailer is built to go where the car goes: higher clearance so the chassis does not hang up, heavier springs and shock absorbers for corrugations, mud-terrain tyres, and a coupling rated to articulate on a track. We build off-road box, cage and camper trailers in Queanbeyan.

Common questions
What makes a trailer off-road?
Clearance, suspension and the coupling. The chassis sits higher so it does not catch on ruts, the springs and shocks are rated for corrugations rather than a smooth highway, and the coupling can twist and pivot so the trailer follows the car over a crest without binding. Tyres to match the tow vehicle help, because then the one spare fits both.
Do I need an off-road coupling?
If you only tow on bitumen and good gravel, a standard ball coupling is fine. On tracks with washouts, creek crossings or steep crests, a ball can bind or pop and an off-road coupling is the safer choice. Tell us where you go and we will recommend one.
Can my tow vehicle handle it?
Off-road trailers are heavier than road trailers of the same size because of the chassis and running gear, and a loaded one is usually over 750 kg and needs brakes. Check the towing capacity and towball limit in your owner's manual and we will match the rating.
