Important Before Ordering
Confirm your required axle length, wheel stud pattern, brake compatibility and intended trailer application.
This kit uses mechanical override brakes rather than electric brakes.
Please note: This is a trailer parts kit, not a complete trailer. The chassis, wheels, tyres, lights and electrical wiring are not included.
The finished trailer must comply with applicable Australian requirements. The stated kit rating does not independently establish the allowable ATM of a completed trailer.
Our Brisbane team can help you choose axle lengths, stud patterns, brake components and suspension parts for your DIY trailer build.
