Important Before Ordering

Confirm your axle length, drum stud pattern, wheel compatibility and towing setup. This kit uses a 70mm tow ball coupling, not a standard 50mm tow ball.

Please note: This is a trailer parts kit, not a complete trailer. Chassis, wheels, tyres and electrical wiring are not included. The completed trailer must meet applicable Australian requirements. Individual component ratings do not determine the certified rating of the finished trailer or safety-chain assembly.

Our Brisbane team can help you select compatible axle lengths, stud patterns, electric brakes and towing components for your trailer build.
