What are the best semi-trailers in Australia?

Don't know about that I will not be buying one ever, seen to many break in half. They may be ok running up and down the highway between Sydney and Melbourne but when the going get tough they don't last. I know someone who had two brand new one that had to be replaced.

 

By Semi trailer i assume you mean the trailer if your talking reefers or refrigerated trailers then Peki, FTE Maxicube are the main 3 with my vote for FTE especially if your doing frozen they are by far the easiest to keep cool.

 

1 look for a strong chassis 2 good strong body 3 k-hitch or BPW axles 4 reasonable tare weight i like GTE or bruce rock engineering or hamilex white

 

the short answer would be the ones that don't fall apart!!! In this country cause our road conditions are so much rougher compared to Europe or Northern America any nut or bolt not properly fastened will come loose. It always amazed me when i drove in North American with a 40 ton load for 900 miles and opened the back doors to find the whole load had not even moved an inch and that's without side boards or any bars holding the back 2 pallets. In Australia you'd have to put boards between pallets and behind pallets otherwise you have stuff all over the place when you got to your final destination. As far as Trailers go if you want to move frozen goods FTE is about the best on the market however there also the most expensive as well, that's why alot of shilled freighters have the cheaper reefers like Peki.
