POPULAR TRAILER MODELS
Our Range of Semi-Trailers for the Perth Market
So, what are semi-trailers? They are large, freight-carrying vehicles designed to be attached to a truck via a fifth-wheel coupling. Unlike full trailers, semi-trailers do not have front wheels of their own and rely on the truck for support and movement.
They come in various sizes and types, such as flatbeds, dump trailers, etc. See below for the full range that can be found at FWR:
- Single Axle: These trailers are ideal for lighter loads and short-distance transport. They are easy to manoeuvre, fuel-efficient, and suitable for small businesses or local delivery operations.
- Tandem Axle: Built for heavier loads, the double axle trailer offers greater stability and durability, making them suitable for long-haul freight, construction materials, and equipment transport over various terrains.
- Tri Axle Tag Trailers: Tri axle tag trailers are designed to carry large, heavy machinery. They provide excellent weight distribution, stability, and capacity for construction, agriculture, and industrial transport needs.
- Dog Trailers: These are used in road train configurations and offer flexible cargo capacity, and excellent manoeuvrability, making them common in bulk goods and agricultural industries.
- Drop Deck Trailers: Featuring a lowered deck, these trailers carry taller loads while remaining road-legal, perfect for transporting machinery, containers, or oversized goods.
- Super Tilt Trailers: Equipped with hydraulic tilt systems, super tilts enable easy loading/unloading of heavy equipment, vehicles, and containers without needing extra specialised lifting machinery.
- Side Tippers: Designed with a hydraulic tilting mechanism that tips the trailer sideways, side tippers efficiently unload bulk materials like grain, sand, gravel, and aggregates. They’re widely used in mining, agriculture, and construction for fast, controlled discharge without manual labour.
- Car Transporters: Specifically designed to safely transport multiple vehicles, these trailers are widely used by dealerships, rental companies, and logistics providers.
- Heavy Haulage – Quad Axle Trailers: This trailer is purposefully built for oversized or extremely heavy loads. Heavy haulage trailers handle industrial equipment, mining machinery, and large infrastructure components.
- Low Loaders: With a low deck height, low loaders are designed to transport tall or heavy equipment such as bulldozers, cranes, and agricultural machinery while maintaining stability.
The Manufacturing Process: Quality & Durability Built for WA Conditions
At FWR our objective is to deliver quality trailers that are durable and can withstand any and all conditions. This is why the standard of our manufacturing process must be perfect from the very beginning to the very end.
We start by selecting the best in high-grade steel to support structural strength, then create components that are precision-cut and welded using advanced machinery. After the frames are put under a stress test to verify performance under heavy loads and challenging road conditions, they receive a corrosion-resistant coating or galvanisation to protect against rust and weather damage.
Suspension systems, braking components, and electrical wiring are installed ensuring strict industry standards are followed.
Our quality control teams are performing inspections at every stage of the process, including dimensional checks, weld integrity assessments, and functional testing of lights, brakes, and coupling systems.
Before the completed trailers are delivered, they must undergo road simulations and load trials to make sure they meet safety regulations and customer expectations for long-lasting, reliable performance in demanding transport environments.
