Halco Trailers designs and manufactures tri axle trailers for sale in Melbourne, Warragul, and across Victoria, built to handle the heaviest tasks in industrial, commercial, and agricultural transport.

Designed for Australia's Toughest Haulage Needs
Tri axle trailers are purpose-built for the demands of Australian industries where weight, distance, and terrain all come into play. From unsealed regional roads to high-traffic metro freight routes, these trailers are the go-to choice for businesses that require maximum durability and load efficiency.

High payload transport across construction, agriculture, and mining
Long-distance hauling of heavy machinery and bulk materials
Rough terrain and off-road conditions, common across rural and regional sites
Repeated braking and cornering, handled with superior axle distribution and suspension systems
Choosing a Halco tri axle trailer means fewer trips, lower operating costs, and better protection for your cargo, equipment, and vehicle.

Why Choose a Halco Tri Axle Trailer?
A tri axle trailer spreads weight across three axles, offering increased payload capacity, smoother handling, and reduced wear on brakes and tyres. This makes them ideal for long-haul transport, machinery movement, and bulk load distribution.
Each Halco trailer is built from Australian-grade steel, with a hot-dipped galvanised finish for long-term corrosion resistance, especially important in coastal and rural environments.
Key benefits include:
Enhanced braking and cornering control
Greater stability on uneven terrain
Longer suspension and tyre lifespan
Compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR) and VSB1 trailer guidelines
Every trailer is manufactured locally in our Warragul workshop, tested in real-world conditions across Victoria’s urban and regional roads, and backed by our expert team.
All Halco tri axle trailers are engineered to meet the relevant Australian Design Rules (ADR) and VSB1 Revision 6 requirements based on their configuration and ATM rating. Every unit is manufactured at our Warragul workshop, tested for both urban and regional use across Victoria.

Tri Axle vs Tandem Axle Trailers: Key Differences
What Is a Tri Axle Trailer?
A tri axle trailer features three axles placed closely together to support greater weight capacity. This design reduces tyre wear, enhances braking performance, and increases road stability, ideal for heavy-duty, long-distance transport across Victoria and beyond.
What Is a Tandem Axle Trailer?
Tandem axle trailers have two axles, offering good stability for mid-weight loads. They’re easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces and are commonly used for light construction, home projects, or smaller machinery transport.
Why Choose Tri Axle for Heavy Loads?
If your operations involve payloads exceeding 3 tonnes, tri axle trailers are the smarter choice. They handle greater ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass), provide better suspension life, and distribute load stress more evenly across all wheels, critical for rougher roads and industrial use.
Choosing between a tri axle and a tandem axle trailer depends on your load type, frequency of use, and terrain. Here’s a breakdown of how they compare:
A tri axle trailer distributes weight across more wheels, making it ideal for heavy-duty hauling and improved braking. A tandem axle trailer is suitable for lighter loads and offers more agile movement in smaller areas. For frequent heavy transport over 3 tonnes, tri axle setups provide long-term performance and reduced maintenance.
Feature | Tri Axle Trailer | Tandem Axle Trailer |
Axle Count | 3 axles | 2 axles |
Load Capacity | Up to 4.5 tonnes GVM | Up to 3.5 tonnes GVM |
Tyre Wear | Reduced (load shared across more wheels) | Higher (more stress on fewer tyres) |
Braking Efficiency | Greater control under load | Standard braking response |
Stability on Road | High better weight distribution | Moderate – best for balanced loads |
Turning Radius | Wider, less manoeuvrable in tight spaces | Tighter turns, easier for urban areas |
Best For | Heavy haulage, industrial use, long distances | Light to mid-weight loads, short runs |
