Our Trailers
Well Balanced for an Easy Tow
Other trailers are often built with an asymmetrical weight distribution which makes for a rather front-heavy tow, our trailers on the other hand ensure a well balanced frame for a wide tray and an even smoother tow.
Low guard height
Unlike many of our competitors we’ve catered our tandem trailers to suit the needs of car enthusiasts just like us. Our trailers are specially designed with low guard height to suit all lowered cars and sports vehicles.
Well Maintained, Regularly Serviced and Thoroughly Inspected
All of our equipment is regularly serviced and maintained to ensure the safest and most secure towing. Our trailers are thoroughly inspected for damage and faults after every hire and are adjusted and repaired on site before being sent out once again.
Designed With Motorsport in Mind
With beaver tail rears and long ramps, our trailers are the perfect solution to your towing problems. Our tandem trailers are fabricated with low guard height to cater for the easiest loading and unloading of lowered vehicles and the ability to get in and out of the car once its loaded.
Car Carrier Trailers (x4)
Our four car carrier trailers are the backbone of Dave’s fleet, strong, stable, and built for versatility. Each car carrier trailer is a type of car trailer designed for the safe and easy transport of vehicles. These car trailers are suitable for a range of vehicles, including small vehicles, utes, and SUVs, making them ideal for various transport needs. Each trailer features dual axles, electric brakes, and a low-guard flat tray that can handle everything from small hatchbacks to high-performance or race vehicles.
Ideal for: car transport, breakdown recovery, trade work, and motorsport events.
- Smooth, balanced handling for long-distance towing
- Regularly serviced and safety-checked before and after every hire
- Thorough inspections covering lights, wheels, connections, and overall condition
Important to know: Before booking, Dave will chat with you about what you’re towing, where you’re going, and your vehicle’s towing capacity. Suitability is critical overloading a trailer isn’t just unsafe, it can also carry legal liability. Just because something fits doesn’t mean it’s within the weight limits.
Even if you’re new to towing, Dave will guide you through everything you need to know so you feel confident, capable, and safe behind the wheel.
Cage Trailers (x2)
Our two cage trailers are designed to make moving, cleaning, and transporting gear simple and secure.
With high mesh sides and swing gates, they keep your load neatly contained no spills, no stress.
Ideal for: furniture moves, commercial clean-ups, site equipment, and tools.
- Easy rear access for loading and unloading
- Stable dual-axle design for balanced towing
- Maintained, inspected, and safety-checked after every hire
These trailers are perfect for light commercial jobs and general transport, offering plenty of space and dependable performance for everyday use.

A Safer, Smarter Way to Tow
Many people hire a trailer without truly understanding how weight, balance, and braking all work together and that’s often where problems start. At Dave’s Trailer Hire, safety education comes standard. Dave doesn’t just hand you the keys he explains why things are done a certain way, so you can tow confidently, not cautiously.
What You’ll Learn with Dave
- How to secure your load correctly using rated straps and tie-downs.
- How to distribute weight safely so your trailer stays balanced, reducing sway and braking strain.
- How to spot potential problems early, like unusual noises, movement, or hot wheels after long drives.
Why Weight Distribution Matters
When loading a car or equipment, placement is everything. You want around 10% of the load weight resting on the tow bar, not sitting heavily at the rear of the trailer. If too much weight is behind the axle, the trailer can sway especially at higher speeds. If too much is at the front, it can overload the tow bar and affect steering.
Dave helps you understand the logic behind proper loading not just how to do it, but why it keeps you safe. You’ll learn to check that the trailer and car sit level once connected, and to adjust weight placement until the setup feels stable and controlled.
Mini Safety Tips from Dave
- Always double-check your straps after a few kilometres.
- If you’re driving long distances, pull over occasionally to check wheel temperatures overheating can signal bearing or brake issues.
- Don’t rush loading, take the time to balance properly and you’ll save yourself stress (and potential damage) later.
This practical approach has helped hundreds of first-time towers tow safely, legally, and with total confidence. Most say they’ll never hire from anywhere else because once you tow the right way, you’ll feel the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which trailer is right for my car?
You don’t have to guess Dave personally checks your vehicle’s towing capacity, discusses your load, and recommends the right trailer for the job. You’ll always leave with equipment that’s safe, legal, and perfectly matched to your vehicle.
I’ve never towed before — can you show me how?
Of course! Most of Dave’s customers are first-timers. He’ll walk you through the entire process, including how to load and balance, how to use straps and safety chains correctly, and what to check before driving off.
Do I need electric brakes to hire a car trailer?
If your combined vehicle and trailer weight exceeds 750 kg (unbraked) or 2,000 kg (braked) under Victorian law, you’ll need electric brakes. Don’t worry Dave will explain your options and confirm that your setup meets all legal and safety standards before you hit the road.
Can you deliver a trailer to me in Point Cook or nearby suburbs?
Yes. Dave offers fast local delivery and pickup across Point Cook, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing, Truganina, and surrounding suburbs. He can deliver to your location, help you load safely, and collect it when you’re done.
How much does car trailer hire cost?
Dave’s rates are competitive and transparent, often cheaper than service-station hires. Multi-day and weekly discounts are available for longer projects.
