That’s where we’re different.

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 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.

Safety First: Every Time
Safety isn’t just a checklist at Dave’s Trailer Hire, it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Before every hire, each trailer is checked, balanced, and prepared for legal, compliant towing under Victorian road regulations.
Dave takes the time to make sure you:
- Understand your vehicle’s towing capacity and how it relates to the trailer you’re hiring.
- Know whether you need electric brakes or a brake controller, based on your total towing weight.
- Feel confident loading, strapping, and balancing your trailer safely before hitting the road.
Balancing Made Simple
Correct weight placement is key to safe towing.
Dave will help you:
- Hook up your trailer and check that the vehicle and trailer sit level once connected.
- Ensure around 10% of your total load weight rests on the tow ball this helps maintain stability and prevents sway.
- Check your tow bar’s rating, including both towing capacity and tow ball weight, to confirm it’s suitable for your load.
At Dave’s Trailer Hire, you’ll never leave guessing you’ll leave safe, informed, and confident every time you tow.
