Our homegrown success story
Our story began in 2018 when Leah and her partner Sam took a leap of faith.
While Leah was content in childcare, she had dreams of setting up her family for life. And with Sam’s 15 years in the industry, he saw a need for quality Australian-made trailers without the wait.
So, they invested their house savings into making their first trailer in their backyard. And they haven’t stopped since.
Homegrown Quality
There’s nothing like Australian quality and that’s why all
our trailers are made here, not imported. And we’re proud
locals, employing over 30 staff and using over 500 tonnes of
Australian steel last year alone.
Innovation Leaders
We’re not just making trailers; we’re pushing boundaries.
With a dedicated Research and Development department, we
design state-of-the-art trailers and offer full customisation.
Groundbreaking Systems
We’ve invested in our own custom software system that
tracks every trailer order from start to finish. It’s all part of our
commitment to excellence.
Family at Our Core
Without family, Basic Trailers wouldn’t exist. From building our
first trailer in the backyard to our six-thousandth, family has
been our driving force. From quality and innovation to family
and community, we’re here to create the perfect trailer for you.
