2005 Homemade Tandem Axle Plant Trailer - Grey - Tekonsha Breakaway System
Overview
This is a purpose-built tandem axle plant trailer, custom manufactured in 2005 and designed for reliable transport of vehicles. The trailer features a dual-ramp configuration with mesh decking for secure load containment and features modern safety systems including a Tekonsha breakaway braking system with multi-stage integrated charger. The grey colour scheme and robust construction reflect its working heritage, with substantial steel frame construction throughout. This is a functional, proven platform for vehicle transport operations, suitable for both commercial and private use.
The trailer presents as a well-used working asset with honest patina consistent with its age and service history. The tandem axle configuration provides stability and load distribution, whilst the mesh ramps offer secure footing for loaded vehicles. The Tekonsha breakaway system is a modern safety addition, providing independent braking capability in the event of tow vehicle separation. Storage boxes mounted on the frame provide secure compartments for transport accessories and securing equipment.
Comparable tandem car carrier trailers of similar vintage and configuration typically range from AUD 3,500 to 5,500 depending on condition and specification. This example, with its functional breakaway system and dual ramps, represents solid value in the working trailer market for buyers seeking proven, established equipment.
Condition
The trailer exhibits moderate surface rust and weathering consistent with 19 years of service. The steel frame shows oxidation on exposed surfaces, particularly visible on the main longitudinal members and cross-bracing. The mesh ramps display wear patterns from repeated vehicle loading, with surface corrosion visible on the expanded metal decking. The storage boxes show faded paint and minor surface rust. The coupling hardware and safety chains show typical corrosion patina. Tyres are mounted on white-wall alloy rims in matching condition. The Tekonsha breakaway system is mounted and functional, with wiring intact and control module accessible. The jockey wheel operates smoothly with manual crank operation confirmed.
