2008 Tandem Axle Utility Trailer - 14,000 kg ATM - Hydraulic Brakes and Quick Coupler
Overview
This 2008 tandem axle utility trailer represents solid, work-ready equipment for general haulage and site support applications. Built to Australian standards with a 14,000 kg Aggregate Tare Mass (ATM) rating, the trailer is engineered for reliable performance across construction, landscaping, and agricultural operations. The dual-axle configuration provides stability and load distribution, whilst the hydraulic brake system ensures responsive stopping power when towing behind suitable prime movers.
The trailer features a steel mesh deck platform with robust perimeter framing, designed to accommodate palletised loads, machinery, and general cargo. The integrated quick coupler system allows rapid connection and disconnection from tow vehicles, minimising downtime on busy job sites. Hydraulic hoses with colour-coded red and blue spiral construction are clearly visible and appear functional, feeding brake actuation and any auxiliary hydraulic requirements.
In the current market, comparable tandem trailers of this vintage and specification typically command between AUD 8,000 and 12,000 depending on condition, hours of use, and service history. This example offers genuine utility at a realistic entry point for buyers seeking proven, serviceable equipment without premium pricing.
Condition
The trailer presents in honest, working condition consistent with its age and operational history. The steel frame and deck show surface rust and weathering typical of outdoor storage and regular use. Paint finish exhibits fading and minor chipping, particularly on the lower frame sections. The mesh deck platform remains structurally sound with no visible cracks or separation. Tyres appear serviceable, mounted on steel rims with visible tread remaining. The coupling hardware shows corrosion but remains mechanically intact. Hydraulic hoses are present and appear supple, with no obvious splits or weeping. The quick coupler mechanism operates smoothly and shows normal wear. Overall, the trailer is mechanically sound and ready for immediate work deployment following routine pre-operation checks.
