Transport Solutions
Engineered systems for moving equipment, materials, and specialist loads, built for real-world use.
Metalcraft Engineering designs and manufactures custom transport solutions for trucks, vehicles, and trailers. From specialist trailers and load retention systems to vehicle-mounted and retrofit transport solutions, every build is engineered for safety, durability, and compliance.
Designed and built in Christchurch, our transport work supports commercial fleets, specialist operators, and industry-specific transport requirements across New Zealand.
PRACTICAL DESIGN. QUALITY FINISH.
Trailers operate under constant load, vibration, and exposure. Our solutions are designed with practical loading, secure retention, and long-term performance in mind, using robust materials, proven fabrication methods, and finishes suited to demanding road and site conditions.
TRAILER CAPABILITIES

BBQ Trailers
Custom-built BBQ trailers designed for durability, ease of setup, and regular use in workplaces, events, and community settings. Each trailer is engineered to your requirements, fully road-legal, and built to handle repeated transport and operation with minimal fuss.
Utility & Transport Trailers
Versatile, heavy-duty trailers designed for moving equipment, vehicles, and general cargo. This range includes transport, quad bike, and enclosed box configurations, all engineered for strength, stability, and practical day-to-day use across commercial, agricultural, and utility applications.
Display Trailers
Purpose-built display trailers designed to showcase products, equipment, or branding on the move. Engineered for secure transport and easy access on site, these trailers are ideal for promotions, demonstrations, and mobile displays that need to look professional and perform reliably.
Bike Rack Trailers
Custom bike rack trailers designed for the secure and efficient transport of multiple bicycles. Built with durability and protection in mind, these trailers are suited to clubs, events, and organisations needing a practical, towable solution for high-volume bike transport.
Hard-Sided Trailers
Heavy-duty, engineered trailers designed for transporting specialised equipment such as crawler cranes and machinery. These trailers are weight-rated, fitted with advanced braking systems, and custom-configured internally to ensure safe loading, transport, and unloading of high-value equipment.
BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD USE
Trailers don’t get a break. They’re exposed to constant road vibration, weather, repeated loading, and demanding work environments. That’s why Metalcraft trailers are engineered for commercial use, not light-duty applications.
Built from durable materials and finished to withstand long-term exposure, our trailers prioritise safety, reliability, and longevity, helping reduce downtime and extend the working life of equipment on the road
WHY CHOOSE METALCRAFT FOR TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS
Engineering-Led design
Our transport solutions are engineered as working systems, not off-the-shelf products. Every design is developed with load security, vehicle integration, compliance, and long-term use in mind, ensuring safe and efficient transport in real operating conditions.
Skilled Trades & proven Capability
Manufactured in Christchurch by experienced fabricators, our transport solutions are built using robust materials and proven fabrication methods. From trailers and vehicle-mounted systems to specialist transport builds, each project reflects disciplined workshop processes and consistent build quality.
BUILT FOR LONG-TERM EXPOSURE
Road vibration, weather, repeated loading, and heavy use quickly expose the limits of lightweight transport equipment. Metalcraft transport solutions are built from durable materials, hot-dip galvanised where required, and finished to withstand long-term commercial use — delivering reliability over years, not seasons.
NZ-MADE. TRUSTED ACROSS INDUSTRY
Proudly designed and made in New Zealand, Metalcraft transport solutions are used across commercial fleets, specialist operators, and industry-specific applications nationwide. Trusted for their durability, compliance, and real-world performance, they’re built for transport environments where reliability matters.
