Hard-Sided Trailers
Engineered for specialised equipment and heavy-duty transport.
Metalcraft hard-sided trailers are purpose-built for transporting crawler cranes, tracked machinery, and specialised equipment. These trailers are weight-rated, engineered to specification, and designed to handle demanding loads safely and reliably.
Built for Real-World Use
Hard-sided trailers operate in high-risk environments. They carry heavy, valuable equipment and must perform consistently under load, during transport, and at site.
Metalcraft hard-sided trailers are engineered for this reality, with robust structures, controlled loading systems, and compliance-focused design to support safe transport and operation.
Purpose-Built for the Job
These trailers are not off-the-shelf units. Each build is designed around the specific equipment being transported.
Typical applications include:
-
Crawler cranes
-
Tracked plant and machinery
-
Specialised industrial equipment
Internal layouts are custom-fitted to secure loads during transport and reduce movement, damage, and risk.
Engineered for Safety
Safety is central to the design of every hard-sided trailer.
Key features may include:
-
Weight-rated construction
-
Advanced electronic braking systems
-
Secure internal restraint systems
-
Pull-out ramps for controlled loading and unloading
-
Stable towing and predictable handling under load
Design decisions are driven by compliance, safety, and real-world operation, not just aesthetics
Designed to Suit Your Equipment
No two hard-sided trailers are the same. Load weights, dimensions, axle configurations, braking systems, and internal fit-outs are engineered to suit your equipment, towing vehicle, and operating environment.
This ensures safe transport, regulatory compliance, and long-term reliability.
