Trailer types in Brisbane

  • Cage trailers: good for Brisbane's renovation and garden clean-up jobs
  • Box trailers: a good all-rounder for everyday loads
  • Enclosed trailers: weather protection matters in South-East Queensland's afternoon storms
  • Car trailers: for vehicle transport, track days at Queensland Raceway, and Marketplace pickups
  • Motorbike trailers: compact, easy to tow, good for trail bike transport to the D'Aguilar Range
  • Flat-top trailers: for building materials, machinery, and oversized loads
  • Camping trailers: for trips to the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Lamington NP, or Fraser Island

Towing rules in Queensland

  • There are rules covering towing speeds, trailer brakes and safety chains, and they differ between states. Check with Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads before you tow.
  • Some Brisbane routes are tolled, including Legacy Way, Airport Link, Clem7, and Go Between Bridge, so plan your route and check the toll with the road operator.
  • Brisbane's summer storms can be intense. If rain is forecast, consider whether you need an enclosed trailer to protect your load.
