Jockey Wheels

Jockey wheels are essential for safely and easily manoeuvring your trailer or caravan when it’s not attached to your vehicle. They help stabilise the drawbar and allow for easy positioning on-site or in storage. We supply and fit a range of jockey wheels, including clamp-on, swing-up, and heavy-duty models, to suit all trailer sizes and load types. Each product is chosen for strength, smooth operation, and durability across rough terrain.

Proper installation ensures effortless handling and reduced strain when hitching or parking, giving you greater control and convenience wherever you travel.

Coupling

Your trailer coupling is the vital link that connects your trailer to your towing vehicle. It plays a critical role in keeping your load secure, safe, and roadworthy. We stock and install high-quality couplings for every need—standard, off-road, override, and electric types—ensuring compatibility with your towbar and trailer setup.

A well-fitted coupling reduces sway, absorbs movement, and provides safe articulation while driving. Our fittings are compliant with Australian road standards, ensuring peace of mind on short hauls or extended trips. We offer expert advice to match your vehicle with the right coupling system.

Hubs

Trailer hubs are integral to keeping your wheels rotating safely and evenly while under load. If you’re noticing grinding noises, heat build-up, or wheel looseness, it may be time to inspect or replace your hubs. We supply and fit hub assemblies that are engineered for strength, reliability, and compatibility with a wide range of trailer types.

Our installations ensure correct bearing seating, secure fastening, and long-lasting performance. Whether it’s a boat trailer, camper, or utility trailer, our hubs withstand Australian conditions and are installed to meet road safety standards.

Bearing

Wheel bearings reduce friction between the wheel hub and axle, keeping your trailer moving smoothly and safely. Without properly functioning bearings, trailers risk overheating, noise, and even dangerous wheel failures.

We provide complete bearing kits and professional installation for all types of trailers and caravans. Each bearing is packed with quality grease, installed with precision, and sealed to keep dirt and moisture out.

Regular bearing maintenance is crucial for long-distance or heavy-load towing. Whether you need new bearings or a full replacement, our team ensures performance, durability, and safety.

Trailer Brakes

Reliable trailer brakes are critical for safe towing, especially when carrying heavy loads like caravans or equipment trailers. We supply and install electric, hydraulic, and mechanical brake systems tailored to your trailer’s design and usage.

From simple brake adjustments to complete replacements, our services improve control and reduce stopping distances. We use compliant, heavy-duty components for dependable performance in all conditions.

Whether you’re heading off-road or travelling long highways, having well-functioning trailer brakes makes towing safer for you and others. Get expert advice on the right system for your setup.

Trailer Springs

Trailer springs are key to a smooth and stable towing experience. They help absorb shocks from uneven roads and distribute weight evenly across the trailer’s chassis. We supply and fit a wide range of trailer suspension systems, including eye-to-eye, slipper, and load-rated leaf springs.

Properly maintained springs reduce bounce, prevent swaying, and improve handling—especially with heavy loads or off-road travel. Our installations are suited to both light and heavy-duty trailers, ensuring long-lasting performance and better ride comfort. If your trailer feels unstable or rough, upgraded springs may be the solution.

Trailer Locks

Protect your caravan or trailer from theft with strong, secure trailer locks. We offer a full range of coupling locks, wheel clamps, hitch pins, and anti-theft devices designed for reliability and ease of use. Whether parked at home or left unattended while travelling, these locks add essential protection.

All locks are built from toughened steel or anti-pick materials to withstand tampering. They’re easy to install and compatible with most trailer types. Investing in proper locking solutions not only safeguards your gear but also gives you peace of mind while on the road or in storage.

U Bolts

U bolts play a crucial role in securing trailer suspension components like leaf springs and axles. Worn or corroded U bolts can compromise your trailer’s structure and towing safety. We stock galvanised, heavy-duty U bolts in various sizes to suit different axle and spring configurations.

Our expert team ensures they are fitted and torqued to the correct specifications, offering long-term strength and vibration resistance. Whether you’re replacing old hardware or upgrading your suspension, properly installed U bolts are essential for maintaining safe and stable towing performance on any terrain.

Brake Cables

Brake cables are a vital component of mechanical trailer brake systems, providing the link between your tow vehicle’s brake controller and the trailer’s braking mechanism. Over time, cables can stretch, fray, or seize—reducing braking effectiveness.

We supply and install premium-grade brake cables designed to withstand wear, corrosion, and heavy use. Whether you need standard lengths or custom solutions, our fittings ensure your brakes operate smoothly and in sync with your vehicle. Regular cable checks and replacements help maintain safe braking and towing compliance, especially for long-distance or heavy-load trailers.

Dee Shackles

Dee shackles are the mandatory link between your trailer’s safety chains and the towbar. They must meet legal standards and provide secure, load-rated performance under towing pressure.

We supply high-tensile shackles that are galvanised for rust resistance and built to handle heavy-duty use. Available in a range of sizes and pin types, each shackle is fitted to meet Australian compliance and suit your trailer’s chain setup. A correctly fitted dee shackle ensures your safety chains do their job in an emergency, keeping your trailer secured in the event of disconnection.

Caravan Levels

A properly levelled caravan means better comfort, safer appliance operation, and reduced strain on structural components. We offer a range of caravan levels—from simple bubble styles to precision digital levelling tools. Installed in optimal locations, these devices make it easy to check and adjust your setup on uneven terrain.

Levelling helps ensure stability for sleeping, cooking, and general use. We recommend using levelling aids at every campsite or rest stop. Our team can advise on the best solutions and placement to get your caravan sitting straight and stable.

Tow Weight Scales

Tow weight scales help you measure your caravan or trailer’s tow ball download weight—a critical factor for safe towing. An unbalanced load can cause sway, loss of control, and added stress on your suspension. We supply and demonstrate easy-to-use portable tow weight scales that give quick, accurate readings.

Knowing your tow ball weight helps you stay within your vehicle’s limits and avoid fines or dangerous driving conditions. Whether you're towing a camper, boat, or trailer, this tool is a smart way to keep your setup safe and compliant on the road.

Tow Balls

Tow balls are the foundation of any towing connection, transferring force between your vehicle and trailer. We supply and install a wide range of tow balls—including standard 50mm, heavy-duty 70mm, and weight-rated varieties.

Each tow ball is installed securely and torque-checked for compliance with Australian regulations. Proper sizing and material selection are essential for matching your coupling and ensuring towing safety. Whether replacing a worn tow ball or upgrading to suit a new trailer, our products are chosen for strength, durability, and performance under pressure.
