Trailer manufacturer in Perth?

John Papas, seem to make decent trailers.

Pretty sure they can do custom work, and also make theres more heavy duty.

I was considering them when i was looking into building my own camper trailer, but have since lost that idea till funds return.

Hi V,

Coastal Machinery in Bunbury have an imported range of trailers of many sizes & configurations and they MAY have an outlet in Perth. Even if not it may be worth you having a look as I know they send trailers interstate as they can land them there cheaper than they can be bought locally by interstatians.

Most of the Big Players as such seem to make down to a price. I know a few years ago I looked at John Papas and they were certainly roughly made and cheap.

Unfortunately well made will cost significantly more.

Acacia Prison strated last year making trailers and the ones I saw were well made, heavy and releatively cheap. I suppose mainly because their labour costs were minimal. I think if you ring ESS at the priosn they may be able to assist.

The smallet manuafcturers often make more to order and may also be be better than the large guys.

When I had my 8' x 5' Offroad box trailer made in NSW it cost a pretty penny.

It does have independant suspension and has the capability to hold 12 jerry cans externally and 2 x 4kg gas bottles.

Would I do it again.............................. YES it was the best $$ I have spent on a trailer, which is why even though I now own a Trak Shak camper, I am not parting with the box trailer as I know I will never get what is cost me to get it built if I sold it :)

Try south west trailers in Mandurah...he has done work for me (not trailers) but you will get what you want as he is switched on and will build to a standard and or a price..whatever your instructions are

Try Explorex in Wangara, they make heavy duty trailers for geologists and the like. They also do a nice line of caravans for mining and exploration companies.

I got mine from Load Star Trailers in Perth.
Nice people and a good product... from my very limited knowledge that is!

Leader trailers in Bassendean, I have had work done on my work trailer there and he is very good, he also makes to order and very fussy in what he builds, he won't be the cheapest around but you will get what you want, the way you want it.

About 15 years ago,I had a trailer made by Rolliston Engineering in Wangara,on the street that runs behind the Wanneroo Markets.They used to make trailers for the Army,so are tough enough.Recommended, so hope they are still there.
