Overview

Built to make loading easier.

The TRT Tri Axle Widening Forklift Trailer is purpose-built for moving forklifts, small machines, access equipment and materials handling gear.

With a low loading angle, practical deck height and widening capability, it makes larger machines and low-clearance loads easier to move on site.


Features

Solving the forklift transport problem.

As forklifts get bigger, heavier and taller, transport gets more complex. The TRT Forklift Trailer helps make it easier, with a lowering deck, widening capability and straight-through loading for larger equipment.

Built to keep loading practical, controlled and efficient.

  • Low loading height

    The TRT Forklift Trailer lowers for loading, creating a shallow approach angle for forklifts and low-clearance machinery. Easier loading, with greater control and confidence.

  • Widening trailer design

    The trailer travels at road-friendly width, then widens on site to load larger machinery. That gives operators the flexibility to move forklifts and equipment up to wider dimensions without relying on lifting gear. It is a practical answer to a very real transport problem.

  • Straight-through loading

    The widening system and hydraulic infill decks create a clear loading path from the ramp through the deck. For operators, that means less setup, less handling and a more direct way to load larger machines.

  • Built for tall, heavy forklifts

    Modern warehouse forklifts are getting taller and heavier, especially as stacking heights increase. That creates height and loading challenges conventional trailers are not always built to solve. TRT’s Forklift Trailer has been developed with those challenges in mind, helping carriers move larger forklift equipment with more control.

  • Five ride heights

    The trailer’s suspension system allows multiple ride heights, giving operators greater flexibility across loading, travel and site conditions. That adjustability helps the trailer work across a wider range of jobs, yards and machinery types.

  • Strong componentry

    Built with BPW axles, super single wheels and wide tyres, the trailer is designed for demanding transport work.It is practical, robust and engineered for the long haul.

  • TRT Parts and Service Support

    TRT supports your Forklift Trailer with genuine parts, service backup and technical advice from people who know the equipment inside out.

    Because we design, build and support our trailers under one roof, you get practical answers, reliable parts supply and long-term support to help keep your operation moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What machines can this trailer carry?

    Built for high-reach forklifts, large counterbalance units, excavators, reach stackers and motorhomes. Its lowering deck and widening system make larger, low-clearance equipment easier to load.

  • Does this trailer require an oversize permit?

    For unladen road travel, the trailer closes to under 2.5m, so no oversize permit is required. Loaded movements depend on machine size, route and local regulations. Contact TRT to confirm what applies.

  • How does the suspension work, and how low does the deck get?

    The trailer uses Tridec airbag suspension with selectable ride heights, lowering the deck for high-reach forklifts and low-clearance machinery without extra equipment.

  • How does the widening system work on site?

    TRT’s hydraulic widening system opens on site, creating a continuous loading surface so wider machines can drive straight on. It then closes for standard unladen road travel.

  • Can TRT build this trailer to a different deck length?

    Yes. TRT can build the trailer to suit your required deck length, with standard and custom options available. Contact the TRT trailers team to confirm what’s achievable and get a build quote.

  • What after-sale support does TRT provide for trailers?

    TRT supports trailers across New Zealand and Australia with parts, service and maintenance advice, backed by over 58 years of heavy transport experience.
