Trailer Hire in Wodonga

To hire a trailer in Australia, you’ll generally need a valid driver’s licence (typically a full car licence) and a suitable vehicle with a tow bar. Some hire providers may require a bond or payment upfront, along with a signed agreement outlining terms of use and return conditions. It’s also your responsibility to ensure the trailer is loaded safely and legally. This includes proper weight distribution, securing the load and adhering to road rules for towing.

The size of the trailer you’ll need depends on the volume and weight of the materials you're transporting. A standard 6x4 or 7x4 trailer is often enough for small loads like mulch or pebbles, but heavier materials like gravel or sand may require fewer trips due to weight limits. It’s important to consider the trailer’s load capacity (usually listed on the trailer) and your vehicle’s towing capacity. If unsure, it's best to ask about trailer suitability based on what you plan to carry.

Yes, trailers are commonly used for transporting loose bulk materials such as sand, soil, mulch and bark. However, it’s important to line or cover the trailer bed to prevent spills, especially when transporting fine materials like sand or screenings. Using a tarp or mesh cover also ensures compliance with road safety regulations. For ease of unloading, tipping trailers are ideal, but standard flatbeds work just as well with a shovel or helper.
