Truck Gates & Trailer Gates

40 years experience in the Transport and Vehicle Body Building industries, including 15 years as an owner driver, transporting all types of general freight around Australia has given me plenty of "hands-on" experience with gates and allows me to offer advice on what will best suit your needs.

Truck gates and trailer gates are becoming a more important part of the transport industry and with regulations changing all the time and some mine sites enforcing truckies to have gates on their truck or trailer before they can enter their sites. It is becoming more common to carry gates even if you don't really need them.

Unfortunately the government departments will not tell you what the law is on truckgates, only to say that it is your responsibility to make sure that everything is secured to your truck or trailer. If something should fall off your truck or trailer, you will be held responsible and this could be very costly, especially if someone should get hurt by the unsecured object whether it be a piece of freight, empty pallet or even a glut that goes over the side.
