Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are the skeletal trailers new or used?

    Every AAA skeletal trailer is built brand new, never refurbished or second-hand. Each unit is assembled locally by experienced technicians in Australia and put through a full quality inspection before it’s ready to hit the freight corridors.

  • Do you offer financing options for the skeletal trailers?

    Yes. We offer competitive finance options to make adding a skeletal trailer to your fleet easier. You’re also welcome to involve your own finance broker for an independent inspection before purchase.

  • Can I customise the specifications of the skeletal trailers I order?

    Absolutely. You can choose a custom paint finish at no extra cost and add optional features to suit your freight requirements. Just note, custom builds require more production time than our ready-to-go Melbourne stock units.

  • Do you have a warranty policy for your skeletal trailers?

    Every skeletal trailer comes with a 12-month warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. If an issue comes up in that period, we’ll organise fast repairs or replacement parts to get you moving again.

  • What are the delivery times for ordered skeletal trailers?

    Some trailers are available for immediate dispatch. For new builds, lead time is generally up to three months from the date your deposit is received.

  • Do you provide after-sales service and support?

    Yes. We’re here for the long haul to offer maintenance advice and technical support to keep your skeletal trailer performing reliably across Victoria or anywhere in Australia.
