Built on experience. Driven by capability.
Since 2007, CTE has built and delivered more than 1,000 tilt slides and trailers across Australia. Our capability spans in-house engineering, manufacturing and fabrication, allowing us to develop both proven configurations and bespoke transport equipment around the application.
From 3D modelling and engineering through to production, CTE keeps the process closely connected. This allows our team to refine solutions around the load, route and task, with production-floor insight feeding back into the engineering process.
The job comes first.
No two operations are the same. Loads, routes, equipment and operating requirements all influence what the right transport solution looks like.
That is why CTE works with customers to understand the application before determining the equipment configuration. Whether it is a proven trailer configuration or a solution that requires a more bespoke approach, the objective remains the same: develop equipment around the work it needs to perform.
This is particularly aligned with the existing CTE philosophy of configuring equipment around “the load, the route, and the task”, rather than asking an operator to adapt their operation to a standard product.

PURPOSE-BUILT EQUIPMENT
CTE designs and manufactures transport equipment around the requirements of the job. From tilt slide truck bodies and heavy transport trailers to custom truck bodies and specialised builds, our in-house engineering and manufacturing capability allows us to develop equipment around the application.
Based in Drouin, Victoria, CTE works with operators across Australia to understand the load, route and task, then configure the equipment around what the operation requires. Where a standard configuration does not meet the application, we develop a solution around it.
Established in 2007, CTE has grown from a specialist transport equipment manufacturer into a broader engineering and manufacturing business. Over that time, the company has expanded its product range, developed its in-house capability and continued to build equipment around the requirements of Australian operators.
- Local & beyond
OUR COMMUNITY
CTE is proud to call Drouin home. As a significant regional employer, we invest in the community through our support for local sporting clubs, including Drouin Football Club and Ellinbank Netball Club.
We also support emerging motorsport talent, including Jimmy Golding and Elliott Cleary, recognising the dedication it takes to develop skills and perform at a high level. By welcoming local students into our facility to learn about engineering and manufacturing, we help introduce the next generation to skilled career opportunities close to home. For CTE, community involvement is part of being a responsible local business.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE BUILD
Everything CTE delivers comes back to the capability and dedication of our team. From engineering and fabrication through to sales and workshop leadership, skilled people sit behind the equipment our customers depend on.
CTE has also developed more than 15 people through its apprenticeship programme, with many progressing into team leadership and management roles.
