BUILT ACROSS OUR RANGE AS STANDARD
Our heavy transport trailers carry excavators, forklifts, cranes, containers and specialist loads Australia-wide. Each starts with how the operator works: what they carry, where they go and how they load. We then configure axles, decks, ramps, restraint and storage to suit. The result is a trailer that loads easily, carries securely and keeps earning for years. Every CTE trailer deck is floored in Hardox wear plate as standard, for strength and wear resistance that lasts the life of the trailer.
- Hardox wear plate flooring, up to 6mm thick on the working deck.
- Profile-cut coamings up to 12mm thick, with integrated tie-down slots.
- Floor tie-down points positioned to suit your loads.
- Heavy-duty construction featuring fully strapped main rails and high-grade structural steel.
- Widening and extendable configurations available across the range, subject to the specific model.
- Air suspension, automatic slack adjusters and Electronic Braking System (EBS).
- Plug-and-play LED lighting kits available in 12V, 24V and multi-volt configurations.
- Oversize signage, warning beacons and compliance markings fitted and ready for the road.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAILER FOR YOUR LOAD
Every load presents different transport requirements. CTE’s trailer range offers configurations for varied machinery, loading methods and operational demands, with options to tailor the deck, running gear and equipment to your application.
Dropdecks
Designed for varied machinery, CTE dropdeck trailers feature separate upper and lower decks to accommodate different loads and loading configurations.
Super Tilts
Designed for machinery that cannot be driven on, CTE Super Tilts combine a fixed top deck, tilting main deck and hydraulic winch for controlled loading.
Floats & Low Loaders
Designed for heavy and oversized machinery, CTE floats and low loaders feature a low deck height to provide additional clearance for taller plant and easier loading.
Tag Trailers
Designed to extend carrying capacity, CTE tag trailers can be paired with a tilt slide to transport two machines in a single trip.
DROPDECKS
CTE dropdeck trailers feature a raised top deck and a lower main deck, giving operators flexibility when transporting different types of machinery. With multiple axle arrangements, hydraulic ramps and configurable storage, each build can be tailored to suit the equipment being carried and the way it needs to be loaded.
- Tri-axle or quad-axle configurations with 17.5-inch or 19.5-inch running gear.
- Top deck and main deck with different ramp configurations.
- Hardox wear plate flooring: 4mm on the top deck and 6mm on the main deck.
- Hydraulic rear ramps with float position on the ramp controls.
- Top deck ramps with onboard storage.
- Floor tie-down points across both the top deck and main deck.
- Coaming tie-down slots with stainless steel trims.
- Heavy-duty toolboxes positioned at the front of the decks.
- Wideners extending to 3.5 metres for oversized machinery.

- Non-skid finishes on ramps and outer decks.
- Specialist configurations, including a poultry transport dropdeck with a hydraulic roof designed to facilitate loading poultry cages.
SUPER TILTS
CTE Super Tilts combine a fixed top deck with a tilting main deck and hydraulic winch. This configuration allows equipment that cannot be driven onto the trailer to be loaded using the winch, while retaining the carrying capacity of a full semi-trailer.
- Tri-axle configuration with 17.5-inch running gear and 11-tonne air suspension.
- Hardox wear plate flooring: 4mm on the top deck and 6mm on the main deck.
- Profile-cut coamings: 10mm on the top deck and 12mm on the main deck.
- Hydraulic winch with a six-function wireless remote.
- Up to 30 floor tie-down points.
- Up to 26 coaming tie-down slots with stainless steel trims.
- Container pins for 20-foot and 40-foot containers, with twist-lock supports.
- Deck rollers and midway deck supports.
- Alternative axle configurations.
- Widener configurations.
- Choice of winch brands, layouts and capacities.
- Custom toolbox layouts, including steel boxes with stainless steel lids and chock boxes spanning both sides.
- Stainless steel water tanks, spare wheel racks and mesh belly box storage.
- Work lights, warning beacons and auxiliary air supply.
- Polished or machined alloy rims and custom paint finishes.
FlOATS & LOW LOADERS
CTE floats and low loaders are built for heavy machinery where deck height and loading access are critical. Their low-profile design provides additional clearance for taller plant, while configurable ramp arrangements and heavy-duty construction accommodate demanding transport applications.
- Tri-axle or quad-axle configurations with 17.5-inch or 19.5-inch running gear.
- Gooseneck design with an isolating skid plate.
- 6mm Hardox wear plate flooring with a rear beavertail.
- Single-piece or split heavy-duty hydraulic ramps with float position control.
- Ramp power supplied by the truck PTO or a 12V electric power pack.
- Floor tie-down points rated for heavy machinery restraint.
- Coaming tie-down slots extending along the full deck length.
- Weld-on lifting points.
- Wideners extending to 3.5 metres.
- Rear-steer axles and dolly-neck configurations.
- Custom ramp layouts, including wider ramps with a centre gap and hardwood or grouser inserts.
- Built-in gooseneck storage and neck toolboxes.
- Hazard lights integrated into the ramps for visibility when lowered.
- Spare wheel racks, chain boxes and dog storage.
TAG TRAILERS
CTE tag trailers provide additional carrying capacity and can be paired with a tilt slide to transport two machines in a single trip. Available in different axle configurations, they can be equipped with tailored ramp arrangements, storage and other options to suit the operator’s requirements.
- Single, tandem or tri-axle configurations.
- Air suspension rated from 9 to 15 tonnes, with EBS braking.
- 6mm Hardox wear plate flooring.

- Toolboxes, spare wheel carriers and flag holders.
- Bespoke designs, including a low-profile forklift tag trailer with a custom low-deck chassis and forklift-operated ramps.
CUSTOM TRAILER SOLUTIONS
Not every transport requirement fits a standard configuration. CTE’s in-house engineering team works directly with operators to develop custom trailers around their specific applications, from specialised deck layouts and loading systems to integrated equipment such as cranes. Each design is modelled in 3D before manufacture, engineered to Australian Design Rules and built to CTE’s established quality standards.
If you can describe the job, we can engineer the trailer.
Frequently Asked Questions
The right trailer depends on your machinery, load dimensions and loading requirements. Dropdecks accommodate a mix of machinery, while Super Tilts use a tilting main deck and winch for equipment that cannot be driven on. Floats and low loaders provide additional clearance for taller plant, while tag trailers can be paired with a tilt slide to transport two machines in one trip.
CTE offers widening options for dropdeck trailers and floats, extending to 3.5 metres, along with extendable configurations for longer loads. Available options vary by trailer type and configuration. Oversize signage, warning beacons and compliance markings can also be fitted to suit the applicable transport requirements.
Yes. CTE Super Tilts feature container pins for 20-foot and 40-foot containers, with twist-lock supports. Container pins are also available as an option on tag trailers.
