Premium Galvanised Trailers
Why Are Our Galvanised Trailers More Expensive?
At Coffs Metal Works, we supply premium-quality galvanised trailers that are imported from overseas. These trailers are available through many distributors across Australia, often at a lower advertised price.
So why do our trailers cost more?
The simple answer is that we are not just a reseller. We are qualified trailer builders, repairers, and licensed motor dealers who upgrade every imported trailer before it reaches our customers.
Many businesses sell imported trailers exactly as they arrive from the manufacturer. We do not.
Before You Buy Elsewhere, Ask for Their Qualifications
Coffs Metal Works holds the following licences and trade certifications:
Motor Vehicle Tradesperson's Certificate (This is a Must Have for any upgrades)
Ours is Licence Number: MVTC195086
Motor Dealer's Licence (This is to sell trailers that are bult by others, with this lic you are just a sales yard and no more)
Ours is Licence Number: MD102418
Motor Vehicle Repairer's Licence (This is a Must Have for any upgrades or repares even fitting spare wheels and cages you must have this lic)
Ours is Licence Number: MVRL64404
These qualifications allow us to legally and professionally:
- Sell trailers
- Build trailers
- Repair trailers
- Modify and upgrade trailers
- Carry out compliance and safety improvements
- Provide expert after-sales support
Many sellers can sell a trailer. Very few are qualified to build, repair, and upgrade them.
Our Imported Trailers Are Upgraded Before Sale
Every imported galvanised trailer sold by Coffs Metal Works undergoes upgrades to meet the standards we expect for Australian conditions.
Our upgrades may include:
✅ Premium Japanese-made bearings
✅ Upgraded ADR-approved LED lighting
✅ Improved trailer wiring systems
✅ Higher-quality electrical connections
✅ Upgraded suspension components
✅ Improved axle components where required
✅ Quality fasteners and hardware
✅ Thorough workshop inspection and preparation
These upgrades significantly improve reliability, safety, and longevity compared to many standard imported trailers sold elsewhere.
Why We Don't Price Match
Customers occasionally ask us to match the pricing of cheaper imported trailers advertised online.
Unfortunately, this is not something we can reasonably do.
The trailers we sell are not the same product once we have completed our upgrades and inspections.
We simply refuse to send a trailer out the door that we believe could suffer premature failures due to low-quality bearings, poor wiring, substandard lighting, or inferior hardware.
While a cheaper trailer may save money on the day of purchase, it can cost significantly more in breakdowns, repairs, downtime, and frustration later.
Our Commitment
We stand behind our imported galvanised trailer range with a 5-Year Warranty because we have confidence in the upgrades we perform and the quality standards we maintain.
At Coffs Metal Works, our reputation has been built on supplying trailers that are safe, reliable, and built to last.
When comparing trailer prices, remember to compare what is actually being supplied, not just the sticker price.
Anyone can sell a trailer. We are licensed to sell them, repair them, upgrade them, and build them. That's the difference.
