Galvanised 8×5 Tandem Trailer with 2000kg ATM

This 8×5 tandem trailer is one of the most popular trailer sizes in Australia. It’s the perfect balance of size and capacity! Large enough to carry bulky items, yet compact and light enough for most vehicles to tow easily. Moreover, its cost-effectiveness makes it ideal for both personal and commercial use. Designed with strength in mind, this 8×5 tandem trailer is built with dual axles, mechanical disc brakes and rocker roller suspension. As a result, it offers better load distribution, improved braking control, and added safety on the road. Whether you’re towing mowers, building materials, or bulky gear, it gets the job done with confidence. Additionally, our 8×5 tandem trailer for sale is fully hot dip galvanised in molten zinc, offering superior protection against rust and minimal maintenance. No matter the weather or terrain, this tandem 8×5 trailer is ready to handle Melbourne’s rainy and humid conditions. Another standout feature is the 1.9m drawbar, which is longer than most tandem trailers on the market. This extended drawbar improves towing stability at speed and makes reversing much easier—especially useful in tight spots or worksites. With a bed size of 8x5ft or 2.40 x 1.53 meters, this 8×5 dual axle trailer gives you plenty of space without becoming too large or heavy to manage. It’s ideal for transporting everything from machinery and tools to landscaping waste and pallets.

Benefits of 8×5 Dual Axle Over Single Axle Trailers:

Increased Load Capacity: Tandem trailers can carry heavier loads.
Improved Stability: They offer better stability and less sway.
Better Weight Distribution: Reduces stress on each axle and tyre.
Enhanced Safety: In case of a tyre failure, the other tyres can support the load.
Smoother Ride: Generally provides a smoother towing experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Farzad from TGT before coming down from NSW, advised him what I was looking for and he emailed through three professional itemised quotes. I selected an 8x5 tandem trailer with ramp which I am very happy with. Other people have commented on the quality of my trailer. I would highly recommend Farzad and his father from TGT for customer service, price and workmanship.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased my 7x5 trailer a few years ago and done over 5,000 kms. It’s  a heavy duty trailer and has been great - towed everything with ease with no issues. The quality is evident - long drawbar, heavy duty metal, rated chains,  strong clips, light truck tyres and wheels.  TGT is a family business - the owner and son build the trailers. I have been back a few times for a service and spare parts. Have always been helpful and friendly and gone above expectations on service. Highly recommended!
