Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy heavy-duty farm trailers in Ballarat?
While many dealers in Ballarat sell standard trailers, Meltrailer manufactures heavy-duty, hot-dip galvanised trailers in Ravenhall and supplies directly to Ballarat farmers. Our trailers are built to withstand the corrugations of regional roads around the Golden Plains Shire.
Does Meltrailer deliver to Ballarat and surrounds?
Yes. We service the entire Ballarat region, including Buninyong, Wendouree, and Alfredton. You can buy factory-direct and arrange delivery, or tow it back via the Western Freeway (M8).
Are your trailers suitable for the City of Ballarat's "Green Waste Week"?
Absolutely. Our 6×4 and 7×5 caged trailers are perfect for utilizing the City of Ballarat’s free green waste drop-off weeks at the Gillies Street Transfer Station. The cage allows you to maximize volume for branches and prunings.
Can I tow a trailer on a standard car licence in Victoria?
Yes, for most single-axle trailers under 4.5 tonnes GVM. This covers the majority of our range popular in Ballarat, provided your vehicle has the towing capacity.
Do I need electric brakes for a trailer in Ballarat?
If your trailer’s Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) exceeds 750kg, brakes are required by law. For heavy agricultural loads common in Ballarat, we recommend our tandem axle trailers with mechanical or electric brakes (rated to 2000kg+).
Why are galvanised trailers better for Ballarat winters?
Ballarat can be wet and frosty. Painted trailers often chip and rust quickly in these conditions. Our hot-dip galvanised trailers are submerged in molten zinc, sealing the steel against moisture and frost, ensuring they last decades.
Where is the nearest VicRoads in Ballarat for trailer registration?
If you need to transfer registration or handle complex vehicle matters, the VicRoads Customer Service Centre is located at 88 Learmonth Rd, Wendouree. However, Meltrailer handles initial registration for you.
Can you build a custom stock crate trailer for sheep?
Yes. As a manufacturer, we can customise trailers for Ballarat’s livestock needs. We can fit removable stock crates to our tandem axle trailers, perfect for transporting sheep or calves to the Ballarat Saleyards.
What is the best trailer for firewood collection in the Pyrenees?
We recommend our 8×5 Tandem Axle Heavy Duty trailer. The tandem axle provides stability on unsealed forest tracks in the Pyrenees ranges, and the heavy-duty chassis handles the dense weight of red gum firewood.
How do I maintain my trailer bearings for long highway trips?
If you frequently travel between Ballarat and Melbourne, check your bearings every 12 months or 10,000km. We use high-quality bearings, but highway speeds generate heat. Repacking them regularly ensures safety.
