Trailer Spare Parts Sunshine Coast, for Trailers That Actually Get Used

Yes, by delivery. Martin's manufactures and stocks trailer parts at three Western Australian stores and freights orders to the Sunshine Coast. There is no Martin's counter at Maroochydore, Caloundra or Noosa, so orders are placed through our online shop, by phone or by email and delivered to your address.

Under the national requirements, a trailer up to 750kg does not need brakes. Above 750kg and up to 2000kg, brakes are required on at least one axle, and override or surge brakes are permitted in that range. Above 2000kg, every wheel must be braked, override brakes are no longer allowed, and a breakaway system is required that applies the brakes automatically for at least 15 minutes if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle. Confirm your specific configuration with Queensland Transport and Main Roads before you build or modify a trailer.

ATM, the aggregate trailer mass, is the total weight of the loaded trailer when it is uncoupled and standing on its own jockey wheel. GTM, the gross trailer mass, is the weight carried by the trailer's own axles when it is coupled to the tow vehicle, so it excludes the tow ball download. Both figures appear on the compliance plate, and both matter when you are matching axles, springs and brakes to a trailer.

Sand and salt together are harder on a trailer than either alone. Bearings and seals suffer most, followed by brake internals where grit gets past the backing plate, and spring shackles and bushes that wear quickly once sand works into them. After a run at Teewah, Double Island Point or Rainbow Beach, rinse thoroughly and check hub temperature on the drive home.

In many cases yes, and it is a common upgrade for owners heading onto corrugated tracks and soft sand. The right assembly depends on your trailer's rating, chassis width and existing mounting points, so send us the compliance plate details and photographs of the current setup and we will tell you what will suit before you order.

It depends on the size and weight of the order and on your delivery suburb. Bearing kits, lights, couplings and small fittings travel as standard parcels, while axles, springs and suspension assemblies go as bulky freight. Email your parts list and postcode to sales@trailerparts.net.au or call (08) 9279-5777 and we will confirm the transit time and freight cost before you order.

Our range covers the running gear that caravans and trailers share, including axles, hubs and bearings, brakes, springs, independent suspension, couplings and lighting. We do not supply caravan interior fitout or appliances. If you are unsure whether a component is in our range, call us and we will tell you honestly.

Many of our components are manufactured by Martin's in Perth, and parts listed in our online shop meet Australian Design Rules where those rules apply. Every price shown includes 10% Australian GST, with freight quoted separately based on your order and delivery address.
