A box trailer is a versatile type of trailer with four solid sides, often used by Tasmanian families, tradies, and businesses. At King Trailers Hobart, our box trailers are built tough for local conditions, making them perfect for transporting tools, garden waste, firewood, furniture, or camping gear.
Box trailers are used for a wide range of purposes, including landscaping projects, moving house, carrying building materials, and towing camping equipment. Many Tasmanian customers choose King Trailers box trailers because they’re practical, durable, and suitable for both personal and commercial use.
Box trailers are typically measured by the internal length and width of the tray area. For example, a 7×4 box trailermeasures 7 feet long by 4 feet wide inside the box. This ensures you know exactly how much space you’ll have for your load. At King Trailers, we stock popular sizes like 6×4, 7×4, and 8×5 box trailers.
Most quality box trailers, including King Trailers, are made from galvanised or painted steel for strength and long-lasting durability. Galvanised steel is especially popular in Hobart and across Tasmania because it resists rust in coastal areas.
Yes, many boat trailers are fitted with braking systems to keep towing safe. In Tasmania, laws require brakes for larger boats, usually over 750kg. We supply both Dunbier boat trailers and Mackay boat trailers, which are available in braked and unbraked models depending on your boat size.
Boat trailers are not truly universal. Different boats require different trailer setups depending on length, hull design, and weight. Brands like Dunbier and Mackay manufacture trailers designed to fit a wide range of boats, from tinnies to larger fibreglass models.
Yes, larger boat trailers can be fitted with electric brakes for better control, especially when towing heavier boats around Hobart or across Tasmania’s winding roads. Both Dunbier and Mackay trailers offer models compatible with electric braking systems.
With proper maintenance, a good quality boat trailer can last 15–20 years. Regular washing, checking wheel bearings, and replacing worn parts helps extend the life of your trailer. At King Trailers, we stock genuine parts for Dunbier and Mackay boat trailers to keep you on the water longer.
Boat trailers are designed to safely carry and launch boats. They use rollers, skids, and winches to make loading and unloading easy. Whether you’re launching at Hobart docks or a regional Tasmanian boat ramp, Dunbier and Mackayboat trailers are built to make the process smooth.
Boat trailers often use smaller wheels to keep the boat low to the ground, making launching and retrieval easier. Smaller wheels also help with manoeuvrability when reversing at Tasmanian ramps.
Dunbier boat trailers are proudly made in Australia. Known for their quality and durability, Dunbier has been supporting Australian boaties for over 50 years.
Mackay boat trailers are also manufactured in Australia. They are designed for reliability and are built tough for Australian conditions, including Tasmania’s coastal environment.
Boat trailers are generally made from galvanised steel or aluminium. Galvanised steel offers excellent rust resistance for Tasmania’s salty air, while aluminium provides a lighter option with natural corrosion resistance.

The right box trailer size depends on how much you’re moving. A 6×4 box trailer is ideal for small loads like furniture, whitegoods, or boxes of belongings. If you’re moving a larger home, a 7×4 or 8×5 box trailer gives you extra space and makes fewer trips. At King Trailers Hobart, we help Tasmanians choose the best trailer size for their moving needs.
Yes, trailer brake requirements apply in Tasmania and across Australia. If your trailer’s gross trailer mass (GTM) exceeds 750kg, it must be fitted with brakes.
