  • Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I choose tandem over single-axle?
    Choose tandem when: your payload regularly exceeds 1,000 kg, you tow on highways frequently, you need maximum stability, or your load is tall/high centre of gravity. Choose single-axle when: loads are light, manoeuvrability in tight spaces matters, and you want lower purchase cost and registration fees.
    How much does a tandem trailer cost?
    Tandem box trailers start from $3,500. Tandem cage trailers cost $4,000-6,500. Tandem flat tops range from $4,000-8,000. Tandem car carriers start from $6,000. Heavy-duty commercial tandem trailers can exceed $15,000.
    Are tandem trailers harder to reverse?
    Yes, tandem trailers require more skill to reverse because the rear axle makes them respond differently to steering inputs. Practice in an open area first. Once you develop the feel, it becomes second nature. Tandem trailers are actually more forgiving of small inputs than single-axle trailers.
    Do both axles need brakes?
    Australian regulations require brakes on at least one axle for trailers over 750 kg GTM. Most tandem trailer manufacturers fit brakes on both axles for better stopping performance and even brake wear. Brakes on all four wheels is the recommended and safer configuration.

    About Tandem Trailers in Australia

    Tandem (dual-axle) trailers provide the stability and weight capacity that single-axle trailers can't match. With two axles sharing the load, tandem trailers tow more smoothly, brake more effectively, and can carry significantly heavier payloads without trailer sway.

    TrailerHub lists tandem trailer dealers and manufacturers across Australia. Compare box, cage, flat top, and specialist tandem configurations. Check axle ratings, brake systems, and overall trailer specifications for your towing setup.

    For loads exceeding 1,000 kg or for frequent highway towing, a tandem trailer is the safer, more comfortable choice. The dual-axle design distributes weight more evenly across the trailer frame, reducing stress on individual components and extending trailer life.

    Why Choose Verified Tandem Trailers?

    Tandem trailers are fundamentally more stable than single-axle trailers at highway speeds. The dual-axle footprint resists trailer sway (the dangerous side-to-side oscillation that can cause accidents). This is especially important when towing in strong crosswinds or passing large trucks.

    If one tyre blows out on a tandem trailer, the remaining three tyres keep the trailer level and controllable. On a single-axle trailer, a blowout drops one side of the trailer to the road — a much more dangerous situation.

    Buyer's Guide

    Tandem trailers are heavier than equivalent single-axle models (the extra axle, wheels, and springs add 100-200 kg). Factor this into your tow vehicle's capacity — the higher tare weight means slightly less payload for the same GTM compared to a single-axle with the same rating.

    Electric brakes on both axles are standard on tandem trailers above 750 kg GTM. Check that the brake controller in your tow vehicle is compatible and correctly adjusted for the tandem configuration. Some tandem trailers have brakes on all four wheels, others only on one axle.

    Turning radius is larger on tandem trailers — they track wider through corners and need more space in tight areas. Practice reversing in an empty car park before loading up for the first time.
