Need a strong, versatile 8×5 tandem trailer for work, transport or general heavy-duty use? Roshar Trailers builds durable tandem trailers in Melbourne for customers who need a practical open trailer with solid load capacity, reliable towing performance and long-term value.

This trailer tandem 8×5 setup is built locally at our Braeside factory and suits a wide range of commercial, trade and property-use applications. With a 2000kg GVM, heavy duty chassis and reinforced draw bar, it is designed for real working conditions.

Unlike a cage model, this open trailer format gives you easier top and side access for loading machinery, bulky materials, pallets and oversized items.

Australian owned. Built locally. Made for real work.

Why Choose an 8×5 Tandem Trailer

An open 8×5 tandem trailer is a smart option when you need flexibility across different types of loads.

This trailer is well suited to:

• machinery and equipment transport
• palletised loads
• building materials
• tools and site supplies
• farm and property use
• general freight
• bulky items that need open access

For many buyers, the biggest advantage of a standard tandem trailer is easier loading and unloading from the top, rear or sides.

If you need more load containment for green waste, loose materials or furniture, view our 8×5 Tandem Cage Trailer.
