Trailer Body
Low Tare Weight Trailer Body
All GLT aluminium bodies are fabricated from marine grade aluminium plate. Floor and wall sheet thicknesses can be customised to suit the application.
Each body is built on our exclusive extruded aluminium floor beams. The beams are specifically cambered to suit the body length. The process of welding the floor sheet to the beams and cambering the beams all happens simultaneously.
Glt Top Coaming image showing high quality craftsmanship
Top coamings are also an exclusive aluminium extrusion. These specialised extrusions increase the tub body strength while maintaining exceptional tare weight. All top coamings are either huck riveted or bolted with stainless steel bolts. This method of construction allows the coaming to flex and reduces the risk of cracking.
All trailers with a king pin position less then 900mm come standard with a Jost body lock. GLT bodies are designed to have the hoist feet mounted directly above the king pin to increase strength and stability while tipping. Bodies with upright hoists need the body lock to help hold the body in position while traveling.

Either select from our current PBS approved designs or talk to our team to discuss your particular needs. We have the ability to work with you and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) to bring your PBS dreams into fruition.

Our team will build the dog trailer to match your GLT truck body. Each front axle group is fixed to the trailer with a Jost double row ball race. A dolly lock option can be installed if you require. Both chassis tipper and tip over axle options are available.

GLT’s Reditip trailers come with a compensating, auto-lubricating turntable as standard.

Tough Steel Chassis
All our chassis are fabricated from 700-grade mechanical steel with quenched and tempered skid plates. Minor amounts of 350 and 250 grade steel are used for small profile gussets.

Each chassis is Hi-definition plasma cut cut. Our steel fabrication team are highly skilled qualified tradesmen. Miller digital pulse welders are used to lay a clean weld.

All edges on flanges are sanded and polished to reduce the chances of cracking and to help paint adhere to the steel.

 

Our pivots use a superior through design which greatly increases the strength of the pivot area. A 50mm pivot pin is slotted through a welded connection, making it exceptional strong.

GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson Intraax airbag suspension and axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can be optioned. Subtle design changes are made to the chassis to accommodate these different suspension brands ride characteristics.

Suspension for Aussie Roads
Suspension for
Aussie Roads
GLT trailers are designed to handle the harsh Australian conditions. The correct suspension and axle selection is one of the most important factors in the trailers’ ability to survive our unique roads.
GLT Custom Trailers using hendrickson suspension system

GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson INTRAAX air bag suspension and Hendrickson axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can also be equipped if requested. GLT is an authorised Hendrickson dealer which allows us to offer greater after-sales support.

GLT Trailer using air bag suspension built for Aussie Roads

Air bag suspension offers better ride quality, low tare weight and simplified ways of reading load weights. The prefered brands which we supply have passed our field testing protocol and have excellent after sales support. All trailers with air bag suspension are equipped with ball valve taps to isolate individual bags. These taps will allow you to shut off an air bag if it has an issue.

GLT Trailer Mechanical Spring Suspension

Mechanical spring suspension can be fitted to most GLT trailers. K-Hitch KHDO/KHU and FW88 are our preferred “spring” suspension models.
