barkertrailerspic

We have been in the business of manufacturing trailers since 1974, so we know what works – a no-nonsense approach to orders and production combined with good old-fashioned hard-work. This philosophy backs our long-term aim of making all our customers Barker customers for life.

Barker Trailers leads the industry with its innovative approach to design and manufacturing techniques, continual product improvement and focus on safety and efficiency for road users, operators and employees.

The benefits of owning a Barker Trailer are many. From the specification stage through to sales; after-sales support and beyond, you will be proud of the quality and finish of your trailer.

Barker Trailers is in the business of innovation. With an established research and development plan, we allocate a substantial budget to R&D projects. Regular participation in the major truck shows in Australia as well as visits to major overseas events ensures the design team is at the leading edge of trailer design and innovation.

Barker Trailers is in the fortunate position of building equipment for clients based on their specific requirements – these requirements are the basis on which the trailer specification is written. Additionally we operate an “open door” policy whereby the client can visit the plant at any time and see the trailer in fabrication and make suggestions before it is completed.
