Trailer Terminology
ATM / GTM
Aggregate (or gross) trailer mass ie the total legal permissible weight of the trailer including its payload. The ATM / GTM capacity can be found on the manufacturers' compliance plate affixed to the trailer.
Tare
The weight of the trailer when empty.
Payload
The legal maximum allowable load the trailer can carry ie ATM - tare = payload
Single Axle
The trailer has one axle (2 wheels)
Tandem Axle
The trailer has two axles (4 wheels)
Box Trailer
A 'box' trailer is an open topped trailer with sides (and not a fully enclosed trailer).
Override Brakes
Brakes are activated by inertia via a sliding shaft to the trailer tow hitch acting on either a hydraulic or mechanical (ie cable) connection to the brakes. A trailer braking control system to the tow vehicle is not required with this system. All of our trailers employ an override braking system as it's compatible with all tow vehicles.
What can your vehicle tow?
Check the manufacturer's plate or sticker to your vehicles' tow bar and also the vehicles' Owners' manual for the manufacturers' recommended towing capacity limits for both braked and unbraked trailers. The capacities quoted will represent the Aggregate (Gross) Trailer Mass (ATM / GTM) ie the total legal permissible weight of the trailer when loaded.

What can trailers be used for?
One of the main benefits of hiring a rental trailer is that they are suitable for a broad range of uses, including both personal and business use. This includes the following:
Furniture movement. If you have heavy pieces of furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, or dining sets, then hiring a trailer is a convenient solution that allows you to complete the move in fewer trips and with improved stability.
Construction material movement. If you run or own a construction business, hiring a trailer to transport your construction materials saves on the costs of a long-term purchase; trailer hire is also an ideal choice for construction businesses just starting out.
Common appliance movement. If you need to transport appliances, whether it's due to moving home or a recent purchase, hiring a trailer from your local Cairns renter helps to avoid any stress.
Livestock movement. If you own livestock and need to move them between locations, or else have just bought livestock, then hiring a caged trailer is an effective choice of transportation.
