Can your vehicle tow it?
Add up the trailer (1,000 kg) and the car you're carrying. That total must be within both your vehicle's towing capacity and your towbar's rating, whichever is lower. You'll find them in the vehicle handbook and on the towbar plate.
| Car you're carrying | Total to tow (approx.) |
|---|---|
| 1,200 kg small car | 2,200 kg |
| 1,500 kg medium car | 2,500 kg |
| 2,000 kg ute or 4WD | 3,000 kg |
| 2,500 kg (the most it carries) | 3,500 kg |
Short version: many medium SUVs and utes can tow a small car on this trailer. A full 3,500 kg load needs a vehicle rated to tow 3,500 kg, such as many dual-cab utes and large 4WDs. Check your own vehicle's figures.
Loading and tying down
- Keep the trailer hitched, on flat ground.
- Pull out the ramps and line them up with the car's wheels.
- Winch the car up slowly with the hand winch, or drive it up with a spotter.
- Stop with the car's weight slightly forward of the trailer's axles.
- Tie the car down at all four corners with rated ratchet straps or wheel nets. Leave it in gear with the handbrake on.
- Re-check the straps after the first few kilometres.
Need straps? Our Dalby shop sells ratchet straps: 500 kg $14, 1,500 kg $18, 2,500 kg $25 (saved site prices, 18 Oct 2026). There's no shop at Drayton, so pick them up in Dalby or bring your own.

Car trailer questions
How much can the car trailer carry?
Up to 2,500 kg. The trailer is rated at 3,500 kg ATM (the most it can weigh loaded) and weighs 1,000 kg empty (tare), so the vehicle you carry can weigh up to 2,500 kg. Check the car's kerb weight in its handbook or on the manufacturer's website.
What does my vehicle need to tow it?
Your vehicle's towing capacity and your towbar's rating must both cover the loaded trailer: the trailer's 1,000 kg plus the car you're carrying. For example, a 1,500 kg car makes about 2,500 kg in total. You also need a 50 mm tow ball and a working 7-pin flat trailer socket (or an adapter).
Do I need a brake controller?
No. The car trailer has electric brakes with an Elecbrake controller fitted, so you don't need one in your vehicle. Trailers over 750 kg (loaded, GTM) must have brakes. Over 2,000 kg they need brakes on all wheels that you control from the driver's seat, plus a breakaway system (Australian Design Rule 38/05).
How do I load a car safely?
Keep the trailer hitched to your vehicle on flat ground, pull out the ramps and line them up with the car's wheels. Pull the car up slowly with the manual hand winch (included), or drive it up with someone guiding you. Stop with the car's weight slightly forward of the trailer's axles, so the drawbar pushes down on the tow ball rather than lifting it.
How should I tie the car down?
Straps aren't listed as included, so bring rated ratchet straps or wheel nets. Tie the car down at all four corners, leave it in gear with the handbrake on, and re-check the straps after the first few kilometres. The National Transport Commission's Load Restraint Guide for Light Vehicles shows how.
Do I need to pay to book?
Yes. Your trailer is booked once you've paid online. Until payment goes through, it's still available to other customers, so book and pay as soon as you know your dates.
Can I pick up or return outside business hours?
Yes. Book and pay online 24/7. Access instructions are sent once your booking is paid, so you can pick up and return any time, including nights and weekends.
