Forklift Trailers

The MTE 2 and 3 Axle Semi Forklift Trailers are purpose-built for transporting forklifts, access equipment and other compact machinery.

Designed around a low deck height and shallow loading angle, these trailers make it easier to load machines with limited ground clearance. MTE hydraulic suspension allows the trailer to lower for loading, while the widening axle system provides additional clearance between the wheels when required.

A full-width hydraulic rear ramp, extensive load-restraint points and multiple integrated chain-storage compartments make the trailer practical, safe and efficient for everyday transport operations.

Design Features

Forklift Trailers - Shallow Loading Angle
Shallow Loading Angle

The hydraulic suspension lowers the trailer to create a gradual loading angle, making it suitable for forklifts, scissor lifts, access equipment and machines with low ground clearance.

Forklift Trailers Widening Hydraulic Axle
Widening Hydraulic Axles

The axle assemblies can widen independently, providing greater clearance between the wheels for wider machines. Sections of the deck fold down between the wheels when the axles are extended.

Forklift Trailers Full-Width Hydraulic Ramp
Full-Width Hydraulic Ramp

A single full-width hydraulic rear ramp provides a straightforward loading surface across the rear of the trailer. The ramp is operated using the truck’s hydraulic supply as standard.

Extensive Load-Securing Points

Deck-mounted chain slots, tie bars and heavy-duty chain lugs are positioned throughout the top and bottom decks, providing multiple options for securing different machines.

Forklift Trailer Low Deck Height
Low Deck Height

The low bottom deck keeps the machine’s overall transport height down while helping create the trailer’s shallow approach angle. The 2 axle model has an approximate deck ride height of 608mm.

Forklift Trailer Protective Front Bulkhead
Protective Front Bulkhead

A full-width front bulkhead provides additional load protection, with a rubber bumper positioned across the bulkhead to help protect transported machinery.
