Australian owned and Australian made, Trailer Gates Australia (TGA) is a specialist when it comes to all kinds of truck and trailer gates.
All made-to-measure gates, as well as their range of off-the-shelf gates, are expertly designed and manufactured at the TGA’s Thomastown facility in the northern suburbs of Melbourne – just off the M80 Ring Road, which has easy access, even for B-doubles.
Owner of TGA, Duncan Stewart, took over the business in January 2023. Since then, he’s remained fully committed to creating top quality products using the highest quality materials.
Under his leadership, TGA has moved away from using inferior imported steel.
Instead, TGA exclusively uses high quality Australian made Bluescope Steel and Capral Aluminium for all its products.
Duncan says that by using this locally produced steel and aluminium, it not only ensures he can maintain the highest quality products, it also helps to support the Australian economy, by keeping more jobs here in Australia.
All of TGA’s products are manufactured by its in-house team of highly qualified master welders, who bring decades of experience – specialising in gates made from galvanised steel and alloy. Their expertise helps ensure high quality is maintained through every stage of production.
“Some of our competitors are offering inferior products imported from overseas. These trailer gates might be a little cheaper at the outset but they don’t have the same level of quality and durability that you’ll find in every gate that leaves TGA’s warehouse,” explained Duncan.
While TGA’s truck and trailer gates are typically made to order, to suit clients’ varying needs, TGA also has a range of off-the-shelf gate sizes available – with no wait time.
“TGA can custom make any sort of gate for trucks and trailers, from heavy duty load racks to lightweight alloy gates, or flat tray tautliners. We build gates for everyone,” added Duncan.
TGA has customers who are located all over Australia, from owner operators through to some of the country’s
largest trailer manufacturers. Each and every week, the company ships out hundreds of truck and trailer gates.
Its extensive list of clientele includes major trailer manufacturers such as Krueger, MaxiTrans, MaxiParts, Hunter Express, North-East Engineering, Drake Group, Alltruck Bodies, Shepparton Body Builders, Beavertail Trailers, Border Express, Mainfreight, West-Trans, TR Group, Combined Truck Bodies, and Austin Truck Bodies.
With its list of satisfied customers continuing to grow, TGA has exciting plans in store for the future.
Duncan revealed that in 2025, there are plans to build on its existing capabilities through the deployment of robotics. “This will lead to even greater precision, as well as a greater capacity to deal with larger clients,” said Duncan.
In addition, TGA offers gate measure-ups and installation services at its factory, and can also install its steel or alloy gates at its clients’ Melbourne metro locations if required, at a competitive price.
Standing by every gate that comes out of its factory, TGA offers a 12-month warranty on all its products.
TGA is ready and capable to take on new clients, including fleet managers and major trailer and truck body builders. Wholesalers are also welcome to get in touch with the team.
