Brisbane-based trailer manufacturer Robuk used the Brisbane Truck Show to showcase its brand-new 26-metre PBS A-double combination.
Displayed behind a Kenworth K220, this innovative combination is owned by S&J McMahon Transport.
The A-double combination has been designed for both efficiency and safety, allowing the A-double trailer to tip without the driver needing to leave the cabin.
Along with its productivity and efficiency benefits, this set-up is also a tribute to Australia’s trucking community, with a Lights On The Hill Trucking Memorial Inc theme, honouring the legacy of fallen truck drivers.
Robuk was started in June 2020, when James Yerbury started building his own trailers from a small shed in rural Queensland. Back then, there were just three staff – now, less than five years later, Robuk has grown to a staff of close to 60 people.
While Robuk has become well known for its highly sought-after grain tippers, the company also manufactures dangerous goods trailers for mining and explosives, moving floor trailers, side tippers, and high-volume side tippers for the waste and mining industries.
Its trailers have become known for their low tare weight and durable construction – capable of handling anything the harsh Australian environment can throw at them.
“Robuk has always loved being part of the Brisbane Truck Show, and this year is no exception,” said Robuk Engineering National Sales Manager, Darren Riedel.
“The event is a fantastic opportunity for our team to showcase their work and take pride in what they build. It’s always special for our staff to welcome their extended families and friends to the stand, sharing firsthand the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into every trailer we produce.”
