CIMC’s flat deck trailers are a perfect example of engineering tailored specifically to Australia’s unique transport challenges.

The range is designed to meet virtually every freight requirement. Trailer models include the versatile 45’ flat deck suitable for container work, extendable flat decks up to 21.5m for over-dimensional loads, flat deck leads to suit B-double and B-triple configurations, all optimised for high-efficiency freight movement.

Proven reliability is built into every element, with comprehensive standard inclusions such as the robust K-Hitch airbag suspension, reliable JOST turntables, kingpins and landing legs, Auto LED lighting, advanced EBS braking systems, multiple twist locks, heavy-duty rails, durable toolboxes, heavy duty gates and load rack, high-strength chassis construction, and forklift-rated steel chequerplate floors. These inclusions aren’t just standards; they’re essential tools to ensure safety and efficiency on Australia’s roads. Operators can count on reduced maintenance needs, helping fleets stay on the road longer and lowering total operating costs. When it comes to non-standard options, CIMC has you covered. Everything from timber chock boxes, extra toolboxes, radius guards, bolsters and pocket and rated solid headboards to name a few.

Beyond durability, CIMC trailers deliver exceptional value. Their strong resale value and reduced maintenance costs make them a smart investment for any fleet. Every design decision is aimed at maximising payload, enhancing operational efficiency, and providing a better return on investment over the trailer’s lifespan.
