When maximum capacity is what matters, the Transtak 16 Tonne Tip Trailer delivers. Designed for large-scale farming and contracting, it’s built on our heavy-duty cross-braced RHS chassis with a reinforced Corten deck to handle the heaviest loads day after day.
The two-piece folded aluminium sides are lightweight, super-strong, and easy to remove or refit, giving flexibility for bulk silage, grain, or general cartage. A steep tipping angle, high-capacity hydraulic system, and flotation tyres ensure stability and will tip anything you throw at it.
Carrying up to 16 tonnes in one load, this trailer reduces trips, saves fuel, and maximises output. Tough, practical, and Kiwi-built, the 16 Tonne is the ultimate workhorse for serious operations.
At Transtak, we know the demands of New Zealand farming because we live it. Every trailer is designed and built right here, engineered to handle our unique conditions, and super tough to keep performing season after season. – Built Tough, By Kiwis, For Kiwi Farmers
With Transtak’s folded aluminium sides, you get all the strength of steel without the extra weight. The folded design makes them every bit as tough — and in many cases tougher — than traditional steel sides, while being much lighter to handle. That means you can take them off or put them back on quicker, with less strain on you and no other lifting equipment needed. Strong, simple, and built to make your job easier.
At the heart of every Transtak trailer is a cross-braced RHS chassis, engineered for maximum strength and stability. This design resists twisting under heavy loads and tough conditions, giving farmers confidence that their trailer will perform reliably season after season.
Transtak trailers are built in New Zealand, for New Zealand farmers. No gimmicks, no unnecessary frills — just a simple, no-fuss design that’s built tough to take the knocks, handle big loads, and keep working day in day out.

Heavy Duty RHS Chassis
Folded Sides, - Stronger & Lighter
Gain extra control and peace of mind when towing heavy loads — a braked front axle improves stopping power, spreads braking force evenly, and reduces stress on your tractor’s drawbar.
Connected either to your tractor’s remote brake valve, or to a second hydraulic remote.
Designed to swing fully clear of the deck & back against the trailer side, the two-way tailgate makes it easy to load equipment such as diggers or implements directly onto the trailer.
Stay compliant and visible on the public roads with rugged, sealed LED tail-light kits — designed to make sure your trailer is legal and safe from yard to highway
Make unloading more controlled with the hydraulic tailgate release. This lets the gate open smoothly at any tipping angle giving you greater flexibility for spreading operations.
1.2m Hay Extension, added to the back of trailer. Inserts into chassis beams for maximum strength or hung from rear post sockets if retrofit to an existing trailer.
