The Transtak 8 Tonne Tip Trailer is built for serious farm work, with a cross-braced RHS chassis and reinforced deck designed to take the knocks day after day. Its folded aluminium sides are lightweight, super strong, and easy to remove or refit by hand — giving in-field flexibility and saving time and your back across a busy season.
With a heavy-duty running gear, a steep tipping angle, powerful hydraulics, and flotation tyres, the 8 Tonne makes light work of heavy loads, from silage to soil. A no-fuss workhorse, designed and built in New Zealand for Kiwi farmers.
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 triangulated & 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.

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.
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.
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
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.
