Get Your Trailer Road-Certified

Selling a trailer with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of 750–4,500 kilograms?

You need a safety certificate before you can transfer it to a new owner.

But getting certified doesn’t mean you need to drop your trailer down at the workshop or take a half-day off work.

Our approved examiners are licensed to provide mobile safety inspections – which means we’ll come to you, wherever you’re located across the Gold Coast, Brisbane or Ipswich.

All you need to do is call, book a time and day that suits you, and make sure your trailer is relatively clean and located on a flat, stable surface.

And, if you think something needs replacing or repairing before your inspection, tell us when you book – our examiners are qualified mobile mechanics and can perform on-the-stop repairs to get your trailer up to scratch.

What Our Customers Say

Trailers Over 4.5 Tonnes

If your trailer has an ATM of 4.5–10 tonnes, you need a certificate of inspection (COI), not a safety certificate.

COIs are for passenger and heavy vehicles and must be issued for applicable vehicles every 12 months.

Here’s what our mobile examiners will audit your heavy trailer for.

Trailers Under 750 Kilograms

If you’re selling a trailer under 750 kilograms ATM, you don’t need a safety certificate.

Instead, complete a vehicle details inspection sheet or provide your caravan’s details during registration.

Be aware: ATM is not your trailer’s unladen weight.

It’s the total mass of your trailer when carrying the maximum load recommended by the manufacturer.

Certificate FAQs

What is a safety certificate for a trailer?

A safety certificate is a document that proves your trailer has been assessed as roadworthy by an approved examiner. You normally need a certificate to transfer or re-register your vehicle.

Safety certificates can be digital or handwritten. Each one includes:

  • a unique certificate number
  • your vehicle’s details
  • the details of the approved inspection station (such as us) and examiner (such as one of our staff)
  • the inspection date and time
  • the odometer reading at the time of inspection
  • confirmation of the checks conducted.

All certificates are lodged with the Department of Main Roads and Transport. Safety certificates don’t need to be displayed anymore, even if they’re handwritten (although some examiners may still have outdated blue safety certificates that mention a display requirement).

Who inspects trailers over 10 tonnes?

Heavy trailers over 10 tonnes can’t be inspected by us or any other approved inspection station. Instead, you’ll need to book an inspection with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). All heavy trailers must comply with the National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual.

How long does a trailer safety certificate last?

For anyone who isn’t a licensed motor dealer, safety certificates are valid for 2 months or 2,000 kilometres (whichever expires first) from the date of issue.

You can use the same safety certificate to register a trailer and then sell/transfer it, but you can’t use the same safety certificate for more than one sale/transfer. Each new transfer needs a new safety certificate.

What are the requirements around safety chains?

For light trailers under 4.5 tonnes without breakaway brakes, you need at least one safety chain connecting the trailer to the towing vehicle. Fixed or rigid drawbar pig trailers with gross trailer masses (GTMs) of more than 2.5 tonnes must have safety chains and automatic pin-type couplings – even if they do have breakaway brakes.

According to s 146 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management—Vehicle Standards and Safety) Regulation 2021, a safety chain can be a chain, cable, or other flexible device, but must be strong enough that the trailer is kept in tow (without the drawbar hitting the ground) if the coupling accidentally breaks or detaches. If a safety chain is stretched, nicked, frayed, or otherwise corroded, your trailer won’t pass its inspection.

You can read more about safety chain specifications here.
