MTE Panel Trailers - Innovative, practical & reliable. Carry larger panels, with more flexibility than ever before!
The limitation in height of a standard panel trailer is caused by the axle itself. MTE sought to solve this problem and have succeeded with our range of innovative panel trailers.
With independent suspension, the MTE Panel Trailer axle does not need to go right through the chassis, allowing panels to be slotted into the tailer-well between the wheels, down to 250mm off the ground!
This means that you can transport a 4m panel upright without going over the NZ Transport 4.3m height restriction. Standard panel trailers could not accommodate this, which would result in the panels having to be transported flat - thereby creating a 4m wide load creating another problem rather than a solution.
All Modern Transport Engineers Trailers can be modified and built to your own custom specifications. We pride ourselves on being the total transport solutions provider. There is no trailer too big or small that we can’t handle.
