Engineered for the road, built to go the distance
A milk tanker works every day of the season under a heavy, shifting load. Our barrels sit on a sub-frame we engineered with a flexible mounting system so they aren’t locked to one chassis. When a truck retires after 5-7 years, we refurbish the barrel and simply fit it to a new one.
Tanker barrels
Liquid transport barrels designed with FEA and mounted on our own sub-frame. We’re the exclusive barrel supplier to a nationwide dairy fleet.
Fleet retrofits
We have nearly 30 years experience in running an annual milk tanker retrofit & replacement programme.
R&D
We’ve designed and built a prototype 5-axle rear steer trailer for milk collection, developed in collaboration with TRT. It copes with a 25 metres turning circle and holds up to 21,000 litres.
Barrel refresh and transfer
A barrel can outlast several trucks. We refurbish it and move it onto a new cab and chassis.
Maintenance & repair
Servicing, repairs and replacement parts for barrels already on the road.
____
Safer to drive
Stability, handling and braking are designed in. For example, our 5 axle trailer’s lower centre of gravity helps it corner and brake.
____
Coded welding
ISO 3834 Part 2 certified, with SOPs and verified checklists at every stage of fabrication and assembly.
____
Long-term partner
Our dairy tanker work has run consistently for nearly 30 years.
____
Less downtime
Our sub-frame design makes barrel changeovers quick, so trucks spend less time in the workshop.

Cut. Form. Build.
Precision manufacturing, assembly, installation and project management.
We partner with industry leaders setting the benchmark, and innovators looking to shape something remarkable.
Liquid tanker barrels, truck retrofits, barrel refurbishment and the 5 axle rear steer trailer. Off the road, we build large public artwork for state highway sites.
Yes, with FEA to check strength and weight. We developed the 5 axle trailer with a trailer-building partner, and in a fleet trial it covered more than 240,000 km.
Yes. It’s the core of our dairy fleet work, from one-off upgrades to full fleet programmes. On one programme, a new way of mounting the barrel cut annual retrofit costs by 63%.
Every tanker we build or retrofit meets hygiene, food safety and regulatory requirements, with welding certified to AS/NZS ISO 3834 Part 2.
