Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a cage trailer used for?

    A cage trailer is a box trailer fitted with high mesh sides, designed to safely contain loose, bulky or lightweight materials. It is commonly used for transporting green waste, furniture, moving boxes, landscaping supplies, camping gear and household rubbish. The mesh cage prevents items from shifting or falling out during transit, making it safer than an open flat trailer for lighter loads. Cage trailers are popular for tip runs, home moves and yard clean-ups where extra height and containment are required.

  • Do I need a special licence to tow a cage trailer?

    In most Australian states, a standard Class C car licence allows you to tow a cage trailer, provided you stay within legal weight limits. Most cage trailers are either unbraked (up to 750kg ATM) or braked for heavier loads. It is essential to check your vehicle’s towing capacity, including both braked and unbraked limits, before hiring. Drivers must also ensure safety chains, trailer lights and load restraints meet road regulations to remain compliant and safe.

  • How much weight can a cage trailer carry?

    The weight capacity of a cage trailer depends on its size, axle configuration and Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM). Smaller single-axle cage trailers may carry lighter loads such as garden waste or furniture, while tandem axle versions can handle heavier materials. It’s important not to exceed the trailer’s rated capacity or your vehicle’s towing limit. Overloading can affect braking performance, increase tyre wear and create instability while towing, especially at highway speeds.

  • What size cage trailer do I need for a tip run or moving house?

    For a small household clean-up or garden waste removal, a 6x4 cage trailer is often sufficient. Larger clean-outs, renovation waste or small home moves may require a 7x4 or 8x5 trailer with higher sides for extra volume. Consider both the amount of space needed and the total weight of the load. Choosing a trailer that is too small may require multiple trips, while selecting the correct size improves efficiency and reduces transport time.
