Customer Journey | April 2021By: April had us seeing double at Sloanebuilt, with a pair of new A-Doubles going out to their new homes along with a pair of new ACCO’s heading up to Queensland for delivery. Add to that our wideners, plant trailers, truck and dog, and semi tippers, and April added up to a huge month for deliveries! Stay up to date on our socials and website.

BKW Electrical and Earthworks - Tri-Axle Tag Trailer Blake from BKW Electrical & Earthworks came to see us a while ago for some tail light modifications to his existing truck. A few conversations later and he’s just put his new Sloanebuilt triaxle tag trailer to work. From little things, big things grow! Blake needed an ultra-versatile trailer so we fitted a 200l diesel tank and transfer pump with refueling reel; front hydraulic ramps and leg; Bisalloy deck and hammer well; airbag suspension with Air Brake Systems EBS + Roll Stability; two large custom toolboxes and some scrollwork by Dennis at Signs Lines 'n Scrolls.

TJB - Rigid Body and Quad Dog What other quad dog combo gives you a 41 tonne payload at 19m? Well, Tristan from TJB in Newcastle decided tear up the rule book and commission this new Sloanebuilt Trailers combination to show what can be done. He said I want an alloy extravaganza - alloy dolly, alloy hangers, Hendrickson lightweight axles and hubs and combined with the punch from the KENWORTH T410, he’s made a 41t payload a reality. And he’s done it in complete style - you need an hour to take in all the stunning detail. We went to town with PPG 2-pack metallic on the bins and tanks on the truck before he continued on with locally applied artwork to cap it off. It’s a testament to Tristan and his vision and we are honoured to be part of this journey. Click here for more photos!
