Specialised Trailers and Parts

21/09/2026

Last week we had the opportunity to visit IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, Germany – one of the world’s leading exhibitions for the commercial transport industry.

For us, trips like these are about much more than looking at new trailers.

They’re an opportunity to see where the global heavy transport industry is heading, study the latest designs and engineering ideas, speak to people from across the industry, and keep abreast of developments in specialised transport equipment.

At Specialised Trailers & Parts, we believe that being a specialist means continually investing in knowledge.

We travel internationally, visit factories, attend the major industry exhibitions and keep a close eye on developments around the world – so that the advice we give our customers here in Southern Africa is based on current, first-hand industry knowledge.

Whether you’re looking at a new Cobalt hydraulic neck trailer, our euro extendable trailer or a complex modular multi-axle combination, our customers benefit from the research, experience and international exposure that goes on behind the scenes.

There were certainly plenty of interesting ideas and impressive equipment on display in Hannover. Here are a few of the trailers that caught our attention.

Specialised equipment. Specialist knowledge.

That slow-moving lowbed with the flashing es**rt lights? There’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than you might think. 🚨🚛

Under South Africa's National Road Traffic Act, a load officially becomes "abnormal" as soon as it crosses any of these limits:

📐 2.6m wide
📏 4.3m high
🛣️ 22m long
⚖️ 56 tons gross mass

Cross just one threshold, and the real planning begins: statutory permits, approved route surveys, power line clearances, and restricted travel hours (often only moving after dark).

At QuickSILVA PLANTRANZ, this is our bread and butter. We handle the red tape and route engineering so your equipment lands on site safe, compliant, and right on time. ⏱️

Planning your next heavy move? Reach out to our transport team early.

Right now, a whole line-up of new Cobalt Trailers from right across the range is being prepared for delivery to our customers across Southern Africa.

Every trailer represents months of planning, countless conversations and most importantly, a customer who has placed their trust in us. No matter how many we deliver, the excitement never fades. Each one still feels like one of our own, and every handover is just as rewarding as the first.

To all of our customers waiting for these units – thank you for your continued confidence and support. We never take your trust for granted.

Whether you're looking for a legal lowbed, a removable gooseneck, a well deck, a step deck or a heavy-duty modular solution, we'd love to help you find the right answer for your operation.

Join the Specialised Trailers family. If you're planning your next trailer purchase—or simply want to discuss your transport challenges—give us a call. We enjoy solving problems just as much as we enjoy delivering trailers.

Several years ago, Moshabe Trading purchased their first used 100-ton lowbed from us. From those early days, it has been a privilege to watch their business grow, and we were proud to be there last week as they loaded a brand-new Komatsu PC1250 onto their newly acquired HBS multi-axle from Specialised Trailers.

Thank you to the entire Moshabe team for your trust and continued support over the years. Long-term relationships are the foundation of our business, and we look forward to supporting your continued growth for many years to come.

Whether you're investing in your first trailer or expanding an established fleet, Specialised Trailers is here to help with practical advice, the right equipment, and the support to keep your business moving. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss your heavy transport requirements.

TRAINING DAY:
A couple of weeks ago we had the privilege of hosting our Namibian customer, AWH Africa, for just over a week while their technicians received hands-on training in the assembly, operation and maintenance of their new HBS modular multi-axle trailer combination.

This was followed by a trip to Windhoek for final inspections and a live 95-tonne load test at the customer's yard. The visit also gave the AWH team the opportunity to practise jacking and sliding procedures on their new equipment, ensuring they arrive on site with complete confidence in both the equipment and their own capabilities.

The professionalism of the AWH team and their commitment to doing the job properly is exemplary.

Training, technical support and long-term backup are cornerstones of the Specialised Trailers offering. Whether that means spending a week in our workshop or travelling across borders to support a customer on site, we are committed to ensuring our equipment performs exactly as intended.

Whether you're investing in a bespoke HBS modular trailer, a new Cobalt lowbed, or even a 20-year-old used well deck, you'll receive the same level of support and technical expertise. When you deal with us, you've got a partner who has your back.

If you need to talk lowbeds, get in touch. We'd be happy to help.

Congratulations to QuikSilva Plant Hire on taking delivery of their fourth new Cobalt trailer. (your first is never your last)

This venerable C50 slope deck has been specified with alloy rims, a hydraulic winch, and finished in a stunning gunmetal grey with a subtle metallic flake.

Beyond its robust design, impeccable build quality, and intelligent ergonomics, we challenge anyone to find a better-looking 3-axle slope deck trailer on the road today.

In heavy transport, the right advice is every bit as important as the equipment itself. With years of specialised experience, we focus on understanding your operation and recommending the solution best suited to your needs. If you have a transport challenge or upcoming requirement you'd like to discuss, please get in touch – we're always happy to share our knowledge and expertise.

Following the successful introduction of two G-Type goosenecks into their operation last year, Vanguard Pty Ltd have once again placed their confidence in HBS, adding units 3 and 4 to support their existing Goldhofer modular fleet.

Interest in the HBS modular range continues to grow across Southern Africa, with factory lead times now more than double what they were at the start of the year. If you're considering upgrading your heavy transport fleet or exploring the advantages of modular transport systems, get in touch. We'd be happy to discuss the right solution for your operation.
