Plant Trailer Brian James Eco Plant 2
Brian James Eco Plant 2
Brian James Eco Plant 2 plant trailer — the trailer we tow our compact scissor lifts on, available with an approved customer pickup.
No machine in this category matches that filter.
What trailers are for
Plant trailers move a machine when pickup makes more sense than delivery. Each trailer is matched to the machines it is rated to carry, and the combination has to be legal for the tow vehicle as well as the load.
Typical jobs
- Collecting an approved machine from the depot
- Moving a machine between your own sites
- Short jobs where delivery and pickup cost more than the hire
- Weekend and after hours collection

The figures customers decide on, side by side. A cell reading "Ask us" means the specification is not recorded for that machine, so we confirm it from the manufacturer sheet rather than print an estimate.

Ground, access and licences
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Ground it works on
A trailer needs a firm, level loading area at both ends and room to reverse. Loading a machine on a slope or on soft ground is where trailer incidents happen.
Access and the route in
Check the towing combination before the trailer: the tow vehicle rating, the towball download and the licence class. The trailer ATM on its own does not tell you whether your vehicle can legally tow it.
Licences and training
Towing is decided by the tow vehicle, not the trailer. The combination has to sit inside the vehicle manufacturer rated towing capacity, the towball download limit and the gross combination mass. A trailer ATM figure on its own does not tell you whether a licence class covers it.
The operator still needs the training the machine requires once it is off the trailer, and pickup is only approved for machines we have matched to the trailer.
Give us the tow vehicle make, model and year and we will check the combination with you before you collect.
Delivery and pickup
We deliver
Our depot is at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Delivery is quoted with the hire, by suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, so you see one figure rather than a surprise on the invoice.
Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
Or you collect
No machine in this category is currently approved for depot pickup. Approval needs a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and where we do not hold both we deliver on our own truck instead of letting a customer find out on the ramp.

Answer a few quick questions about the job, the height, the ground and the tightest opening. We match it against the recorded specifications of every machine we can verify, and show you what fits and what does not.
Questions we get asked
Answered from the recorded specifications of the machines above and from the rules that apply in NSW, not from a general article.
Can I collect a machine myself?
Not in this category. Pickup is only approved where we hold a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and no machine here currently meets both. These are delivered on our own truck, with delivery quoted by suburb.
How is delivery quoted?
By suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, quoted with the hire so you see one figure. Our depot is in Western Sydney at Berkshire Park and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
