Heavy haulers
WITH more than 40 years’ of proven performance behind the company, the Davey Group offers much more than just heavy haulage solutions.
The company is a leading provider of civil, structural and mechanical engineering, tanks, project development, agricultural and forestry equipment, blasting and paint services, and specialist aluminium welding services.
Since purchasing Lust Low Loaders in 2007, the Davey Group has transformed the brand into Rhino Low loaders – the benchmark of Australian manufacturing.
The Davey Group’s facilities are unparalleled in their ability to manufacture heavy duty, custom built trailers and dollys, and to provide a full range of spare parts and services to clients.
At its specialist facility in Toowoomba, Rhino dollys and trailers are built to the highest standard by Australian tradespeople for Australian standards.
The custom-built dollys can be designed and manufactured to very particular client-specific needs, such as varying axle and wheel combinations and turntable types.
The Toowoomba workshop employs only the most skilled tradespeople to build the dollys on time and to spec – every time.
For tri-axle and quad-axle low loaders, a dolly can jack up the payload capability by 14 tonnes.
The tri-axle low loaders have the optional capability of hydraulic widening, and wide decks that can span up to 4.2m, which can accommodate suspension widening, which allows for a more stable platform for high and heavy loads such as excavators and mid-range machinery.
With the optional read steering, the trailers can increase the payload manoeuvrability which has become increasingly desirable in Australia in recent years.
When the job requires the most heavy duty transportation, fully customised design is often required.
The Rhino quad-axle designs are tailored to client needs and can haul loads of up to 37t, and up to 52t with a 2x4 dolly.
Like the tri-axle trailers, the quad-axle can feature deck-widening capabilities to 4.2m, and can accommodate suspension widening to stabilise the platform for high and heavy loads.
These trailers are seriously tough and can transport anything from a dump truck to a super yacht.
The company also has a range of hydraulic ramps that can be custom-fitted to low loaders, as well as a full maintenance, repair, sandblast and paint facility on-site.
The facility services and supports the manufacturing facility as a one-stop outlet for all trailer requirements.
The Davey Group also specialises in large, complex industrial equipment, storage solutions, materials handling, processing plants and supporting infrastructure.
The company’s depth of experience and its second-to-none capabilities bring significant value to projects where timeliness, workmanship, budget and flexibility are crucial drivers.
The Davey Group operates from a modern 39,000sqm facility, which includes more than 8000sqm of workshops with overhead service cranes, and 8000sqm of hard stand area for storage and loading.
