Service Body Trailers
Need an easy to tow trailer that’s light, low maintenance and fit for your purpose? We manufacture and sell complete trailers, registered and delivered anywhere in Australia. Look no further than Hidrive.
A One-stop-shop for trailers that are fit for your purpose
Like an aircraft fuselage, our aluminium canopies are light, durable and built to withstand the toughest conditions. We’ve engineered them to maximise payload and stability, improve fuel efficiency, and be resistant to corrosion, UV damage and vibration.
We stand by every product we make which is why we offer end-to-end servicing and support for the lifespan of your Hidrive trailer or service body. Plus, our products are made right here in Australia, so you know you’re getting reliable Aussie-made quality at every stage of the supply chain.
Light, tough alloy trailers
Our trailers are the best money can buy, and because we manufacture them using aluminium, they’re light, durable, and won’t rust.
Less weight means you can carry more gear and stay under the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) limit. It also helps reduce fuel costs and braking distances.
These are just some of the benefits built into every Hidrive product. Speak to our team so we can understand what you need to succeed and recommend the right trailer for you.
Industry leading trailers, engineered to last
Our experienced in-house team of designers and engineers helped us bring to life our vision of a range of workhorse trailers that are functional, fit-for-purpose and fully compliant. You won't find higher spec, more reliable trailers than our Hydraulic and All Rounder range.
Features that put your gear and your team first
Our Hydraulic and All Rounder trailers come equipped with a suite of accessories and storage solutions that ensure you'll be ready for any job, anywhere. Standard features like solar panels, roof and underbody storage, One-Click shelving and drawers, and much more, are designed to boost productivity, reduce manual handling and keep your gear organised and secure.
Nationwide support for the life of your Hidrive
We're the only manufacturer of canopies for utes, trailers and trucks with a company-owned national installation network. We offer the convenience of installation and servicing centres in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Goulburn, Sydney and Brisbane. Plus, our Customer Care team will be with you for the lifespan of your Hidrive trailer, ironing out any bumps that arise along the way.
What's included?
Unlike our service bodies for utes and trucks which we install onto your existing vehicle, Hidrive trailers are a complete package and cannot be installed onto an existing trailer.
Our trailers include the aluminium rolling chassis. We make the floor and everything above it. This minimises weight, reduces waste and maximises the use of space (there’s no point having a trailer with two floors).
Our trailers are equipped with a range of purpose-built accessories so your crews can get the job done efficiently and safely for years to come.
Hidrive trailers come complete with a fitment declaration for ADR compliance, weight compliance report and full registration in your state or territory.

- GVM complianT Ensure your fleet has the flexibility to legally carry the maximum payload from day one. Nobody ever regrets getting a GVM upgrade - as over the life of the vehicle, there will be times you’ll need the extra payload. It also helps you maintain optimal traction of the front wheels, a legal roadworthiness safety compliance checkpoint. Hidrive bodies are light, which also increases available payload. Boosts resale values as it maximises the number of buyers that will consider your vehicle.
- Light & Strong Save on fuel costs, carry more, stay under legal payload and reduce breaking distances without sacrificing the durability your job demands.

Modinex trusted Hidrive to design and manufacture a fleet of premium, fit-for-purpose ute service bodies for the sales team.
One of the reasons why mechanics join and stay at EMS is the gear we get to use, especially the vehicles. We couldn’t be happier with the Hidrive service bodies on our trucks and utes, they’re so much easier and safer to work with.

Thanks to Hidrive’s attention to detail and expertise in customisation, my service body is not only durable and reliable, but it’s also designed to meet my unique needs. Great quality, great product & great service!
As a field mechanic for John Deere, having a reliable and fully customised service body for my Ford Ranger is essential to getting the job done efficiently. That’s why I turned to Hidrive, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s simply fantastic!
Canberra Pest Control has had Hidrive build all our new vehicle service bodies for the last 3 years. The quality of the product is second to none and the after-sales service continues well after the vehicles are delivered. I highly recommend Hidrive and will continue to use their products and services for many years to come.
“In my opinion they are leaders in their field when it comes to the quality and durability of their product, technical expertise, national coverage capability, competitive pricing and account management. They also provide strong after sales support and warranty work without any issues.”

Your questions answered
Yes, Hidrive service bodies are built with a multi-fit chassis to enable transfer to another vehicle of the same chassis size, improving resale and the lifetime value of your investment. For example, a Hidrive on a HiLux ute can be transferred to a Ranger, a BT-50, a Navara, an Amarok or a Triton! Plenty of Hidrives have been in use for 20 years or more!
Your dedicated Hidrive Mobile Workspace Specialist will work closely with you to design the ideal build or fleet for your needs. Once you’re satisfied, they’ll assist you (or your dealership or fleet manager) through the order confirmation process to make sure everything goes smoothly. Typically, we require a 30% deposit or a purchase order from an approved customer to commence our production process.
Yes, we use high-quality automotive grade 2K paint and can match your new canopy to any OEM standard colour. Metallic paint incurs additional cost.
Hidrive can licence the trailer as part of the process.
While our trailers are designed to withstand extremes, it is recommended that tailers operate within safe working limits.
We do not always have demonstration trailers at every location nationally, so please call ahead to check prior.
We do have demo utes. We can put the same full variety of service bodies (in essence) on trailers.
Please contact us to make time to view a trailer.
Yes, all 3.2 ton trailers have electric brakes.
Sizes up to 3.5 meters.
Dual-axle is offered to deliver the rigorous quality standards that we set for ourselves at Hidrive.
2.0 ton and 3.2 ton trailer chassis.
Aluminium trailers are much lighter, so they are easier to pull, better for fuel economy, have a higher load capacity, reduce braking distances, and can help to meet GCM compliance, all without compromising strength and durability. Additionally, aluminium also does not rust and looks much better if stone chips occur.
This will largely depend on compliance requirements. Feel free to speak with one of our friendly staff.
