The 2.7T trailer is rated for the 1.7T ViO17-1 only — it can't legally carry the heavier 2.1T ViO20-6. The 3.5T trailer carries either machine, and every combo tows under the 4.5T limit for a standard WA C-class car licence.

Delivery within 25km of Perth CBD: $70 each way — $140 return, flat rate. Or tow it yourself on a standard car licence — the trailer is FREE with a 7+ day excavator hire.

All rates are per day and exclude GST. *"From" prices are based on the 7-day+ hire rate. Long-term hire rates available on request — long-term and repeat customers get our best pricing.
