  • Removal of sales tax on new trailers
  • Removal of duty for associated componentry
  • Improvements in axle weights, and tyre loadings 
  • Development of the Drawbar code
  • Development of the Brake Code
  • Development of the Manufacturing & Repair Code of Practice
The TTMF provide technical consultation to regulatory bodies and are involved with regulation changes and proposals that relate to:
  • National Technical Standards;
  • Heavy Vehicle Safety Issues;
  • Mass and Dimension Limits;
  • Performance Based Standards;
  • Development of Pro-Forma vehicles
  • Developing pre-engineered repairs and installations

Our members offer a range of engineering, design and drafting positions.
Fabrication & Assembly
Our members build a wide range of trailers and truck bodies, requiring fabrication and assembly skills with all types of materials and components. Opportunities include welding, machining, assembly, painting and electrical.

Stores and procurement
Whether a small store or a larger inventory warehouse, management of componentry and just-in-time purchasing are key to the work-flow of all our production and assembly facilities. Opportunities include procurement, forklift operation and inwards and outwards goods activities.
