Australian Engineered Trailers for Sydneysiders
Felk Engineering Pty Ltd is a renowned trailer manufacturer in Newcastle that sells trailer solutions to Sydney, NSW.
Despite our location, a large portion of our sales are attributed to Sydney. We primarily partner with mining and commercial clients as their HQ are often in the Sydney CBD. Our fleet of trailers are usually shipped nationwide.
We are a team of qualified engineers that are equipped to provide large volume orders, as well as specialised custom solutions. We work best when partnering with companies on a long term basis as we are a team of highly experienced Australian engineers.
Over our 50+ years in business, we have formed positive relationships with many Sydney locals and businesses. We believe this is due to the quality of our product and our high communication standards.
We understand that our Sydney clients are 90 minutes away from us. To account for this, we ensure our communication is effective and accurate.
- We are prompt to reply to all enquiries
- We perform the design phase with you
- We seek approval before proceeding with any works
- We take photos/videos as necessary
- We are a long term option
Many Sydney clients purchase custom trailers from us. We are in constant communication with them to ensure we understand the requirements. Felk Engineering have built thousands of custom trailer successfully, just check our reviews.
Some residents would prefer to buy local, just be sure to ask your Sydney trailer manufacturers these questions before you commit to anything. You want to know you’re receiving the best trailer for your money.
Felks is a consideration for buyers that want to receive the very best and are willing to take a short drive to collect it or have it couriered.
Transport options
We understand that travelling to Newcastle from Sydney should be planned. We are often asked about transport options to help our Sydney clients.
The options are as follows:

Our staff member Vaughan Felk is our Design & Product Manager, as well as an engineer.

For clients in Sydney, we are able to host an online meeting to discuss the design with you.
We work collaboratively with engineers from other organisations.

Is a Sydney or Newcastle based trailer manufacturer right for you?
This question really comes down to your long term goals of owning a trailer.
If you only need a trailer for the short term, you will find many budget trailer options available in Sydney. Sydney is quite a competitive market with many imported & low-cost trailers readily available.
Felks is typically a more expensive, blue label product that is built to last for the Australian conditions!
We partner with individuals all across NSW. The majority of our clients buy trailers that are thinking long term.
Many of our clients consider the 90-minute drive to us an investment. This time spent travelling will easily be repaid in trouble-free motoring. There are FELK trailers still on the road that are going strong and now considered vintage.
Commonly, Sydneysiders purchase from us and have their trailer serviced elsewhere.
