Barker Trailers Information

Established in Woodend in 1974, Barker Trailers now manufactures from two Victorian plants in Woodend and Maryborough, with a total factory size of over 30,000 square metres. The trailers are designed with working drawings produced at Woodend. Trailer frames are built “from the ground up” by our team of highly skilled boiler makers and welders. Once this stage is completed, the frames are grit blasted and painted, ready for fit out and delivery to the customer. Barker Trailers employs around 200 people, with close to 25 apprentices employed at any one time. Around 7-8 apprentices are brought on board each year as Barker is proudly an active participant in apprenticeship training schemes. A well structured team approach is the key to Barker Trailer’s quality. Years of experience and know-how alongside quality systems that check each stage of a trailer’s manufacture from the drawing board to pre-delivery ensure a quality product every time. Ultimately, it is the client who assesses the quality of products and services and demonstrates their satisfaction with repeat business. We are proud to have a long list of loyal repeat clients since we were established.
