Another milestone reached, with this new trailer now on the road with Team Global Express.

Delivered in collaboration with JHP, this Freighter build is a great example of what can be achieved when experienced teams come together. From manufacturing and production through to final delivery, every step is focused on providing reliable transport solutions that keep freight moving across New Zealand.

A fantastic effort from everyone involved.

A great product doesn't happen by chance.

Behind every Freighter NZ build is a team of designers, engineers, and skilled fabricators working together to deliver solutions that stand the test of time.

Our end-to-end capability means every detail is considered, every component is engineered for purpose, and every build meets the high standards our customers have come to trust.

That's the advantage of working with a company that controls the entire process from design through to delivery.

There’s always plenty happening around the Freighter workshop.

While the trailers get all the attention, it’s the people behind them who keep everything moving, fabricating, welding, assembling and making sure every trailer is ready to roll.

Here’s a little look behind the scenes with the team that brings the Ready Range to life every day.

Sometimes it’s the conversations that matter most.

This Matariki, the Freighter team came together for a BBQ, took a break from the workshop and spent some time reflecting on what the season means to each of us.

One of the highlights was our gratitude wall, where the team shared what they’re most thankful for, from family and friends to good health, great teammates and the opportunities we have every day.

It’s a simple reminder that while we build trailers, it’s the people behind them who make Freighter what it is.

From our team to yours, we hope you had a wonderful Matariki. ✨

What goes into building the trailers you see on NZ roads every day? 👇
Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming CILT NZ Northern Section to Action Manufacturing for a behind-the-scenes look at Freighter and Fairfax in action.

From the factory floor through to finished product, it was great to share how our team brings ideas to life, designing and building gear that’s made to handle the realities of Kiwi transport. It’s the little details, smart engineering choices, and practical thinking that all add up to equipment operators can rely on.

More than anything, it was a chance to connect, talking shop, answering questions, and giving people a closer look at the people and processes behind the brand.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great evening 👏 We always value the opportunity to open our doors and be part of conversations that keep our industry moving forward.
