Some jobs need a locked box full of tools. Others need somewhere to throw a load of pipe, pavers or green waste. Most tradies end up doing both in the same week, and towing two trailers, or making two trips, gets old fast.
The Combo Tradie Trailer XL is built for exactly that. Here is what it is, who it suits, and what to check before you buy one.
What the Combo XL is
The Combo XL puts three things on one 10x5 dual-axle trailer: a lockable toolbox at the front, an open rear tray behind it, and a tradesman rack on top. It is a galvanised steel and aluminium heavy-duty build with a powdercoat finish, rated at a 3,500kg aggregate trailer mass (ATM), and it carries its own power, so you can run 240V tools and devices on site from its own batteries.
Who it suits
The Combo XL is for tradies whose work mixes tools and materials. That usually means:
- Landscapers and irrigation crews carrying tools plus bulky or dirty loads
- Plumbers and drainers who need fittings locked up and pipe on the rack
- Maintenance and property crews moving between jobs with a bit of everything
- Anyone who is tired of choosing between a tradesman trailer and a box trailer
If everything you carry is tools and fittings, a fully enclosed tradesman trailer may suit you better. If you need both, the Combo XL is worth a look, or the longer Combo XXL if you carry bigger loads.
Toolbox, tray and rack
Each part of the trailer does a different job:
- Lockable toolbox (1.5m x 1.5m) with shelving, drawers, lockable compartments and underfloor storage, so tools stay organised and secure
- Open rear tray (1.5m x 1.5m) for bulkier items you do not want inside the toolbox
- Tradesman rack of 1400mm x 1400mm that extends to 3900mm long by 1000mm wide, for pipe, timber and ladders
- Fridge slide with power that takes a fridge of up to 90L, so food and drinks stay cold on site
Power on the job
The Combo XL carries its own off-grid power setup:
- 100W monocrystalline solar panel with a 20A PWM 12V/24V controller
- 2 x 100Ah sealed lead acid batteries
- 2000W pure sine wave inverter with in-rush current protection, running 3 x 10A GPOs
- 15A Clipsal inlet and 30A smart 9-stage charger to top the batteries up from mains at the yard
- 2 x 50A Anderson plugs, RCD protection, an intelligent electrical management system (EMS) and 12V strip lighting
How long the batteries last depends on what you run, so think about your heaviest tools when you plan your day.
Built for rough sites
- Galvanised steel RHS frame with a powdercoat finish in black, white or silver
- High-strength 50mm solid axle rated to 3.5T with 8-leaf rocker roller suspension for steady towing over rough ground
- 4-wheel electric drum brakes with a park brake
- Alloy XD Series 16 inch rims with 265/75R16 all-terrain tyres
- 50mm tow ball coupling with 2 x 12mm safety chains compliant with AS 4177.4 - 1994

Combo XL or Combo XXL?
Both share the same running gear, toolbox, batteries and inverter. Choose the XL (10x5) if you want the combo setup in a more compact trailer. Choose the XXL (13x5) if you need a longer 2.4m x 1.5m rear tray, a 4800mm x 1000mm extended rack and two solar panels instead of one.
What to check before you buy
- Your tow vehicle. Your vehicle must be rated to tow at least the trailer's 3,500kg ATM, with a 50mm tow ball. Check your owner's manual for the towing capacity.
- A brake controller. The trailer has electric brakes on all four wheels, so your vehicle needs an electric brake controller.
- What goes where. Work out what you need locked in the toolbox, what rides in the tray and what goes on the rack, so you know the XL has the room you need.
- Your power needs. List the 240V tools you run on site and how long you run them for.
- Delivery. We deliver Australia-wide from our yard at 11 Jade Dr, Molendinar on the Gold Coast, or you can collect from the yard. Delivery is quoted to your postcode.
