Dog Trailers
Built to work with the truck.
Dog trailers designed to integrate properly with your tipper setup — built for durability, balance and real-world performance on-site.
Built for civil, quarry and fleet applications
Full setup thinking
Built as part of the system.
A trailer only performs as well as how it works with the truck. Every Arrow trailer is designed to match the towing setup — from the tow connection through to hydraulics, braking and electrical systems.
The result is a combination that works properly on-site, not just on paper.

Complete working setup
Designed to work together.
Every trailer is built to integrate with the truck — not added on after. The full combination is engineered to perform under load and on-site.
The result
Truck-and-dog combination performs properly under load
Stable through cornering and reversing
No after-the-fact integration retrofits
Drawbar geometry and tow coupling matched to the lead truck
Hoist hydraulics fed from the truck's PTO and lines
Trailer brake harness wired into the truck's brake system
12V/24V electrical connections fully integrated
Engineering & structure
Specified for heavy work. Built to survive it.
Heavy-duty chassis design
Chassis rails sized to combination mass and route demands — no underspec sections at high-stress points.
Reinforced body construction
Side panels, headboards and floor structure reinforced where the load actually works the body.
Built for ongoing heavy loads
Engineered around real cycle counts — continuous fleet work, not occasional duty.
Designed for harsh site conditions
Quarries, tip sites, unsealed roads and weather extremes — all considered at the design stage, not after.
Features & options
Configure the trailer to suit the work.
2-way tailgate systems (air operated)
Heavy-duty drawbars and tow connections
Spreader chains
Tarp systems (manual or electric)
Spray suppression systems
LED lighting and safety systems
Access steps and practical operator features
Running gear & systems
Suspension, brakes and axles matched to the work.
The mechanical underpinnings — selected and configured for the load and route, not bundled to a default.
Suspension setups matched to application
Brake systems designed for load handling
Axle configurations based on job requirements
Built for stability and control
Why Arrow
Built as part of a setup, not a standalone trailer.
Part of a full setup
Built to integrate with the truck — not designed in isolation and bolted on after.
Designed for real-world use
Specified around the route, the load and the cycle — not catalogue assumptions.
Clean fabrication and finish
Visible welds laid clean. 2-pack paint to your colour. The unit looks the way it works.
Consistent build quality
Repeat builds match the first one. No drift on dimensions, finish or hardware between units.
Built to perform on-site
Hydraulics, brakes, drawgear and electrical balanced as one system that actually works under load.

The build process
From first call to delivery — four steps.
- 01
Tell us your truck and job
Truck make, towing setup, payload, route and any access permits — and any photos or drawings you have.
- 02
We design the full setup
GA drawings, axle group, drawgear, hydraulic and electrical layout — signed off before any steel is cut.
- 03
Fabrication
Built in our Campbellfield workshop. Welded, finished and inspected by the same team end-to-end.
- 04
Delivery ready for work
Compliance plates, weight stamps and handover paperwork. Delivered ready for work and backed after handover.
FAQ
Common questions, answered.
- Yes. Send us photos, dimensions and the tipper's payload spec. We'll design a dog that pairs cleanly — body height, hoist style, finish and capacity matched to the lead unit.
