8×5 Builder Trailer — 2800kg GVM
The lighter Builder Trailer configuration focuses on secure storage, practical organisation and fast daily access without adding the full onboard workshop systems of the 3500kg model.
Trade King by King Kong Trailers
Trade King brings builder trailers, aluminium canopy systems and ute tray platforms together as one work-focused range — designed around storage, access, durability and the way Australian tradies actually use their gear.
Start with the setup you need now, then build around your work vehicle and equipment.
Trade King is organised around the jobs your vehicle and trailer need to do. Choose a builder trailer, build a canopy setup, or start with a dual-cab tray platform.
8×5 mobile storage and workshop systems in 2800kg and 3500kg configurations.
2-door and full-access 3-door aluminium canopies for professional vehicle fitouts.
1850mm dual-cab aluminium tray platform with upgrade-ready channels and structure.
Trade King add-ons designed to extend storage, organisation and day-to-day usability.
Builder Trailers are the centrepiece of the Trade King range. Both models use an 8×5 format, but they serve very different levels of worksite demand — from organised everyday trade storage to a fully equipped mobile workshop with onboard power, lighting, solar and water.
The Trade King Builder Trailer range is designed around how tradies actually work: secure tool storage, fast access from multiple sides, drawers and shelving that keep equipment organised, and heavy-duty running gear for daily site use. The 3500kg model adds integrated power, charging, lighting, water and expanded storage to create a more complete mobile workshop.
Shelves, drawers and dedicated storage zones keep tools visible, secure and easier to reach throughout the day.
Large side access and rear storage reduce the need to unload or climb into the trailer for everyday gear.
Tandem axle construction, electric brakes and all-terrain wheel packages support daily trade use.
The 3500kg model adds BMS-controlled power, batteries, inverter, solar, lighting and a 75L water system.
The lighter Builder Trailer configuration focuses on secure storage, practical organisation and fast daily access without adding the full onboard workshop systems of the 3500kg model.
The flagship Builder Trailer adds expanded storage plus integrated electrical, charging, lighting and water systems — turning the trailer into a far more complete mobile work base.
Both share the Trade King storage-first approach. The 3500kg adds a larger internal workspace, heavier wheel package and the onboard systems needed for longer or more remote workdays.
Best suited to tradies who mainly need secure, organised storage, accessible shelves, drawers and a strong tandem-axle work trailer without the full electrical and water package.
Best suited to customers who want a larger mobile work base with integrated power, solar, batteries, inverter, fridge slide, lighting and onboard water.

This section explains why the Builder Trailer is more than a storage box on wheels. It connects access, organisation, power and running gear into one work-focused system.
Shelving, drawers and enclosed storage areas keep equipment separated, visible and easier to retrieve.
Large side openings allow frequently used tools to be reached without unloading the trailer or climbing inside.
Rear storage is organised vertically and horizontally so smaller tools and consumables can stay sorted.
The 3500kg model combines a BMS control panel, two 100Ah batteries, 2000W inverter, 30A charger and multiple connection types for tools and charging.
Solar charging supports the onboard battery system when the trailer is used away from mains power.
The 3500kg model includes a 75L water tank and external tap for practical onsite utility.
Both models use tandem running gear and electric braking, with the 3500kg model stepping up to 16-inch 265/75R16 all-terrain tyres.
The aim is simple: less time digging through gear, less unloading and a more organised mobile base for the job.
Trade King canopy systems are built around professional access, reinforced aluminium structure and clean integration with flat tray platforms. Choose the compact 1400mm 2-door system or step up to the larger 1800mm full-access 3-door jack-off canopy.
The canopy range combines 5052 aluminium plate with 6061 structural framing. Reinforced openings, whale-tail locking and purpose-designed internal structure create a clean base for professional trade storage and vehicle fitout.
Durable aluminium panel construction across the Trade King canopy range.
Internal extrusion and perimeter structure support the canopy shell and openings.
Purpose-built locking hardware provides secure day-to-day trade access.
Wide side and rear access layouts reduce the need to reach deep into the canopy.
A compact aluminium canopy for dual-cab and trade fitout applications, built around a double-tapered roof, reinforced entry structure and 3-point whale-tail locking.
A larger full-access canopy with side and rear openings, flush-mount base, raised false floor, recessed rails and low-profile roof channels. It is compatible with 40 × 40 jack-off legs for suitable flat-tray applications.
Use your real detail photography here — locks, door openings, hinges, framing, roof channels, floor rails and finish quality. This section is intentionally image-heavy.
This is the section to sell the canopy properly. Rather than only showing the exterior, it explains the material, access, structure and fitout logic customers are actually buying.
The canopy body uses 2.5mm 5052 aluminium plate, balancing durability with an aluminium construction suited to professional vehicle fitout.
Structural 6061 aluminium forms the internal framework and perimeter support. The 3-door model uses 41-38C extrusion internally with 38 × 38mm perimeter tube.
Wide openings make tools and equipment easier to reach. The 3-door 1800mm canopy adds rear access in addition to side access for a more flexible fitout layout.
Trade-focused locking hardware supports day-to-day security and quick access. The 1400mm canopy uses a 3-point whale-tail locking system.
The 1400mm 2-door canopy uses reinforced entry framing around its door openings, supporting the structure where repeated daily access places the most demand.
The 1800mm full-access canopy includes a raised false floor with recessed rails, creating a cleaner base for organised internal fitout and equipment mounting.
Integrated low-profile roof channels provide additional structure and a practical foundation for future compatible fitout.
The 1800mm canopy is designed around a flush-mount base for flat tray applications without a raised tray lip.
The 1800mm 3-door canopy is compatible with 40 × 40 jack-off legs. Jack-off legs are compatibility equipment and are not listed here as standard inclusions.
The current Trade King canopy range is offered in KKT's customer-facing Black and White finishes.
The 1850mm Dual Cab T-Tray provides generous usable deck space and a reinforced aluminium structure designed as a base platform for trade use and future configuration.
Maximum dual-cab tray space with an upgrade-ready aluminium platform.
3mm 5052 headboard panel creates a practical foundation for organised mounting.
5mm 6061 main chassis rails provide the main aluminium structural platform.
Integrated tie-down rails support practical equipment restraint and day-to-day trade use.
Deck channels are designed around a platform that can support future configuration.
Trade King accessories are intended to extend the system rather than compete with the main products. Keep add-ons focused, compatible and easy to understand.
