01 / The range

Crates for the ute, the trailer and the small truck.

Unusual tray dimensions, wheel arches or a particular loading arrangement can make a standard crate unsuitable. We build around the space you have, with door positions, dividers, height and mounting points discussed for your job.

01

Wellside & flatdeck ute crates

Lift-off alloy crates with a rear ramp or drop door, adjustable divider and tie-down points, sized to the tray.

02

Calf crates

Low crates with solid lower sides, a non-slip floor and a rear door for carting calves from the paddock.

03

Sheep & pig crates

Full-height crates with mesh or slatted sides, a divider and a ramp for sheep, pigs and goats.

04

Trailer & truck crates

Crates for tandem trailers and small trucks, with double decks for sheep where wanted.

02 / Price & scope

Indicative stock crate pricing.

Indicative range only. Tray size, height, doors, dividers and the floor all move the price.

04 / The practical details

Questions about ute stock crates and calf crates.

Need a quote for an insurance-related job?

Send Matt photos, measurements and any written requirements from your insurer. He can discuss the job with you and confirm what he can quote for.

How do I get the crate on and off?

Tell Matt how you intend to remove and store it. The finished weight, lifting points, supports and equipment need to be considered together, with a handling arrangement agreed for the completed crate.

Will it fit my ute?

We build to your tray size, with the rear door where the tailgate or ramp lands. Wellside crates are shaped around the arches.

Can I move sheep and calves in the same crate?

Yes. A removable divider and a lower solid panel let one crate do both, with a mesh upper section for airflow.
