MaxiTrans marks milestone with limited edition Freighter 75th year Diamond Pack
MaxiTrans is celebrating a major milestone for its trailer brand Freighter – 75 not out.
The trailer and parts maker deems the effort as creating a legacy that “is clearly as long as it is rich”.
“Freighter’s long and successful history is owed to our loyal customers,” MD and CEO Dean Jenkins says.
“Many of our customers are two or three generation Freighter loyalists.
“It is this on-going support that has helped build the legacy that Freighter prides itself on and will continue to be a part of every locally manufactured high quality trailer that is produced.”
“We sit here today reflecting on the great achievements of Freighter, from introducing the first curtain sided trailer into the Australian market, known in the Freighter family as the Tautliner, through to continuing to push the boundaries on performance-based standards (PBS).”

“A common theme across the years has been finding innovative ways for our customers to get more out of their equipment, allowing them to increase productivity with outstanding reliability, so they can focus on continuing to deliver the needs of the nation.”
“Seventy five years in operation is a significant milestone, not only for the Freighter brand, but for the wider transport industry too.
“Supporting Australian business and locally manufactured products is what has made it possible for the brand to continue to thrive.”
