Tradie Trailer King Warranty And Terms Of Sale 

A. General Scope of Coverage Unique Business Systems Pty Ltd T/A Tradie Trailer King warrants to the first registered owner, that Unique Business Systems Pty Ltd T/A Tradie Trailer King will replace, at its option, any genuine parts covered under this warranty which is found to be defective in material or workmanship during the applicable warranty term as set forth in the Coverage Chart depicted in paragraph B, subject to the exclusions listed in paragraph C. Each applicable warranty term begins on the date of dealer dispatch. This warranty covers new genuine parts (“Equipment”) purchased from Unique Business Systems Pty Ltd T/A Tradie Trailer King. Tradie Trailer King equipment comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. The benefits within our Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law.

B. What is Warranted? Subject to paragraph C, all parts of new Equipment are warranted as set forth in the Coverage Chart below. All warranty is commercial grade warranty –3 months parts and labour and a further 9 months parts only. However, in most cases we go over and above this to deliver you amazing customer service. Industry leading structural warranty covers the draw bar and chassis only from fatigue and has a guarantee for a period of 12 months from original date of purchase.

Trailer bodies are guaranteed for a period of 12 months from original date of purchase. Cosmetic blemishes are not part of warranty.

Your trailer is a commercial working environment; it will have a much higher rate of wear and tear than an environment that is only used once per week, once per month etc. As you are using your trailer daily, you will have corrosion and will need to continuously clean your trailer to keep it in good condition, including oiling the stainless steel.

No corrosion of any type is covered by warranty. We use suitable fittings, but with the exposure to chemicals and water, fittings tend to corrode over time, as with anything in a commercial environment.

Please do not neglect your equipment or trailer, we strongly recommend regular cleaning and maintenance to keep your trailer in top condition.

*Parts Only Warranty

Covers the balance of the warranty period excluding normal replaceable items, including but not limited to vehicle maintenance of our tradie trailers, tyres, silicone, rubber seals, bearings, light bulbs, screws and rivets etc.

The jockey wheel is covered for the first 14 days only. All jockey wheels are brand new, fit for purpose according to the weight of the trailer, and lift to fit a standard vehicle. If, after that time, you damage your jockey wheel, or your jockey wheel does not lift high enough to get onto your vehicle, you will be responsible for replacing your jockey wheel at your expense. Jockey wheels can be purchased from trailer part retailers such as Super Cheap Autos.

C. What is Not Warranted (Exclusions)? Pursuant to the terms of this warranty, Unique Business Systems Pty Ltd T/A Tradie Trailer King IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

Suspension, wheels nuts and bearings must be checked before every trip. Wheel bearings must be serviced by an authorized motor mechanic in 6-month intervals. Note: for extreme use the trailer will require more frequent wheel bearing service.
4. There is no warranty or compensation for any transport, accommodation, towing or recovery costs, lost business, spoiled product arising from a warranty claim; these are the responsibility of the purchaser unless otherwise stated in writing by Tradie Trailer King.
5. Overloading of trailer and causing damage to suspension is not warranted. We suggest you take careful note of the GVM of your trailer as per your VIN plate and do not overload it for safety and structural reasons.

23. Silicon in trailers including on the roof, outside, and internally is a maintenance item. Silicon will not last forever; dirt, residue, grime etc can build up and cause the silicon to be ineffective and will need replacement as part of normal maintenance of your trailer, just as you would in your bathroom at home.
24. When replacing silicon, this should be done with high quality silicon, making sure all old silicon has been removed, cleaned and dried out prior to application. Please note that roof leaks can occur due to silicon wear and tear, so please make it part of your regular 3-monthly maintenance checks to thoroughly inspect the silicon throughout your trailer.
25. Matching paint colours – Please note that any colour other than black and white is not guaranteed to be exactly the same colour as your vehicle. The reason for this is your vehicle paint name needs to be swapped over to a pantone colour, which is a powder coated colour. The colour will be close but not identical. Please bear this in mind when choosing a custom colour.
26. Rust on the body of the trailer – Our tradie trailers are made of steel and are either powder coated or painted.  Due to the harsh Australian climate, all steel trailers will rust to some extent over time.  Rust can occur due to various reasons including paint chips from highway driving, stones or gravel on the road, or simply knocking the paint on your trailer when getting your tools and equipment in and out on a daily basis.  Rust can also occur in higher friction areas such as near hinges due to constant movement. Untreated paint chips will inevitably result in rust, and often when left will produce an orange hue underneath the surrounding paint and powder coating.  Treating the chips to the paint on your trailer falls under everyday maintenance, as you would maintain any other vehicle or trailer.The best way to prevent rust and maintain your trailer properly is to simply touch up these chips with paint. Note that labour for touching up your paint chips is not covered under warranty; we will, however, cover the cost of touch up paint up to $100 if required.

    The trailer chassis is hot dipped galvanized, meaning the chassis is cut, assembled and welded prior to being dipped in gal to ensure the lowest possible risk of rust, however due to the raised profile of the weld against the steel, it is still possible for rust to occur in these spots and should be regularly checked and maintained to increase the longevity of your trailer. 

D. Terms of Warranty

1. Warranty is only valid to tradie trailers and accessories that have been well maintained, kept clean, tidy, and neat. Note: if a warranty claim is lodged, service documentation may be required to support your claim.
2. All warranty work is to be carried out by Tradie Trailer King or by a Tradie Trailer King authorized representative unless with the express written permission of Tradie Trailer King. Tradie Trailer King will repair or replace the item at their discretion.
   Note that NO unauthorized works will be reimbursed to you or paid directly to the contractor by Tradie Trailer King unless with EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION from Tradie Trailer King prior to work commencing.
   In short, you, the customer, are not authorized to engage contractors of your choosing to complete works on your trailer and on-charge Tradie Trailer King without seeking our written approval of the quote first. Such invoices will not be paid, and furthermore, taking such action will void your warranty from this date forwards.
3. Tradie Trailer King takes no responsibility for any losses of income, or losses of another nature occurring while any tradie trailer warranty issue is being warranted and/or repaired.
4. Our trailers and equipment are always being updated and refined. Some items may not match video exactly, we do our best to inform you in advance. If you have questions please just ask, we are happy to let you know. Our goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date product.
5. Some items are supplied from third party Australian suppliers. In some cases, you will need to contact third party suppliers directly as they warrant their own items and undertake repairs for you. We will advise if this is the case. They will have their own service network and service you quickly.
6. Should any warranty or after sales repair work be required and you are located within a 300km radius of our factory or service centre, you will be required to bring your trailer to the factory or service centre for works to be completed.  If you are unable to bring your trailer to the factory or service centre, a $390 + gst service fee applies.  
7. Tradesmen will not be organised outside of standard working hours to repair or replace equipment; standard working hours being Monday – Friday 8-4pm. Should you insist on a tradesperson to repair your trailer outside of working hours, the fees will be payable by you, the trailer owner. This is standard across many industries. In many cases, depending on your location, you will need to take your trailer to a local service centre to have the repair completed. This may cause you to lose income during the short period of time your trailer is being repaired, as with your regular servicing, however, we take no responsibility for compensation at this time. Repairing and maintaining your trailer is part of running a business and should be expected during the warranty period and as ongoing maintenance for your business.
8. Any replacement part that has been issued to you under the terms of your warranty is covered under warranty for the remainder of your warranty period regardless of the size of the part; whether it is a replacement unit, hose, or simply replacement nuts and bolts, the expiration of the warranty period remains unchanged from 12 months after the date of delivery of your trailer.  Therefore your warranty period does not reset to full warranty term on receipt of a part, for the entire unit OR the part itself.  Your warranty on your trailer will expire 12 months from the date of delivery, regardless of any claims made during the warranty period and replacement parts received.

E. Termination of Warranty
