Tilt Slides

The foundation of CTE's reputation. With more than 1,000 tilt slides and trailers delivered across Australia, our tilt slides are built around the operator's application, with 6-tonne, 10-tonne, and 15-tonne configurations.

Trailers

Beyond tilt slides, CTE designs and builds heavy transport trailers, configured around the load, the route and the task. These include dropdecks, supertilts, wideners, floats, low loaders, extendables, and tag and dog trailers.

Custom Truck Bodies

Some jobs can't be solved with a standard product. Our in-house engineering team designs and builds bespoke truck bodies around the task, from specialised application bodies to rigid crane trucks and custom combinations.

  • Safety & Innovation

ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY,
BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE.

Safety is not a policy that sits alongside the work. It is built into how we work and what we build. CTEzero puts zero harm at the centre of our culture and products, from the workshop floor to equipment operating in the field.

Innovation is at the core of what we do. Our in-house team uses 3D modelling, established partnerships and production floor insight to develop, refine and validate solutions before a single cut is made.

What our customers have to say

When you're running a fleet in tough country, one breakdown doesn't just cost you a repair; it costs you a job, a customer, sometimes a relationship. We run CTE because we can't afford equipment that fails. Simple as that. Every time we've expanded or renewed, we've come back.

We run over 40 CTE units across our fleet, and we keep coming back for one reason: they don’t let us down. When you’re running an operation like ours, knowing the equipment won’t break down, and that there’s someone on the end of the phone when you need a part or an answer, is everything. CTE builds gear that works, and they work with us to build it right.
