Registration certification of new heavy trailers in NSW
Transport worked with heavy vehicle industry representatives to develop a streamlined registration process for customers, with the aim to ensure their new heavy trailers can be used on the road much quicker.
The process allows manufacturers and distributors, including those based interstate, to certify their product rather than obtaining a NSW heavy vehicle inspection report.
For this purpose, the trailer must:
- have an Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) over 4.5 tonnes; and
- be fitted with an Identification Plate (Compliance Plate) in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 (Commonwealth).
The New Heavy Vehicle Certification form must be submitted to Service NSW when you attend to establish registration. The form:
- allows for multiple like trailers; and
- waives the need to obtain a NSW heavy vehicle inspection report or present a weighbridge ticket for each unit.
