Boost Efficiency and Payload This Harvest with NHVR-Compliant, PBS-Approved Trailers Built for Grain & Fertiliser Haulage
When it comes to grain and fertiliser haulage, every load counts. As the pressure of harvest season builds, so does the need for maximum efficiency, safety, and route access. That’s where Performance-Based Standards (PBS) come in, offering a smarter, safer, and more productive way to operate heavy vehicles across Australia.
At Sloanebuilt Trailers, we design, and manufacture PBS-approved trailers tailored for Australia’s agricultural industry. Our trailers are built to maximise payload, improve safety, and give your business access to more freight routes all while maintaining the highest manufacturing standards.
Why Choose PBS for Grain & Fertiliser Haulage?
PBS (Performance-Based Standards) is a national framework allowing heavy vehicles to operate beyond traditional limits, provided they meet strict safety, efficiency, and infrastructure compliance.
For businesses in the grain and fertiliser sector, PBS unlocks major benefits during the most demanding time of year:
- Increase payloads and haul more per trip
- Reduce the number of trips and fuel consumption
- Improve trailer stability and road safety
- Access more routes under PBS-approved networks
- Lower operating costs and improve delivery times
For operators moving large volumes during peak season, PBS trailers are a game-changer, helping you do more with less while staying compliant.
Understanding NHVR Standards
PBS is managed and regulated by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), which ensures every approved vehicle combination meets strict safety, productivity, and infrastructure standards. Whether you're applying for PBS approval or looking to understand network access, the NHVR plays a key role in keeping operators compliant and efficient.
