Why only FTE Trailers?

Established in 1975, FTE (Fibreglass Transport Equipment) has grown and sealed the reputation as the most respected builders of high quality refrigerated trailers in Australia.

FTE’s sole focus is on the design and manufacture of the highest possible quality refrigerated trailers, for the transportation of all temperature controlled products. Their fully moulded fibreglass products are unique within the industry and have stood the test of time in Australia’s demanding conditions. This fact is reflected in their company’s mission statement that reads – “never sacrifice on quality”.

The fully moulded fibreglass refrigerated bodies on all FTE Trailers prevents temperature leakage from the trailers by not requiring the use of metal edge seals as seen on all other brands of refrigerated trailers. These metal edge seals also traditionally become loose and worn over time that lead to further temperature leakage and the eventual requirement for ongoing and expensive maintenance and repair programs. 

The fully moulded fibreglass body also significantly increases the structural strength of the trailers. This fact significantly increases the service longevity of all FTE trailers, reducing their overall operational costs and producing savings that South West Express can again pass onto its customers.
