Margaret River Trailer Hire
Overview
Margaret River Trailer Hire is a Western Australian owned transport and bulk materials business established in 2026, operating across the South West. The business provides tipper trailer hire, bulk materials cartage and subcontract haulage to civil contractors, landscapers, owner-builders and trade customers. MRTH has not yet delivered work to the defence sector. The business is registering with the directory to make its transport and materials-handling capability visible to defence primes and subcontractors as the Henderson Defence Precinct and associated civil works programs are established. The business is owner-operated by Neil Adams, whose background spans open-cut mining operations, heavy haulage, aviation ramp operations management and health and safety consulting. He holds an MC (multi-combination) licence and a Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety, and currently works as a road train operator on a major WA iron ore project. That background means MRTH operates to resources-sector standards for safety, compliance and site discipline, which transfer directly to defence infrastructure environments.
Capabilities
Transport and cartage: bulk materials delivery (sand, gravel, road base, aggregate, topsoil, fill, mulch) and general tipper cartage. Hydraulic tipper trailers to 2.5 t, plus access to a subcontract carrier network running 6-wheeler tippers and semi-tippers for larger volumes. Equipment hire: hydraulic tipper trailers (8×5, 10×5, 10×6) for site clean-up, spoil removal and materials movement. Supply chain coordination: MRTH sources direct from South West sand, gravel and limestone pits and landscape suppliers, and coordinates carriers to deliver a fixed-price outcome to the client rather than an hourly rate. Operator capability: MC licence holder with road train experience on a Tier-1 resources project, working to a formal HSE management system, JHA/take-5 processes and fatigue management standards. Recent examples are in the civil and landscape supply sector rather than defence — including multi-load bulk sand and fill deliveries in the Margaret River region. MRTH is seeking its first defence-adjacent civil works engagement.
Discriminators
• 100% Western Australian owned and operated, based in the South West • Owner holds an MC (multi-combination) licence and Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety • Owner-operator background in open-cut mining, heavy haulage and HSE consulting — resources-sector safety and compliance culture applied to a small business • Fixed-price delivered quoting rather than hourly cartage rates, giving clients cost certainty • Direct relationships with South West sand, gravel and limestone pits, allowing sourcing from the nearest pit to site to reduce cartage cost and emissions • Flexible subcontract carrier network scaling from single trailer loads to semi-tipper volumes • Small, responsive operation — direct contact with the owner, no layers between client and decision-maker • Currently not GST registered; registration underway to support commercial and government contracting
