About TRT Australia

Overcoming challenges is precisely how this business got started in 1967. Clever people solving complex engineering problems with ingenuity, and relentless hard work.

It's this competitive ethos of solving the unsolvable, finding a way, and just getting on with it, that helps us make things possible for our customers.

Making things possible means choosing the better problem to solve, out thinking it, and then by sweating every single detail until it's done, made and, delivered.

TRT Australia is part of Tidd Ross Todd Ltd (TRT) is a privately-owned, family business, specialising in the design, manufacture, sales, and delivery of products and services within Australia and New Zealand's road transport and construction industries.

We have been operating in Australia for more than 20 years, building a local business with a quality that is to be expected from an Australian manufacturer. With the purchase of specialist crane company B and N Cranes in 2016 we have seen a rapid expansion in the business.

Our key areas of focus include crane sales, crane manufacturing, design and engineering, crane service and repair including major inspections and rebuilds, crane parts, trailer manufacturing, and heavy transport and equipment design and manufacture.

What sets us apart is our motivation to make things possible!
