Our story

From a single tipper to a full trailer range

YLZ started as a small fabrication shop building tipper bodies for local quarry and civil operators in south-east Melbourne. A decade on, we still build the same way — heavy where it counts, clean where it shows, and finished by people who care what their name is bolted to.

Today we deliver Hardox quarry tippers, aluminium grain and sand bodies, truck-and-dog sets, semi tippers and A-double road trains across Victoria and beyond.

What we build with

Hoist systems Binotto & HPF Italian Binotto cylinders and Australian-built HPF hoists — matched to body length and tip cycle.

Braking EBS multi-volt ADR-approved electronic braking systems — with disc upgrade options on most trailer builds.

Compliance ADR + PBS L1/L2A Engineered to Australian Design Rules and Performance-Based Standards for high-productivity combinations.
