Hey Tony

What are you planning on towing it with??

SA Law dictates that the combined mass of trailer and load not exceed 75% of the towing vehicle. So this would mean that at approximately 2 tonne for a trailer and 4 tonne for the carrier, the towing vehicle must be at least 8 tonne ( that's like a laiden Aaco ).

And that any trailer with a curb mass greater than 2 tonnes have trailer brakes ( of greater capabitily than over-run braking ) and break-away locking brakes.

I don't know if the flaws ( oops Laws ) are the same in NSW, but that pretty much dictates what you can tow a carrier with.

As far as "doing a Brocky" ( fishtailing ) down the road, most electric and air braking systems have trailer brake controls so that you can slightly apply the brakes to prevent this from happening on braking.
