AGM Heavy Haul Expands Capability with New MTE 5×8 Trailer and MTE 2×8 Dolly

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to our heavy haulage fleet: AGM Heavy Haul has acquired an MTE 5×8 Linkwing trailer and an MTE 2×8 widening dolly. These aren’t just new pieces of gear - they represent a strategic leap in capability, flexibility, and safety.

Built for the Australian Demanding Conditions

MTE (Modern Transport Engineers) trailers are purpose-built for tough environments. The iconic MTE Linkwing is Australasia’s most popular heavy transport trailer, backed by over 50 years of design evolution to withstand highway speeds, tight urban conditions, harsh forestry terrain, and high-payload mine site operations.

The 5×8 configuration delivers high gross vehicle mass capacity and features like hydraulic widening, hydraulic suspension, and oscillating skid plates—all standard. These systems ensure AGM can adjust deck width, manage ride height, and maintain access across the toughest jobs.

Pairing Strength with Versatility: The 2×8 Widening Dolly

Complementing the trailer is the MTE 2×8 widening dolly, designed for rugged use across diverse environments. It includes features such as hydraulic widening, robust suspension, manual landing legs, and steel wheel construction.

This combination gives AGM flexibility to configure multi-combination vehicles with ease and precision - delivering oversized loads safely and without compromise.

What This Means for Our Customers

• Higher Capacity, Greater Reach: The 5×8 trailer supports heavier payloads; the dolly provides modular extension when needed.
• Custom Fit for Every Job: Hydraulic widening and suspension mean we can tailor the load geometry on the fly.
• Consistent Safety Standards: Built-in systems like LED lighting, two-pack paint, and durable skid plate construction ensure reliability.
• Reduced Downtime: Maintenance-friendly design - like quick change cylinders and retracting axles, means less hassle, more uptime.

The Strategic Value for AGM

We don’t just haul heavy gear - we anticipate and meet client needs. Investing in these MTE units underscores our commitment to being proactive, adaptable, and reliable. The additional flexibility these assets offer means we’re better placed to deliver tailored logistics solutions for OEMs across mining, construction, infrastructure, and beyond.

Final Word

The addition of the MTE 5×8 Linkwing trailer and 2×8 dolly deepens AGM Heavy Haul’s ability to deliver oversized, high-value freight with precision and safety. We’re proud of where we’re headed and even more proud of the team and equipment enabling the journey.
