Choosing Reflectors for Trailer Safety Compliance

Reflectors are essential for trailer visibility, safety, and compliance with Australian regulations. Here’s what you need to know about reflectors and why they’re a critical part of any trailer setup.

 

  • What reflectors are legally required for trailers in Australia?

    In Australia, trailers must have the following reflectors to meet legal safety standards:

     

    • Rear: Two red reflectors at the rear of the trailer.

     

    • Front: Two white reflectors at the front.

     

    • Sides: One orange reflector on each side of the trailer.

     

    These requirements are in place to improve visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring safety for all road users.

  • What types of reflectors are available, and how are they used?

    There are two primary types of reflectors available:

     

    • Stick-On Reflectors: These reflectors come in various shapes and sizes, such as amber, red, and clear, and offer easy peel-and-stick application. They’re ideal for quick installation on trailers and are designed to withstand water and dust exposure.

     

    • Bolt-On Reflectors: Bolt-on reflectors provide a secure and durable mounting option, with circular and rectangular options in amber, red, and clear colors.
