The pinnacle of reliability

For more than 65 years, BPW Transpec has been providing the transport industry with high quality, durable and reliable components. And, for the last 25 years, it has been working with Membrey’s Transport & Crane Hire to offer transport the best trailer suspension and axles possible.

Membrey’s offer trailers to clients to suit a broad range of applications, while providing a wide selection of heavy haulage solutions that is hard to come across in the industry. In addition to its large range of heavy haulage resources, Membrey’s also offers a plethora of services including crane hire, crane trucks, auto and bus towing, pilot vehicles, traffic management and transport solutions.

Managing Director, Craig Membrey, has been at the forefront of the company since taking over from his father in 1989. Still family owned and operated and abiding by its motto of ‘make it happen’, the business has grown in leaps and bounds and now operates a fleet of over 100 highly specialised trailers.
During his time with the company, Craig has selected BPW suspension and axles time and time again for trailer builds due to their high quality and never-ending reliability.

“When I spec up a new trailer, BPW is what I ask for right from the start, every time,” he says. “They’ve got the latest technology and they’re the best of the best – there’s no one better than BPW in the market.”

Membrey’s recently accepted delivery of a Drake 8×8 Steerable Extendable trailer supported by BPW axles, along with Drake hydraulic suspension, double acting suspension RAMS, return to ride height, radio remote-control steering and stainless steel as far as the eye can see.

Craig says the trailer has gone straight to work in Queensland, and with BPW’s axles, he’s confident that it will excel in every operation commenced.
“It’s gone straight to work doing windfarm work for the next two years out of Brisbane to a windfarm in Queensland,” he says. “I’ve never had a problem with them, they’re my favourite axles.”

While BPW’s prices may sit on the high end of the market, Craig says the product is well worth it in the long run.

“My preference is BPW’s axles,” he says. “They aren’t the cheapest, but in the long run it’s definitely worth having them. BPW keeps up with all the latest technology and innovations as well, and because of their commitment to quality you’re guaranteed to excel with the product.”

BPW Transpec is known for offering class-leading trailer suspension systems that provide cost effective, safe and reliable solutions whether you need air or spring suspensions, or in Membrey’s case, a swivel axle bogie.

“I’ve had no problems at all,” Craig says. “BPW backs its product, and the team has always been very accommodating to my demands. I’m a very fussy person as a lot of people know. What I want is what I get, and BPW have definitely delivered for each application.”
