Ah, the overhang on a trailer—the bit that sticks out beyond the wheels and chassis, much like an overambitious toupee on a windy day. It's crucial because excessive overhang can affect your trailer's stability and legal compliance on Australian roads. Typically, the maximum rear overhang allowed is about 1.2 metres from the center of the rear axle group, but always check the specific regulations as they vary by state.
Excessive overhang can cause issues like increased sway, difficulty in maneuvering, and added stress on the trailer structure. For more precise measurements and legal limits, consult official transport authority guidelines or browse listings on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for compliant trailers.
