* Queensland - In for the long haul
-- For livestock trailer manufacturer Mark Johnston the challenge is two-fold: The first is building robust equipment that moves livestock as efficiently as possible; the second is ensuring the livestock and the driver arrive at their destination in the best possible condition... Those objectives are complicated by the four different loading systems adopted by the various states and territories across Australia... In Queensland volume loading and often rough roads mean the preference is for hard-wearing steel... In NSW, however, trailers must comply with axle mass. The result is that many of the trailers constructed for use primarily on NSW roads are manufactured with airbag suspension and lighter aluminium cladding... In Western Australia's pastoral zone, Haulmark is also delivering seven-deck AAB combination trailers to maximise the efficiency of the long-haul operations... Mr Johnston said Haulmark designs focused on building trailers that were quicker and simpler to load and unload and that avoided all forms of stress on both livestock and drivers... 200 people are employed by the company, which has its headquarters at Rocklea in Brisbane...
