WORK WITH THE DRAWBAR EXPERTS.

We make the ADR62/02 drawbar testing and compliance process quick and simple.

Our certification is available for businesses Australia-wide, and allows you to get a VIN number via ROVER and sell your trailer products in Australia.

Start your trailer drawbar certification with us today.

We provide analysis testing for your trailer, a critical step in the ROVER trailer compliance process. Whether you’re manufacturing or importing caravans, horse floats, truck dollies, car trailers or any other towed vehicle, we can complete the compliance certification to keep your business moving.

We use advanced FEA (finite element analysis) to test your trailer design virtually, without you needing to manufacture or bring a trailer to us for physical testing. This allows us to test your design faster, at a lower cost, and gives you the flexibility to update your design so it successfully achieves compliance. As an approved drawbar trailer certification and testing company, we're here to be your partners in engineering excellence.

Steps to get certified

Gather information + Designs

We work with you to get as much information about your designs as possible to certify your drawbar. This helps us understand the scope of work, and allows us to identify opportunities for efficiency. For example, we can test multiple trailer designs at a time to save you time and money.

Review + Fee Proposal

Quantech will determine the amount of modelling and analysis required based on the information collected. A fee proposal will be sent for review and acceptance before any work is started. Up to this point, working with us is free.

Modelling & initial analysis

Modelling and initial analysis is performed. Preliminary results are shared with you. We'll let you know if the trailer will pass the compliance test, or if design changes are required.  Design changes are something we can help with, too!

Final reports & certification

Any design changes are made if required. We send you updated technical drawings so you have them on file.  Final analysis reports and certification letters are produced so you can sell your trailer/s in Australia. From start to finish, this process takes only a couple of weeks.

FAQs

How do you get your trailer certified?
  • If you manufacture or import a towed vehicle being sold in Australia, you need to comply with Australian Design Rule ADR62/02 – mechanical connections between vehicles.
  • ROVER is the administration system for the Road Vehicle Standards (RVS) legislation. They issue you a VIN once you can show that your design meets all the ADR and VSB rules.
  • This is a multi-step process. Quantech Design’s job in the process is to help you with the analysis and engineering of your drawbar.
  • Once you’ve completed all the required steps, you submit your documentation via ROVER.  
How can Quantech help you get certified?
  • Quantech use FEA simulation to test your trailer design to ensure its compliance with the design rules. We are a registered testing facility with ROVER, using approved ADR processes.
  • FEA is a cost effective and quick certification option, as it allows us to simulate stress tests on your design so you don’t need to test a physical one.
  • This also allows us to identify improvements or changes on the model design, before you build it, allowing you to make adjustments as required before you spend time and money building your design.
  • As a team of experienced and talented mechanical engineers, we can also provide further design edits and recommendations to optimise your design, identify opportunities for cost savings, and help modify your design to suit a range of applications.
What happens if your trailer fails/doesn’t pass?
  • The benefit of our FEA approach means we can provide recommendations for design changes in the CAD model, before you’ve built anything. Usually, minor changes are included in our costs if required.
  • We can provide these recommendations to you for you to implement, or you can engage the Quantech team to do the remodelling for you.
  • We then complete any updates and provide the certification on the finished design
How else can Quantech help me?
  • We can help with adapting drawbar designs across multiple products, reducing rework and duplication
  • We can assist with engineering design and modelling to help expand and improve your product offering – we don’t just do drawbars!
  • We can help you turn initial concepts or product ideas into reality – our experienced team of engineers have expertise covering industries like agriculture, transport, materials handling, architecture, automotive, construction and more.
