BYFORD

Byford Equipment, established in 1975, is an Australian leader in designing and manufacturing tankers for industries such as food, wine, and chemicals. Their product range includes tankers made from stainless steel, duplex metals, and aluminium, configured as semi-trailers, B-doubles, B-triples, and road trains. Specialised tankers are available for transporting milk, chemicals, bitumen, water, and wine, each designed with industry-specific features. Byford also offers services like hose and spare parts supply, custom hose reel fabrication, and comprehensive repair and maintenance to minimise client downtime. Their commitment to innovation, quality, and productivity has made them a trusted name in the Australian transport sector.
 
At All Fleet Service & Repairs, we specialise in servicing all years, makes, and models of Byford trailers, using only high-quality parts. Our workshop is also fully equipped to carry out welding / fabrication repairs. Regular servicing & maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your vehicle, detect potential issues early, and prevent costly downtime for your business and customers. A consistent maintenance program also ensures your trailers remain safe and reliable on the road, giving you, as a business owner or fleet manager, peace of mind. After each service, we provide clear communication about any issues identified and, upon request, offer detailed repair estimates. Our goal is to keep your vehicles running smoothly, so your business stays on track.
 
We currently work on all types of Byford tankers.
