The Drake Group The Drake Group encompass Drake Trailers, O'Phee Trailers Drake Collectibles and Dalzell and Bagley Engineering.

The steady expansion of the Drake Trailers portfolio over the last half-decade has prompted the company to relaunch as The Drake Group this year, bringing a number of brands under the one banner. Over the years, its search for improvements has found the company both looking internally and externally, bringing in knowledge from a number of experts in specialist markets to bolster its own. Now, the company has brought the Drake Trailers, O’Phee Trailers, Drake Collectables, BoXLoader, Swinglift, Cometto and Sunseeker East Coast Australia brands under the one banner, launching as The Drake Group in 2017.

🚨 STOP SCROLLING. THIS IS NOT A NEW TRAILER. 🚨

At first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking this Drake 4x4 Full Widener Rear Steer has just rolled out of the factory. But here's the kicker...

This trailer was originally built in 2015. 👀

Working alongside Jason and the team at Ares Group , our Service & Repairs division has transformed this well-worked unit into a trailer ready for its next chapter. 🔧✨

From repairs and refurbishment work through to a complete refresh, this project is a great example of how the right rebuild can extend the life of your assets, maximise uptime and deliver real value back to your business.

🎥 Join Troy Johnston, Group After Sales Manager, as he walks you through the transformation and explains what's involved in bringing a hardworking trailer back to life.

A huge thank you to Ares Group for trusting the team with another refurbishment project. We're proud to help keep quality equipment working for years to come. 🤝🚛

Because sometimes the smartest investment isn't buying new... It's rebuilding what you've already got. 💪

🔥 Now That's Something to Take PRYDE In! 🔥

Built to suit the way Pryde Haulage operates, their new O'Phee 3x4 Flat Top features a number of custom touches and practical additions tailored to their requirements. From container capability and weighing systems through to clever storage and load restraint solutions, every detail has been carefully thought through. 🙌

We reckon the name couldn't be more fitting. There's plenty to be proud of here. 👌

A massive thank you to Blair and the Pryde Haulage team for choosing O'Phee. We can't wait to see this one out and about 💪

Three loads. One proven setup. 👌

From a Jaw Crusher and a Metso Cone Crusher on the Tanami Road Project in the NT, to a CAT 6015 heading south to a major project in NSW, Exact Contracting 's Drake 8x8 Steerable and 2x8 Dolly combination keeps getting the call-up for the big jobs.

When the roads are rough, the deadlines are tight, and the freight doesn't get any lighter, you need gear built to handle the real world. 💪

Awesome work by the Exact Contracting team and thanks for the 📸.

🔴 Big Challenges Need Bigger Solutions. 🔴

That's exactly what Mammoet specialises in, and exactly what this new Drake was built for.

Their new Drake 4x8 Swingwide Extendable and 2x8 Dolly has widening capability from 2.7m to 4.6m, an extra 5.4m of extension, hydraulic gooseneck, and ramp props - these aren't just features.. they're solutions.

And wrapped in Mammoet's iconic red? She's an absolute beast. 🔥

Congratulations to the Mammoet team and thanks for choosing Drake! 🙌

🔥 Good businesses buy trailers. Great businesses invest in growth.

A big congratulations to Newnham Scaffolding on the delivery of not one, but two new O'Phee 3x4 Flattops, including one paired up with their awesome TradeMutt truck that's guaranteed to start a few conversations wherever it goes.

Not content with standing still, the Newnham team are always looking for the next improvement, the next opportunity and the next one-percenter. It's a mindset that's helped make them one of the industry's standout businesses, and it's why we've enjoyed seeing them return to O'Phee time and time again. 🙌

A big thank you to Jed and the team for the continued support. We're proud to be part of the journey. 🚛👏

🎪 Bananival Apprentice Carnival 2026 🏆

The annual battle is complete, and what a day it was!

Every year, our apprentices take on the supervisors in a series of challenges to see who can claim the ultimate bragging rights and the coveted Winners' Cup. This year's Bananival did not disappoint, with plenty of laughs, teamwork, creativity, and healthy competition on display.

From designing captain costumes out of random mystery items and strutting the catwalk, to slingshot ball games, strapped rubber chickens to feet challenges, banana-and-chopstick obstacle races, banana-hole competitions, and an epic tug-of-war finale, the day was packed with fun from start to finish.

While the competition was fierce, the real win was seeing our apprentices and supervisors come together, build connections, and create some fantastic memories along the way.

A huge thank you to Life for helping us bring the event to life. The energy, organisation, and atmosphere they created made the day a massive success and kept everyone engaged from beginning to end.

We're incredibly proud of the culture we've built around our apprenticeship program, and events like this remind us how important it is to invest in our people, celebrate teamwork, and have a bit of fun while doing it.

Until next year... the question remains: will the apprentices reclaim their title, or will the supervisors continue their winning streak? 👀🏆
