Rollers and Boat Trailer Parts
Rollers, bunks, bow stops, brackets and marine fittings for trailers that spend their life going in and out of the Broadwater.
Martin's Trailer Parts supplies boat, box and camper trailer components to the Gold Coast, freighted from our Western Australian factory. Rollers, bearings, axles, brakes and sealed LED lights, priced with GST included.
Go To Our Online ShopThe Gold Coast is hard on trailers. Between the Broadwater, the Seaway, Jacobs Well and the Tweed, a boat trailer here gets dunked in salt water more times in a season than most trailers manage in a decade. Add year-round humidity and the result is predictable: bearings that let go on the highway, lights that die after one launch, and rollers that perish long before the boat does.
Martin's Trailer Parts has been manufacturing and supplying trailer components since the 1960s, and we freight to the Gold Coast from our Perth facilities. Every part number, description and GST-inclusive price is listed in our online shop, so you can find the exact component you need rather than settling for whatever the nearest store has left on the shelf.
Where we actually are. Martin's does not have a Gold Coast store. We are a Western Australian manufacturer that delivers to the Coast, and everything on this page is available to you by freight. If you also need parts further north, we cover Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast as well, or you can browse the full catalogue on our trailer parts online page.
Salt water does not damage a trailer evenly. It attacks a handful of components first, and those are the ones worth understanding before you order.
Hot hubs dropped into cold salt water draw moisture past the seal as they contract. Do that fortnightly for a season and the grease turns to grey paste. Bearings are the cheapest part on a boat trailer and the most expensive one to ignore, because a collapsed bearing takes the stub axle with it and usually happens at highway speed on the M1.
Submerged lamps and corroded connections are the standard reason a Gold Coast trailer fails inspection. Sealed LED units and properly terminated wiring last dramatically longer than the budget lamps fitted to most imported trailers.
Rollers and bunks carry the hull, so when they go hard, crack or seize, the damage shows up on the boat rather than the trailer. Worth replacing on condition, not on age.
Painted steel components have a short life on a trailer that is regularly immersed. We supply galvanised and marine-grade fittings across the range, and if you tell us the trailer is launched in salt water we will steer you to the right specification rather than the cheapest one.
If you have noticed any of the following, this is where to start looking.
| What you notice | Usual cause | What to look at |
|---|---|---|
| A hot hub, or a rumble that rises with speed | Salt water past the seal, grease broken down | Hub and bearing kits, seals |
| Play in the wheel when you rock it by hand | Worn or collapsing bearings | Hub and bearing kits, stub axles |
| Lights dead or flickering after a launch | Water in the lamp body or corroded terminals | Sealed LED lights, harnesses, plugs and sockets |
| Hull scuffing, or the boat sitting off centre | Perished, cracked or seized rollers | Rollers, bunks, brackets and bow stops |
| Weak or grabbing brakes | Corroded drum internals, seized components | Brake assemblies, brake spares, cables |
| Coupling stiff, or hard to latch onto the ball | Salt and grit in the mechanism | Couplings, hitches and coupling spares |
| Jockey wheel seized or wobbling | Corrosion in the shaft and clamp | Jockey wheels, brackets and stands |
| Frayed winch strap or slipping winch | UV, salt and general wear | Winches, straps and cables |
| Rust streaking down the axle or springs | Coating breached, salt sitting on bare steel | Axles and stubs, leaf springs and fittings |
Every category below is stocked, numbered and priced in our online shop.
Rollers, bunks, bow stops, brackets and marine fittings for trailers that spend their life going in and out of the Broadwater.
Hubs, bearing kits and seals, the fastest moving line on any coastal trailer and the one worth carrying a spare of.

Beam axles and stub axles across the load ratings, for boat trailers, box trailers and campers alike.
Drum, disc, mechanical and electric brake assemblies, plus the individual spares that corrode first on a coastal trailer.
Ball couplings, override couplings, off-road hitches and the coupling spares that keep an ageing setup safe and compliant.
Hand and electric winches, straps, cables and mounting hardware for boat trailers and car carriers.
Jockey wheels, swing-up brackets and stands sized for everything from jet ski trailers to heavy tandem boat trailers.
Leaf springs, hangers, shackles and U-bolts, plus independent suspension for campers and off-road builds heading into the hinterland.

No. Martin's Trailer Parts is a Western Australian manufacturer with three stores in Perth, and we supply the Gold Coast by delivery rather than through a local shop front. Gold Coast orders are placed through our online shop, by phone or by email, and freighted to your address. We would rather say that plainly than have you drive to a store that is not there.
Hub and bearing kits, seals, rollers and trailer lights are the parts that move most on the Gold Coast, because all four are directly exposed to salt water every time a boat is launched and retrieved. Winch straps, coupling spares and jockey wheels follow closely behind.
Freight time and cost depend on the size and weight of the order and on your delivery suburb. Small items such as bearing kits, seals, lights and rollers travel as standard parcels, while axles and springs go as bulky freight. Send your parts list and postcode to sales@trailerparts.net.au or call (08) 9279-5777 and we will confirm the current transit time and freight cost before you order.
There is no single interval, because it depends on how often the trailer is immersed and how quickly it is rinsed afterwards. Trailers launched in salt water regularly are usually inspected and repacked at least once a year, and many owners keep a spare bearing kit in the tow vehicle. Heat, a rumbling noise or play in the wheel means the bearings need attention before the next trip, not after it.
Our rollers and boat trailer components are made for trailers that are launched regularly, and we supply galvanised and marine-grade fittings across the range. If you are ordering for a trailer that lives on the Broadwater rather than one that sees fresh water twice a year, tell us when you order and we will point you to the right specification.
Yes. The same categories cover light trailers, including smaller axles and stubs, hub and bearing kits, rollers, jockey wheels, winches and lights. If you are unsure which size suits a jet ski or tinnie trailer, send us the axle measurement and a photo and we will match it.
Yes to both. Every price in our online shop includes 10% Australian GST, with freight quoted separately. We deliver across the whole Gold Coast including Tweed Heads and the northern New South Wales border towns.
Many of our components are manufactured by Martin's in Perth, and parts listed in our online shop meet Australian Design Rules where those rules apply. Part descriptions note country of origin where relevant, which matters if you are rebuilding a trailer that needs to pass inspection.
