Parts for trailers and semi-trailers in South Africa

Updated 4 November 2026

Trailer and semi-trailer parts in South Africa are priced one part at a time, so there is no single price range for the category. The prices we found in listings are for complete new trailers, not parts: a low flatbed starts near R 49,000 and a three-axle flatbed is about R 426,000. To get a price for your part, describe it in a BlaBlaPrice request with the part number and the trailer model.

What the part price depends on

• The part itself and the trailer type, such as a light trailer or a semi-trailer
• The trailer model and year, and the part number
• Whether the part is original or compatible, and whether it is new or used
• The delivery city and your budget

Legal requirements to check

A semi-trailer must have a fifth-wheel kingpin that is securely fitted. Trailers up to 3,500 kg need coupling devices that meet the relevant requirements, and two red triangles and red reflective tape are required on trailers of that weight. Compulsory specifications apply to light trailers in categories 01 and 02, so ask the seller to confirm that the part suits your trailer's category before you fit it.

Matching the part to the trailer

A part made for one trailer model will not fit another even if the brand is the same, so the model and year count more than the brand. Compare the specifications, such as axle load and drawbar height, with the trailer's data before you order. Used parts can cost less, but ask for their condition and whether they have been tested.

Season and planning a repair

November is late spring, and the hot summer months run from December to February. A trailer that is off the road for a repair should get its parts ordered now, so the repair is finished before the summer months begin.

Delivery and how parts are bought here

Ask whether delivery to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha is included, how long it takes and who pays for a return if the part is wrong. Give the part's dimensions in millimetres and its weight in kilograms, and say whether the trailer uses a kingpin or a drawbar.
