Collection: Melbourne Made Trestles

Yakka Gear's Melbourne Made Aluminium Trestles offer the ultimate elevated work platform solution for builders, painters, home renovators, construction workers, tradies, DIYers, and maintenance professionals. Locally manufactured in Melbourne using high-grade welded aluminium and designed to Australian Standards, our adjustable trestles are engineered for strength, safety, and sustainability.

Available in a full size range from 1.8m to 4.8m, these lightweight aluminium trestles feature adjustable legs (up to 260mm) for rock-solid stability on uneven ground, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor worksites. Each trestle supports up to 225kg load rating, up to 2x stronger than standard step ladders, while weighing only 31kg—approx. 16% lighter than average painter's trestles on the market.

Designed for quick setup and seamless integration with aluminium planks, these trestles can support dual planks clamped together to create custom-length continuous platforms. Whether you’re setting up scaffolding platforms, access ramps, or temporary staging, Yakka Gear trestles are built for versatility and safety.

Key features include grooved anti-slip rungs, thick aluminium plated feet, max-spread stoppers, and alternating rungs that open to the ideal working position. These trestles are ideal for long-run setups, multi-bay platforms, and mobile elevated access where speed and safety are critical.

Our sustainable production process uses locally sourced materials to reduce transport, waste, and energy usage—so you can work smarter while supporting Australian manufacturing.

Available for pickup in Melbourne or delivery to surrounding areas, these adjustable aluminium trestles are perfect for your next job, whether large-scale construction or home maintenance.
