Engineered Tiny Home Chassis: The Foundation of Your Dream
Build with confidence on a custom, road-legal tiny house trailer, fabricated with precision in Melbourne.
Every successful tiny home begins not with the walls, but with an unshakable foundation. At Star Food Vans, we leverage our extensive experience in manufacturing heavy-duty, compliant vehicle platforms to create superior tiny home chassis. We understand that the chassis is the single most critical element for ensuring the safety, legality, and longevity of your tiny house on wheels.
Whether you are a passionate DIY builder or a professional contractor, our custom-fabricated trailers provide the expert-engineered base you need to bring your vision to life.
Why a Purpose-Built Chassis is Non-Negotiable
Using a standard car trailer or an uncertified base for a tiny home is a critical mistake. A purpose-built chassis from Star Food Vans guarantees:
Legal Compliance: Our trailers are fully compliant with Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and VSB1 standards, supplied with a VIN for straightforward registration.
Structural Integrity: Engineered to handle the specific weight distribution and static load of a tiny home, preventing dangerous frame flex and ensuring stability.
Safety on the Road: Features superior braking, suspension, and coupling systems designed for a high centre of gravity and heavy load.
Insurability: Most insurers will not cover a tiny home built on a non-compliant or unsuitable trailer. Our chassis provides the certification you need.
The Star Engineering Standard: Features of Our Chassis
We build every tiny home chassis to order, ensuring it perfectly matches the specifications of your unique design.
- Fully Engineered & ADR Compliant Every chassis comes with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and all necessary paperwork for registration in any Australian state.
- Customisable to Your Design We fabricate to your exact required length, width, and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), with options for tandem or tri-axle configurations up to 4.5 tonnes.
- Heavy-Duty Australian Construction Built using high-grade Australian steel for maximum strength. We also offer a hot-dip galvanizing option for the ultimate in corrosion and rust protection.
- Advanced Design Features Included Our standard chassis includes four-corner heavy-duty stability jacks, an electric braking system with a breakaway unit, and recessed decking options to maximise internal headroom.
Our Chassis is the Perfect Starting Point For:
