Product overview
This Rice FMEMR8216 sits in the sweet spot for a lot of Australian operators: enough capacity to carry a mini excavator, a bobcat or a small tractor, but light enough to sit within the towing capacity of a well-specified dual cab rather than requiring a truck. The frame is 152 mm channel with a 127 mm channel tongue and 76 mm formed channel crossmembers, decked in pressure-treated timber, with a complete powder coat finish rather than paint. Loading The 1.52 m equipment-style fold-up ramps have spring assist and kickers, so they come up and go down without a fight and stay put once positioned. Three-inch D-rings and a Stealth-Magnum toolbox are fitted, along with a flatbed spare mount. Specification Deck 7 ft x 16 ft (2.13 m x 4.88 m) Manufacturer gross rating 9,990 lb (approx. 4,531 kg) Tare weight 2,775 lb (approx. 1,259 kg) Rated payload 7,215 lb (approx. 3,273 kg) Axles 2 x 5,200 lb cambered EZ lube, electric brakes Coupler 2-5/16 in adjustable, 14,000 lb Jack 7,000 lb drop leg Condition New, 2024, black Matching the trailer to the machine The number that decides whether this trailer suits you is the rated payload of about 3,273 kg, not the deck size. A 1.7 tonne mini excavator plus a bucket set and a fuel drum sits comfortably inside that; a 3.5 tonne machine does not. Weigh the machine with its attachments on rather than trusting a brochure figure, because attachments add up fast. Compliance Those are the US maker’s ratings converted for reference. They are not ADR ratings, an ATM plate or a roadworthiness statement in Australia; imported trailers must be approved and registered through your state or territory road authority.

Custom solutionsDelivery
Delivery is coordinated Australia-wide from the Port Macquarie. Processing takes 1–3 business days; delivery is typically 4–7 business days after processing. The standard charge is $745 per unit (incl. GST) within our standard service area and is shown at checkout once you enter your postcode. Remote, restricted-access, multi-unit and oversize deliveries are confirmed by quotation.
Tilt tray: A straight run behind the placement point (typically about 2.5× the container length plus the truck), firm level ground and clear overhead height. The most common option for 6ft–20ft units: the tray tilts and the container slides off onto the ground.
Side loader: Clear space along one side of the truck for the stabiliser legs and the two lifting cranes, and room to park parallel to the drop. Lifts the container off the chassis and sets it down beside the vehicle; the usual choice for 20ft and 40ft units.
Hiab / crane truck: Firm ground for the outriggers and a placement point within the crane's reach. Suits sites where the unit has to go over a fence or into a corner a tilt tray cannot reach; reach depends on the crane model and the unit weight.
Illustrative only. Figures are typical; we confirm the vehicle and access with you before dispatch.
Site access
Before delivery, check for a firm, level placement area, clear truck access and turning room, gate width, overhead power lines and trees, and soft ground after rain. A tilt tray typically needs a straight run behind the placement point; side loaders need clear space along one side. Our team confirms the right vehicle with you before dispatch.
Warranty
New units carry an 18 months voluntary warranty from delivery against manufacturing and structural defects. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by this warranty. Warranty policy · Returns
