The Strength of Australian Steel: Why We Use Locally Sourced Materials
At Midland Pty Ltd, our commitment to quality and durability is evident in our choice of materials. We proudly use Australian steel in the manufacturing of our trailers, and here’s why:
Benefits of Using Australian Steel
Superior Quality and Durability
Australian steel is renowned for its exceptional quality and durability. It is manufactured to meet stringent Australian standards, ensuring that our trailers are robust and reliable. This high-quality steel provides enhanced resistance to wear and tear, making our trailers capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions and heavy-duty usage. For more about the strength and applications of Australian steel, you can explore the resources at BlueScope Distribution.
Supporting Local Industries
By sourcing steel locally, we support Australian industries and contribute to the national economy. This not only strengthens the local supply chain but also ensures that we can maintain a consistent and reliable source of materials for our manufacturing processes. Our steel comes from trusted suppliers like InfraBuild Metal Recycling, who play a vital role in supporting sustainable manufacturing practices across Australia.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Using locally sourced materials reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation. This aligns with our commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices and helps in minimizing the environmental impact of our operations. Recycling and reusing steel are key components of this commitment, and you can learn more about these efforts at InfraBuild Metal Recycling.
Ensured Availability and Supply Chain Efficiency
Local sourcing helps in mitigating supply chain disruptions. It ensures that we have a steady and timely supply of steel, which is crucial for maintaining our production schedules and meeting customer demands without delays. Working with reliable suppliers like BlueScope Distribution ensures that we have access to high-performance steels, including BISALLOY® products, which are known for their high strength and toughness.

Why Australian Steel Over Imported Steel
Quality Assurance
Imported steel, especially from countries like China, often does not match the quality and standards of Australian steel. Reports have shown that Chinese steel can contain impurities and elements like boron, which can cause welds to crack and compromise the structural integrity of the trailers. Australian steel, on the other hand, adheres to strict standards (AS 4100, AS/NZS 4600, and others), ensuring consistent quality and safety.

Longevity and Structural Integrity
One of the most critical factors in trailer manufacturing is the longevity and structural integrity of the build. Australian steel, known for its purity and consistent composition, provides superior strength and durability. Trailers made from Australian steel are less likely to experience structural failures over time, offering a longer lifespan and greater reliability. In contrast, the variability in the quality of imported steel can lead to premature wear, increased maintenance costs, and potential safety hazards.
Reliability
Australian steel provides predictable performance, which is critical for the safety and longevity of our trailers. The variability in the quality of imported steel can lead to unexpected failures and higher maintenance costs over time.
Conclusion
Choosing Midland trailers means choosing quality, reliability, and sustainability. Our use of Australian steel is a testament to our commitment to excellence. We invite you to experience the difference that locally sourced, high-quality materials can make in the performance and longevity of your trailers.
