TL Engineering

TL Engineering TL Engineering is Western Australia's Premier Vehicle Body Builder. It provides Light Vehicle, Mobility and Truck Body Building Solutions.

WHY CHOOSE TL ENGINEERING ?

>PROVEN PRODUCTS
The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and there is no better proof than the TL trays and trucks, both old and new, rolling on our roads today. Employing designs that are often copied by competitors, TL’s products are proven performers shaped by decades of operating in the harshest environments imagineable. Ask a mining company why its utes are TL b

uilt. Ask a road builder why its trucks bear the TL logo. Speak to a regional bus company and find out why they entrust the safety of their kids to a TL bus fitout.

>BUILT ON EXPERIENCE
The TL team has delivered hundreds of thousands of vehicle builds since 1970. Builds made with Australian materials and by local tradesmen who are passionate about their industry. While other companies outsource or look to provide one-size-fits-all solutions, TL proudly manufactures, finishes and fits its builds exactly for the job and vehicle required. This comes naturally to a company whose Federal Authorised Modifier VSB 6 Code is – which means it was the first Western Australian company to receive such accreditation when VSB standards were introduced in Australia half a century ago. That sort of industry experience, is simply irreplaceable.

>MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL
Most TL builds will outlive their vehicles. That’s what happens when rugged materials and outstanding workmanship are combined in efficient designs. That’s what happens when products evolve steadily and surely from decades of feedback gained from end-users on the road, in the paddocks, in the cities and in the outback.

>REAL FLEET CAPACITY
TL Engineering delivers more completed vehicles in a year than most of its competitors will do during the lifetime of their businesses. TL’s capacity is a product of its skilled workforce, extensive facilities and most of all, the flexibility and capability that enables it to deploy personnel to specific jobs as required. And because every part of the build, from hydraulics to electrics and painting, is completed in-house and managed on site, it’s also delivered on time.

>SAFETY & STANDARDS
True vehicle safety comes from functional body builds and a proper safety accreditation regime. Vehicles arriving at TL Engineering today will return to the customer expertly fitted with proven products that have stood the test of time and the test of testing! All bullbars, rollbars, trays, towbars and cargo barriers are tested to ensure they complement the safety features of the vehicle. TL also commissions external engineers to approve all uniquely modified vehicles and buses. Can all vehicle body builders offer this?

>BACKUP & SERVICE
Within a few hours of being deployed, most of our clients’ vehicles are being used for what they were designed: Tipper trucks are scratched and dirtied from their loads and wheelchair lifts cycle up and down many, many times a day. It’s after this initial running in period that the inherent quality and efficiency of a modified vehicle will be proven during normal everyday use. And this is what TL vehicles are designed and built for: To be used safely and efficiently, every day. Should issues or the need for fine-tuning arise, TL Engineering backs up all its products and work with pride.

Another capability milestone for TL Engineering.

From 1 June 2026, we're the authorised Perth service agent for Hammar sideloaders.

Hammar is a globally respected name in sideloading equipment, and we're proud to be the workshop backing their WA customers. This is part of our broader push to expand what we can offer, so that WA operators have access to the right expertise, right here at home, without shipping equipment interstate or waiting on fly-in support.

There's a reason we still build everything in Perth.

When a vehicle is heading to a mine site in the Goldfields, a farm in the Great Southern, or a work site in the Mid West, the people who built it need to understand what it actually means to send a vehicle into that environment and need it to come back.

That knowledge doesn't come from a product catalogue. It comes from 50 years of building for Western Australian conditions, talking to the operators who use the vehicles, and being accountable when something needs to be fixed.

Imported bodies are cheaper on paper. What they don't carry is the local knowledge, the local engineering, and the local support that comes with a build from Hazelmere.

That's why WA-made matters.

See what 50 years of building for WA looks like.

Every vehicle that leaves our Hazelmere workshop has a job to do.

For a mining contractor in the Pilbara, it might be a fully kitted mine spec service truck that keeps equipment running through a 12-hour shift. For a farmer in the Wheatbelt, it's a custom ute tray built to handle corrugated roads and a full load every single day. For a pastoral operation in the Gascoyne, it's a vehicle that has to perform reliably hundreds of kilometres from the nearest service centre.

For over 55 years, TL Engineering has built vehicles for the people and organisations that Western Australia depends on. Mining, resources, government, agriculture, utilities, and commercial fleets. We understand that when the vehicle doesn't perform, neither does the operation behind it.

Since 1970, WA's hardest working vehicles have come out of one workshop in Perth. Everything we build starts in Hazelmere and ends up doing the hard work across Western Australia.

Mine spec service trucks, crane trucks, l**e trucks, custom ute trays, explosives boxes, manhaul vehicles. If it works hard for a living, we've built it.

Every build is designed, fabricated, and finished at our Perth workshop before heading out to mine sites, government fleets, farms, and remote operations across the Pilbara, the Kimberley, the Goldfields, and beyond.

Perth's vehicle body builders since 1970.

TL Engineering has just launched Australia's very first Ford Ranger Super Duty single cab ute with a purpose-built explosive box and we want to tell you why this matters for your operation.

The Ford Ranger Super Duty platform gives you 4,500kg GVM and approximately 1,982kg payload capacity straight from the factory, with no heavy modification program required to get it compliant and ready for site. That means lower setup costs, less downtime, and a vehicle your operators will actually want to drive.

Every build is 100% Perth-made, backed by 50+ years of fabrication excellence, and built to the compliance and safety standards your operation demands.

We have three build options available depending on your setup. Whether you need a blast box only, a full tray and box package, or a complete turnkey vehicle, we will work with you to get it right.

If you are in mining, drilling, or blasting and you want to know more, drop us a message or hit the enquire button on our page.
