Carole Park, Queensland-based, GLT Trailers, has recently expanded their collaboration with JOST, becoming an authorised dealer for HYVA Hookloader and Skiploader systems.
The appointment enables GLT to offer operators a complete, Australian-engineered solution for truck-mounted lifting systems built for waste, construction, civil and heavy-industry applications.
GLT provides advanced fabrication, body building, hydraulic integration, repairs, and PBS approvals within a single facility.
This positions GLT to deliver precise installations of HYVA equipment onto rigid truck chassis, ensuring each system is engineered for durability, efficiency and compliance.
“Operators want confidence that their lifting system has been installed by a team that understands heavy-vehicle engineering from the ground up,” said GLT Trailers CEO, Shay Chalmers.
“Our in-house manufacturing and engineering capability allows us to optimise HYVA Hooklift and Skiploader systems for the specific truck application, whether that’s waste collection, infrastructure support or bulk material handling.”

GLT’s body-building capabilities include:
- Custom truck body designs matched to HYVA equipment.
- Full hydraulic system integration.
- Structural fabrication and reinforcement for high cycle lifting.
- PBS approvals.
- repairs, parts and lifecycle support through GLT’s expanding service division.
“By bringing engineering, fabrication, installation and aftersales support into one location, we remove the complexity operators often face when dealing with multiple suppliers,” said GLT Head of Sales & Marketing, Leanne Stewart.
“It means faster turnaround, cleaner integration, and the assurance that the entire build has been completed by specialists.”
As JOST and HYVA continue their integration globally, this strengthened partnership with GLT complements its established leadership in aluminium tipper manufacturing.
The collaboration reinforces shared priorities around safety, durability and engineering excellence, ensuring operators benefit from reliable equipment built for the demands of Australian conditions.
