REGISTRATION-READY CHECKS
Emu Park Heavy Vehicle Inspection
A Heavy Vehicle Inspection under the HVRAS (Heavy Vehicle Registration Assessment Scheme) is required before registering certain heavy vehicles, trailers and caravans in Queensland. At Emu Park Automotive and Tyre Service, we carry out certified HVRAS inspections to ensure your vehicle meets all registration and compliance standards.
We assess dimensions, weights, compliance plates and any structural modifications to confirm that your vehicle is legally safe and eligible for registration. Located in Emu Park, our workshop provides timely, accurate assessments for a wide range of vehicles, including box trailers, caravans, heavy utes and commercial rigs.
We understand the compliance process and make it straightforward. Call

Ensure Your Vehicle is Compliant
The HVRAS process checks more than just road safety — it’s a legal requirement for first-time registrations of applicable vehicles. Inspections include measuring length, width and height, verifying axle and tyre configurations, confirming VIN placement and checking for any unapproved modifications. All details must comply with the Transport and Main Roads requirements before a registration can proceed.
We service private owners, tradespeople and commercial clients needing to register work trailers, modified utes, caravans or equipment hauliers. Our reports are detailed and legally recognised, helping to streamline the registration process and avoid costly delays. If issues are identified, we explain what needs fixing clearly and can assist with compliant repairs where needed.
FAQ
What You Want to Know
Do I need a HVRAS inspection for a caravan?
Yes, if you are registering a caravan in Queensland for the first time or after it has been unregistered, a HVRAS inspection is typically required. This ensures that the caravan complies with size regulations and has a valid compliance plate and identification markings. Without this inspection, the Department of Transport will not approve the registration process.
How do I know if my trailer or ute needs a HVRAS inspection?
If you're registering a trailer, caravan or heavy vehicle in Queensland for the first time or transferring an unregistered vehicle from interstate, it may require a HVRAS inspection. Any vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) over 750kg or those modified after manufacturing will likely need an inspection. Always check the Queensland Government guidelines or ask a certified inspector.
Is a HVRAS the same as a roadworthy certificate?
No, a HVRAS inspection is not the same as a roadworthy certificate. A HVRAS focuses on compliance with registration requirements, such as measurements, VIN and plate verification. A roadworthy certificate checks safety-related components like brakes, tyres and lights. Some vehicles may require both to complete the registration process, depending on their use and condition.
