Chassis Extension for Shorts Pastoral at Bureen, NSW

22nd June 2026

Custom Chassis Extension for a Growing Hay Business in the Upper Hunter

Uralla Metal recently completed a custom chassis extension project for Tom and the team at Shorts Pastoral, located in Bureen, NSW, near Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter region.

As their hay operation continues to grow, Shorts Pastoral required a prime mover modification that would better support the demands of their expanding business. Working closely with the team, Uralla Metal transformed the vehicle through a professionally engineered chassis extension designed to improve functionality, carrying capacity and operational efficiency.

Built for Agriculture and Transport

Bureen is a small rural town in the Upper Hunter, an area known for agriculture, livestock production, horse breeding and transport industries. Businesses throughout the region rely on heavy vehicles to move hay, grain, livestock and equipment across large distances, making reliability essential.

Our experienced team designed and completed the chassis extension to meet the specific requirements of Shorts Pastoral's hay transport operation. Every stage of the project was completed in-house by our qualified tradespeople, ensuring strong workmanship, safety and durability.
