Kirin Industries is proud to have delivered a new 12-pallet curtain sider on Sitrak G5S 4×2 to Followmont Transport, a vehicle that not only supports freight operations across Queensland and beyond, but also carries an important message for Australian communities.
Featuring striking full-body artwork promoting the Get Yourself Checked men's health initiative and the iconic Gympie Music Muster, this truck demonstrates how commercial vehicles can be used to make a positive impact both on and off the road.
A Moving Message for Men's Health
Prominently displayed along the curtain is the simple but powerful message:
GET YOURSELF CHECKED
The campaign aims to encourage men to prioritise their health and undertake regular prostate cancer screening. Early detection remains one of the most effective tools in the fight against prostate cancer, yet many men continue to delay or avoid routine health checks.
As this truck travels throughout Queensland and interstate freight corridors, it will help bring that message to thousands of Australians every week.
For an industry built on hardworking people who often spend long hours on the road, raising awareness around men's health is a cause that resonates strongly with drivers, operators and transport businesses alike.
Supporting Queensland Communities
The artwork also celebrates the Gympie Music Muster, one of Australia's most recognised country music festivals and a major event for regional Queensland.
Held annually in the beautiful Amamoor Creek State Forest, the Muster attracts visitors from across Australia while supporting charities, community organisations and regional tourism.
Together, these two initiatives create a vehicle that not only moves freight but also promotes causes that strengthen communities throughout Queensland.
Purpose-Built for Everyday Freight Operations
Behind the eye-catching graphics is a hardworking freight vehicle designed to meet the demands of modern transport operations.
The new body features:
- 12-pallet curtain sider configuration
- Full side-loading capability
- Heavy-duty freight restraint systems
- Integrated side access door
- Rear tailgate loader
- Durable construction for high-frequency freight operations
- Efficient loading and unloading for palletised freight
Built to handle the rigours of daily distribution work, the body delivers the reliability and practicality required by one of Australia's leading transport companies.
Proudly Made in Queensland
This project represents more than a new addition to the Followmont fleet—it showcases Queensland businesses supporting Queensland communities.
Designed and manufactured at Kirin Industries' Crestmead facility, this curtain sider was built by a local team using Australian expertise and craftsmanship. Every stage of the build was completed with a focus on durability, safety and long-term performance.
As Queensland continues to grow, locally manufactured transport equipment plays an important role in supporting jobs, developing skills and strengthening local supply chains.
For Kirin Industries, every truck body built locally contributes to that future.
A Shared Queensland Story
Followmont Transport has grown from its Queensland roots into one of Australia's most respected transport companies while maintaining a strong commitment to the communities it serves.
Likewise, Kirin Industries has grown from a small truck body builder into a rapidly expanding Queensland manufacturer supplying fleet operators, rental companies and transport businesses across Australia.
This latest delivery reflects the values shared by both companies—supporting local industry, investing in communities and helping keep Australia moving.
We thank Followmont Transport for the opportunity to be involved in this meaningful project and look forward to seeing this truck on the road, delivering freight while promoting awareness for causes that genuinely make a difference.
Proudly Made in Queensland. Built to Move Freight. Built to Raise Awareness. Built to Make a Difference.
