One of our trailers was a Hedges Steco back in the 60's.
Presume the running gear came from Stecu and Athol Hedges made the frame?

Steco Trailers appear to have been operating as a licenced business arrangement with Steco Trailers of the U.S., around early WW2, or perhaps even before.
In June 1940, Fowler Road Maintenance Co of Sth Melbourne is advertising "Steco Patented Trailers", sales & service, and advice on transport problems, in the Melbourne Argus.
I'm pretty sure that Fowler Road Maintenance then became Fowler Constructions during WW2, to obviously better reflect it's business as manufacturing, rather than road maintenance.

It's quite possible WW2 demand for trailers saw the business expand substantially from a previously smaller operation.
In early June 1945, Fowler Constructions placed an advert in the Melbourne Argus, that they were taking "limited orders", for their line of "Steco Semi-Trailers, Tandem Axles, Mobile Cranes, and Hydraulic Hoists".
By September 1945, Fowlers ads were offering .. "STECO trailers and semi-trailers (all capacities and types), truck and tractor mounted Mobile Cranes, Tandem Axles, Hydraulic Hoists, Tractor Shovels, Quarry Dump Equipment, Wheels, Tyres, Axles, Turntables, & etc.".
There is a newspaper record showing a Steco trailer as one of the prizes, in a "find the ball" competition in Melbourne in 1946.

Steco Industries, Engineers of Melbourne, was registered as a company on 10th July 1950, with a paid-up capital of

The unusual five axle tank transporter floats (had a long dolly) that the Army had behind the Leyland Contractors were Steco.
