A tow truck trailer safety chain failed in 2020, letting it disconnect and crash into the car carrying the girl.
Worksafe says a badly worn tow ball and coupling were to blame.
Johnston's Direct Logistics Limited has been ordered to pay 195 thousand dollars in fines and reparations.
Worksafe says the girl's death is a tragic reminder of the importance of basic maintenance.
