Choosing the right livestock trailer for your farming needs
Understanding your livestock transportation needs:
Transporting livestock demands precision, safety, and reliability. The right trailer ensures efficient movement and the well-being of animals during transit.
Considerations when buying a livestock trailer:
- Size & style: We stock 14ft to 16ft livestock trailers, available in both bumper pull and gooseneck styles, catering to varied hauling capacities and towing preferences.
- Safety: Features like 4-wheel electric brakes and an emergency breakaway battery backup prioritize the safety of livestock and drivers alike.
- Durable flooring: Pressure-treated wood floors offer durability and grip, ensuring stable footing for animals.
- Maximized space: No internal wheel fenders mean more room for livestock, simplifying loading and unloading.
Weight considerations:
Different livestock types and numbers have varying weight profiles. For instance, a full-grown cow can weigh well over 1,000 pounds, while sheep average around 200 pounds. It's essential to choose a trailer that can comfortably accommodate the combined weight of your livestock, ensuring safe and efficient transportation. Consider both the type and number of animals you'll transport when making your selection.
Cattle trailers and beyond:
We proudly stock Delta trailers. These livestock trailers are versatile and suitable for transporting a range of animals, from cows to pigs and sheep, ensuring comfort and safety for all.
