Livestock Trailers For Sale in New Zealand

About Livestock Trailers

In the MarketBook.co.nz Trailers category, non-semi livestock trailers come in tag-along, or bumper-pull, and gooseneck models. Some are designed to be pulled by a tractor or even by an ATV. Larger livestock trailers are useful for transporting stock to market or feedlots; others are smaller models for conveying show animals and breeding stock.

Eby Maverick Livestock Trailer

Also known as “stock crates,” “cattle crates,” “stock trailers,” “stock decks,” “cattle pots,” “swine trailers,” “cattle haulers,” “cattle trailers,” “portable hog traps,” and other names, they’re designed to transport sheep, hogs, cattle, and more.

Construction

Livestock trailers may have windows, slatted sides, and sometimes additional vents to give the animals ventilation.

You’ll find new and used livestock trailers for sale made of aluminum, steel, or a combination of the two. Steel livestock trailers are generally less expensive and can stand up to more punishment, but aluminum and alloy trailers have lower tare weight and more corrosion resistance.

Stock crates may include configurable interior partitions to keep the animals from crowding each other and shifting the weight balance of the trailer. These are called “division pens,” “divider doors,” “crowd gates,” “calf gates,” and more.

Flooring

Livestock trailers generally have a floor of metal, although some are made of pressure-treated wood or synthetic materials. Metal floors may be covered by mats or have diamond-plated, cleated, or otherwise textured surfaces to help livestock keep their footing. Note that in areas with sandy soils, cattle hooves may track in enough grit to pose an abrasion risk to aluminum flooring. Metal and wood floors alike must be cleaned out and dried after use to prevent deterioration from urine and moisture.
