In the past, when people needed to move herds of livestock, the only way to do so was to walk the animals to their destination. Today, though, ranchers use livestock trailers to move their stock via the roads.
Our team at Canady Trailers has extensive experience in providing trailers for all kinds of applications, and you can count on us to help you find the best livestock trailers for your animals. Keep reading to learn about a few of the types of livestock trailers we offer.
- Gooseneck Livestock Trailers – One of the most popular styles of livestock trailers is the gooseneck trailer. These trailers do not attach to the towing vehicle at the hitching post on the rear bumper but instead connect to a hitch in the bed of the truck. Attaching the trailer here allows the weight of the load to be more evenly distributed across the vehicle’s frame, which in turn allows the trailer and towing vehicle to carry more weight.
- Bumper Pull Livestock Trailers – Another type of livestock trailer we offer is a bumper pull trailers. As you can guess from the name, these trailers attach to the rear bumper. This method of attachment limits the weight capacity of the trailer, so bumper pull trailers are smaller than gooseneck models and can hold fewer animals.
- Trailers with Living Quarters – If you spend a great deal of time transporting livestock, then you may want to invest in one of the many livestock trailers with living quarters available on the market. These trailers have space for your animals, but they also include a modest living area equipped with a bed, a dinette, and other necessities.
