Features Of High-Quality New Horse Trailers

By Catalina Nielsen


Transporting horses properly requires the right equipment and there are so many options for anyone looking to buy a trailer. However, there are some things that a person needs to consider when shopping for the right equipment to buy. The features that you could find in high-quality new horse trailers are the following.

For starters, if it has been constructed using aluminum, that is a good sign. This is because it is going to be very lightweight and easier to pull. Better fuel economy is another thing that a lightweight one will provide. One can get a warranty that covers the structural integrity. If repairs are needed in future, you are covered and would have it replaced or done free.

A strong bonding sealant that is utilized in constructing the equipment would be more efficient. Components of a trailer can thus be held together permanently. The structure is sturdier and more likely to last for a long time. Reinforced wall lining is a great feature that one finds in quality equipment that is worth buying.

For the goose neck, if the noose is eight feet long rather than the standard seven feet, that is ideal for pulling. It means that one could find it much easier to hook on it because there will be no need of getting out of the truck to raise a tailgate when hooking up a trailer. Quick release hitch allows a person to release a goose-neck without climbing a truck bed.

Another good feature is if you have rechargeable batteries on the emergency brake of your trailer. You can always confirm if the battery is charged or not if it is a self-tester. If you were able to open as well as close the latches with your one hand, would be crucial for operation.

The head window on the escape door can be drop down and similar in size as other windows on the trailer. This feature means that the horses can have a comfortable ride with plenty of ventilation. The tires on the trailer need to be properly rated based on the weight. This makes the trailer more stable and easier to pull.

The axle being used is another thing worthy of consideration. If you have a good axle, it means a smoother ride for horses as well as the truck itself. LED lighting is good features because less current is used to light them up. Being brighter and longer lasting are the added benefits of LED lighting.

For the slant dividers, automotive locks could be utilized. This makes is easier for one to open them while being strong enough and able to bear the weight of the horses leaning against them. The trailer will also have added strength. The stall for the horses also needs to be big enough so that they can have enough room. The horses will feel very comfortable in a roomier stall compared to one that is cramped. The good news is that the new horse trailers can be bought at competitive prices and one gets value for money.
