Livestock Trailers
These trailers are built to comply with the Welfare of Animals (Transport) order 1997. The rigid bodied twin axle livestock trailers are available in various sizes. Manufactured with a fully-welded and hot-dip galvanised (to BS5070) steel chassis, 'goods'-style base and permanent stock body, galvanised channel steel roof hoops, permanently fastened 2.0mm aluminium sides and front, plastic coated 0.7mm glavanised steel roof sheets, and aluminium crush gates. There is a high roof version for larger animals.

Wessex 'Demountable' trailers are popular where a dual-purpose vehicle is required. Release the bolts along the edge of the stock body and it can then be lifted off by forklift or hoists in a matter of minutes, releasing a 6 ft 6 in wide, 3500Kg gross flatbed trailer complete with alloy treadplate floor.

Wessex Livestock trailers are all designed to comply with the Welfare of Animals (Transport) order 1997, for humane movement of livestock, but also go beyond this to achieve trailers that tow exceptionally well and have inherent longevity.
