A 4m cattle trailer gives you the length to move a larger group of animals in one trip, and this 2.3 ton tandem is the entry point to the long-body range. It runs a 4.0 m by 1.8 m deck on two leaf-sprung axles rated at 1 600 kg each, with full-height stock rails and a combination swing-and-slide rear gate that moves cleanly whether the trailer is loaded or empty.<\/p>\n
The step from a 3.0 m to a 4.0 m body is a full metre of floor, which is the difference between crowding stock and giving them room to stand square on a long haul. Animals travel better with space to brace against the motion of the trailer, and a metre of extra deck also lets you carry mixed sizes without the smaller beasts being pushed around. On a 1.8 m width, the 4.0 m deck suits a working cattle or game operation that regularly moves several head at once rather than the odd single animal.<\/p>\n
Loading is through a swing-and-slide combination gate at the rear, running on rollers at the bottom so it moves cleanly under load rather than dragging on the deck. The floor is a 2.0 mm lipped-channel deck with drain strips, and the wheels sit outside the body so the inside keeps its full 1.8 m width. Rails and headboard stand a full 1.8 m with the first 300 mm closed off in plate on a 50 mm square-tube frame, keeping legs and hooves inside the panelling where an animal leans on it. It is a layout built for daily farm work rather than the occasional move.<\/p>\n
