Product description

Livestock trailer with overrun brake

The trailer offers a 14 m² loading area and a payload of 5.360 kg. The loading ramp, tarpaulin frame with laced tarpaulin and overrun brake are all included as standard – with a power requirement of just 41,6 PS.

Overrun brake – the trailer is compatible with almost any towing vehicle

This is the key feature of this version.

The overrun brake is entirely mechanical – it is activated when the trailer pushes against the towing vehicle. This means the towing vehicle does not need a compressed-air or hydraulic braking system.

• Behind older tractors without a brake connection
• Behind pick-ups, off-road vehicles and Unimogs
• Behind municipal vehicles with a towing hitch

For businesses without a suitable tractor – horse owners, part-time farmers and small livestock keepers – this is often the only practical solution.

41,6 PS – the lowest figure in the range

That is remarkably little for a payload of 5,4 tonnes. This makes the trailer suitable for compact tractors and small agricultural tractors.

Wooden floor and plywood walls – why this makes sense

The floor is made of 30 mm impregnated wood, and the walls of 18 mm waterproof plywood.

Why wood works well for livestock transport:

• Warmer than metal. Animals stand much more comfortably on wood – especially in winter, when a metal floor gets very cold.
• Better grip. Impregnated wood provides better footing than smooth metal, even when wet.
• Quieter. Wood absorbs the sound of hooves, reducing stress for the animals during the journey.
• Repairable. A damaged board can be replaced individually.

Optional equipment includes a 4 mm chequer plate floor and a rubber floor. The rubber floor combines grip with cushioning and is the gentlest option for longer journeys.

Non-slip loading ramp with safety rails

The ramp is made of waterproof plywood and has a non-slip finish. Fold-down side safety rails are included.

Why the safety rails are more than just an extra: Animals move sideways when loading as soon as they hesitate. Without side guidance, they can jump off the ramp, risking injury to both animal and handler. The rails form a race and guide the animal straight into the trailer.

The platform height of 945 mm means the ramp has a moderate angle.

Two access points: rear and side

• Mechanically operated tailgate with lifting springs to assist with raising it.
• Front right-hand side door – for access to individual animals and for checking on them during breaks in the journey.

Tarpaulin frame with laced tarpaulin included as standard

Both are included in the scope of delivery. The tarpaulin protects against wind, rain and sun – and blocks the animals’ view of the passing surroundings, helping to keep them noticeably calmer.

14 m² loading area – how many animals can it carry?

The loading area is 14 m², with a payload of 5.360 kg.

Important: Permitted stocking density is governed by the EU Regulation on the protection of animals during transport and depends on the species, weight and duration of the journey. It must be checked on a case-by-case basis – the available area alone is not the deciding factor.

Optional internal partition

It divides the loading area. This allows animals to be transported separately – by group or size, or to prevent them from sliding forwards when the trailer is only partially loaded.

Sheet-metal body as an alternative

Optional equipment includes a body with 2 mm sheet-metal walls – with a mechanically adjusted, non-slip chequer-plate tailgate and a side door.

When this makes sense: for intensive use and frequent cleaning. Sheet metal is easier to disinfect than wood – an advantage for livestock dealers and businesses subject to animal disease control requirements.

Extended hydraulic tailgate

Also available as an option in two versions to suit wooden or sheet-metal walls. It makes loading considerably easier because it is hydraulically operated and longer.

Additional equipment

• German type approval incl. registration certificate
• 4 mm chequer plate floor
• Rubber floor
• Internal partition
• Extended hydraulic tailgate for wooden or sheet-metal walls
• Body with 2 mm sheet-metal walls, chequer-plate tailgate and side door
• LED interior lighting
• 12 V LED lighting system with side marker lights
• Spare wheel
• Warning triangle for slow-moving trailers

Applications

Cattle farming, pig farming, sheep and goat farming, horse businesses, livestock trading, part-time farms, small livestock keeping, businesses without a tractor with a brake connection.

Operating notes

• The EU Regulation on the protection of animals during transport governs stocking density, journey duration and certificates of competence – check the requirements before every journey.
• Approval and a certificate of competence are required for commercial animal transport.
• Check the towing vehicle’s nose weight capacity: up to 1.000 kg.
• Check the overrun device and breakaway cable regularly.
• Position the ramp securely before loading and fold out the safety rails.
• Securely lock the doors and tailgate before travelling.
• Clean and disinfect the floor after every journey – this is part of preventing animal diseases.
• Check the wooden floor regularly for damage and replace damaged boards.
• When travelling on the road, bear in mind the height of 3.012 mm.
• Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a compressed-air brake on the towing vehicle?

No. The overrun brake is entirely mechanical – the trailer can be towed by any vehicle with a towing hitch, including pick-ups, Unimogs and older tractors.

How much can the trailer carry?

5.360 kg with a permissible gross weight of 8.000 kg.

How large is the loading area?

14 m². Permitted stocking density is governed by the EU Regulation on the protection of animals during transport and depends on the species, weight and duration of the journey.

Why choose a wooden floor instead of metal?

Wood is warmer, provides better grip and is quieter than metal, reducing stress for the animals. A damaged board can also be replaced individually. Chequer plate and rubber floors are available as alternatives.

What are the safety rails on the ramp for?

Animals move sideways when loading as soon as they hesitate. The fold-down rails form a race and guide the animal straight into the trailer.

What tractor do I need?

41,6 PS or 30,6 kW and a hitch capable of handling 1.000 kg nose weight – the lowest figure among the livestock trailers in the range.

Are the tarpaulin and ramp included in the price?

Yes, the tarpaulin frame, laced tarpaulin and non-slip loading ramp with safety rails are included as standard.

Is a sheet-metal body available?

Yes, as optional equipment – with 2 mm sheet-metal walls, a chequer-plate tailgate and a side door. Sheet metal is easier to disinfect than wood.
