Animal Trailers Key Terms


If you are shopping for a trailer to haul your farm animals, you should be familiar with animal trailers key terms. No matter what type of trailer you purchase, there are some animal trailers key terms that apply to all makes and models. Brake controllers, hitches, flooring and jacks are all common to every type of animal trailer. Read this guide to find out more about animal trailers key terms.

Brake controller

The brake controller and braking system connect the animal trailer to the vehicle. When you apply the brakes in the truck pulling the animal trailer, the brake controller applies the right amount of braking to the trailer to prevent skids. The brake controller mounts inside the cab of the truck.

Gooseneck hitch

A gooseneck hitch, or fifth-wheel hitch, connects the trailer to the truck in the middle of the truck bed. Part of the trailer rides over the truck bed. A gooseneck hitch trailer can be longer than a bumper hitch and has more towing capacity.

Trailer jack

A trailer jack holds the trailer level while it sits empty. Depending on the type and size of the trailer, there may be one or two trailer jacks. Trailer jacks usually come attached to the trailer, so you can disconnect the animal trailer at your destination and at home.

Flooring

The type of flooring in an animal trailer can affect the cost. Treated wood is an inexpensive material found in many animal trailers, but this type of flooring often rots out quickly because it is exposed to animal wastes. Aluminum is another popular option. Different treads are available to give the animal stability while the trailer is in motion.

Mats

Floor mats are specialty items for animal trailers. If you are hauling horses, special anti-fatigue mats help protect them. Special floor mats are also good for absorbing shocks for smaller animals as well.
