"The only thing I don’t like about the (Featherlite) trailer is that I forget it’s back there. It pulls so good. Since it’s so light, I have to watch myself when I’m passing to make sure I have enough room to pull back in. It’s a great trailer and with the aluminum, I haven’t had to do anything to it.”

8121 Livestock Trailer

Haul your livestock in comfort with Featherlite’s gooseneck trailer Model 8121. Its width allows more space for your livestock, and it is just as customizable as its cousins in the gooseneck trailer line. Select your ideal length, loading gate, axle configuration, air spacing and trailer height. Why mold yourself to fit a stock trailer when you can mold the trailer to fit you?

Select from Model 8121 gooseneck livestock trailers with lengths ranging from 16’ to 36’. Both the 8’ width and the 6’6” height can be altered if you choose. Like all Featherlite trailers, the Model 8121 is all-aluminum. It features several methods of loading and unloading, including a full-swing endgate with a slide-by on the driver’s side and a full opening center gate featuring a slider and slam latch. In emergencies, livestock can be unloaded through a curbside escape door. Other gooseneck livestock trailer safety features include wraparound LED lights and Featherlite’s watertight wiring harness.
