Features & Benefits
“I love my Featherlite! It is bigger than my previous trailer but much lighter and easier for me to hitch, load and haul my cattle to shows by myself. Before Featherlite my fuel mileage dropped greatly when I hauled even a few head of cattle. Now it is about the same whether hauling or not. This trailer has been a tremendous time and money saver for me.”

STOCK TRAILER FEATURES & BENEFITS

All-aluminum construction
Featherlite customers have confidence in knowing their stock trailers are made with all aluminum frame and skin. Trailer owners prefer aluminum Featherlites’ higher payload capacity. Featherlites traditionally hold their value longer. With just routine maintenance, they have superior resistance to rust and corrosion. And since they are lighter in weight than comparable steel trailers, Featherlite customers report fuel savings and a smoother tow. Durable all-aluminum construction secures you many more miles of hauling.

Uni-body design
All components of the Featherlite stock trailer from side posts to roof rails to roof bows to cross members are engineered into a uni-body design. The uni-body design makes the trailer stronger and more durable for the long haul.

Aluminum floor
Durability on the outside is also found inside. Most Featherlite livestock trailers come with a skid resistant extruded aluminum floor standard.

PerfectFitTM System

The Featherlite PerfectFit System allows you to choose your trailer your way. Your trailer will come with a number of standard features. However, you can opt to alter these features for a trailer more suited to you. In addition to standard features, your trailer is available with a mix of optional accessories. Your Featherlite dealer will take you through a streamlined step-by-step process to discover the right livestock trailer for you quickly and easily.

‘Wave’ side panels
Featherlite’s ‘Wave’ side panels on its stock trailers dynamically advance the trailer’s exterior appearance. The sleek undulating design of the side panels is standard on Featherlite stock trailers with aluminum side panels.

L.E.D. wraparound lights
Most Featherlite trailers are outfitted with great-looking LED wraparound lights that give trailers more visibility when traveling down the road. L.E.D lights also use less energy and last longer than conventional lighting.

Tapered gooseneck
The tapered gooseneck on Featherlite stock trailers creates better aerodynamics during travel.

Pierce and roll
The pierce and roll system is used in the construction of the roof of each Featherlite livestock trailer. Used by airplane manufacturers, the pierce and roll system drives high strength rivets into the aluminum, but no hole fully pierces the roof’s skin. Instead a secure, water-resistant crown forms up and around the bottom of every rivet, reducing opportunities for water leakage. Standard riveting used by others can create hundreds of holes in the roof of a stock trailer where water can infiltrate if rivets or openings become worn. In addition, Featherlite’s arched aluminum roof is stronger and functions to allow rain or snow to run off more efficiently.

Heavy-duty crossmembers

Featherlite stock trailers have a support system second to none underneath the trailer. 4-inch crossmembers run every 12” under most livestock trailers to support your heavy cattle loads.

Wiring harness
With Featherlite stock trailers, wires are bundled in a protective jacket, known as the Featherlite wiring harness. Wire harnesses provide a watertight seal, protect against wire wear and tear and make connecting them easy. Without the harness, the individual wires would hang loose and unprotected.

Safety
All Featherlite trailers meet federal safety standards.
