What is a Livestock Trailer?
A livestock trailer transports farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs. They are made of steel or aluminum to ensure the safety and comfort of the livestock during transit. The interiors are designed to prevent injury, and their features include individual compartments, ventilation systems, and non-slip flooring. These trailers are essential in modern farming, facilitating the efficient movement of animals between different locations for trade, grazing, or veterinary care.
What are the Various Livestock Trailers?
Stock trailers
Are multi-purpose trailers for transporting livestock, including cattle, horses, and pigs
Horse trailers
Are specifically for moving horses, featuring individual stalls and often including areas for tack and living quarters
Gooseneck trailers
Provide increased stability and can accommodate large numbers of livestock
livestock box trailers
Due to their enclosed design, livestock box trailers are for smaller livestock such as sheep or pigs
MOVING livestock trailer ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Transportation of heavy cargo, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery from state to state or across the country employ various methods to ensure safe and efficient delivery, including:
- Railway Transport: Economical for moving bulky machinery across vast distances without urgent deadlines.

• Flatbed Trailers: Commonly used for large machinery, ensuring secure anchoring.
• Semi-Truck: Suitable for medium-sized machinery with route flexibility.
• RGN (Removable Gooseneck): Ideal for tall machinery with a detachable front.

“Oversize load” signs and security vehicles are common for transporting oversized equipment.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OF livestock trailer
International shipping of the heavy machinery and cargo requires a thorough strategy to navigate the complex issues associated with international logistics, including compliance with international shipping regulations, customs procedures, and logistics management across vast global distances.
Atlantic Project Cargo offers clients expertise in both ocean freight and air freight:
- Ocean Freight:
• RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Cost-efficient for wheeled cargo.

While being a more expensive alternative to ocean shipping, air freight is a viable option for the time-sensitive shipment of heavy and oversized cargo.
