Small livestock trailer wanted
« on: September 02, 2025, 07:08:37 pm »
Hi All, I am looking to buy a small livestock trailer for transporting pigs. I am in central belt Scotland and willing to travel for the right trailer.

I haven't got one for sale, sorry, and apologies for if this is an "egg sucking" reply, but, I purchased an 8ft single axle trailer many many years ago , which has proved to be very  useful and easily manoevred due to it's single rather than double axle.
If I was in the market for a small trailer, I would defintely look for a single rather than double axle trailer

I have refloored it twice, had to repair the tailgate hinges, fitted stock gates and also a rear support leg, but it's much easier to use than more modern ones

I was thinking of building a livestock trailer but was working out more expensive than buying a secondhand trailer, but you have planted the seed so I might go and look at some auction sites for used parts.
