Bateson Deauville Boston Horse Trailer in Penicuik
A super trailer that combines a low unladen weight, exceptional strength, good aerodynamics and stable towing characteristics. To carry up to two 17.hh horses. The chassis and frame is hot dipped galvanised steel with a semi monocoque construction allowing a low floor height and a lower centre of gravity than other trailers, also providing increased ground clearance, less unladen weight and an extra 3" headroom within the same overall height. The trailer has Avonride softride fully independent rubber suspension with automatic reversing brakes and a hydraulically damped hitch with a power assisted handbrake, front telescopic jockey wheel, and a spare wheel. The sides are panelled with specially manufactured glass fibre/plywood laminated panels with galvanised steel kicking panels and vacuum formed flexible padding panels. The floor is manufactured with a 22cm wide 2mm galvanised steel section down both sides where maximum strength and rot resistance is required. The centre section has a brand new rot proof plastic floor panel that is strong, solid and silent and offers total security. The stalls have two 18mm removable rubber floor mats that lift out to allow the floor to dry during washing and for periodic inspection. The front floor section and ramps are bonded with reinforced non-slip rubber matting. It also recently was fitted with brand new rear lights and wiring. The roof is heat reflecting white plastic coated galvanised steel with a moulded glass fibre front section and a large vacuum formed window incorporating a ventilator. Ventilation is also provided in each side and over the rear doors. Divisions are galvanised steel with flexible padding panels and reinforced rubber kicking skirts. The front and rear bars are fully padded and adjustable for height and remain attached to the division, out of the way of the horses during loading and unloading. The trailer has a high standard specification and is fully equipped with a unique coupling mirror, which allows the trailer hitch to be seen by the driver during coupling eliminating miss alignment, and damaged bumpers. Interior lamp, hitch lock, internal and external tying rings and spare wheel are all standard. A saddle rack and cover is also fitted. The trailer has American style rear doors with a pull out ramp being easier to load and making the trailer more versatile.
