New Fautras Horse Trailers For Sale
All Models benefit from Polyester body – Galvanised chassis and frame – American doors (small ramp on Oblic model). European patented lowered floor on Club, Provan, Provan and Promax Models. Galvanised mudguards – Galvanised kickboarding – Non rotting Polyprepylene floor. Auto reverse brakes – Spare wheel included – Sliding shutter vents in rear doors (3 positions). Coupling lock – Jockey wheel – 7 colours – Possibility of dual colours.
Why choose a Fautras Trailer?
These revolutionary horse trailers feature a patented lowered floor to the rear of the trailer, which allows the horse or pony to step straight into or out of the trailer. This avoids potential injuries from horses slipping on wet or dirty ramps. Although the Oblic and Promax 3 models have a pull out ramp, we find very few of our customers actually use them, preferring to load simply from the ground onto a safe flat surface.
All Fautras trailers have two American style rear doors. By fully opening both doors the Fautras trailer can be reversed back flush to a loose box or barn doorway to allow the horse to step straight in. By half opening the doors the horse can be guided into the trailer. By opening one door at a time the first horse can be safely loaded or unloaded away from the second horse; thus eliminating the possibility of the first horse backing out or injuring the owner.
Floors manufactured from polypropylene petro-plastics are rot – resistant and maintenance free. This material is a by product of the oil industry, and does away with concerns of weak or rotten floors.
Direct traction chassis giving excellent road handling and easy steering.
Fautras horse trailers have round breast bars, which incorporate a rapid release system. In the unlikely event of a horse having climbed over the breast bar, he can be released quickly without an allen key.
Specially designed galvanised removable revolving head guards are a standard fitting on all Fautras forward facing trailers. These allow people to access the horse without hindrance at the front of the trailer.
Sliding windows on each side and casement type shutters in the top half of the rear doors that have various settings, allowing airflow through the horse area to be regulated.
Fautras trailers are available with one or two front exit doors which allows horses to be unloaded individually to the front. Leaving both front doors open creates excellent ventilation on a hot day.
An independent suspension system guarantees a smooth ride, this incorporates an auto reverse mechanism and self adjusting brakes which only need to be serviced once a year. The whole chassis and other metal components are hot dip galvanised for a long, rust-free life.
The spare wheel is situated on the inside, but can be placed on the outside on the front or side according to the customer’s wish.
All Fautras Provan and Club models incorporate a unique automatic jockey wheel, which makes hitching and unhitching easy.
The Provan and Obic models are available in a choice of 7 standard colours , however, should you wish to choose a more individual colour scheme, most other colours can be supplied to order (although a premium may be charged).
