    Pierce & Roll Roof System

    Featherlite's exclusive pierce & roll roof 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 other manufacturers can create hundreds of holes in the roof of a trailer where water can infiltrate if rivets or openings become worn.

    Rubber Dock Bumper

    A thick 4” rubber dock bumper on the back of livestock trailers offers improved shock absorption when backing up to gates.

    Running Boards

    Running boards feature a full-length, one-piece design, giving a consistently wide platform over the length of the trailer for you to check in on your livestock. The running boards also taper near the rear, allowing for easier maneuvering in tighter spaces when unloading/loading livestock. Running boards standard on select trailers and widths.
