indespension livestock trailers

[Xiaomi]

Personally I don’t like the Ifor easy load ramp which collapses loading sheep on uneven ground and makes me think I’ll chop a finger off in the wrong place at the wrong time! Newer ones might be better though?
Indespension is similar but locks off with a solid bar and pin, slightly more faf but won’t collapse when loading.

The Falcon seems to have the full door moving up and down. Not sure if it is a better system or not as I've not seen it in action.
I can't figure out how the Bateson 336 works from the photos - doesn't look great from photos, but maybe someone can explain.

I’ve a Bateson 326, and I wish I’d never seen it, never mind buying it. A half width of the deck lowers, to allow loading. but the deck ramp lowers inside the length of the trailer, so it’s impossible to have the top deck full.

I feel your pain brother. Used to get stick for ours. “You’ll never overload a Bateson!”

Had our Nugent a couple of years now, no issues. Love it. Swear jar doesn’t fill as quickly as it used to.

That's what the photos showed and I thought it was incorrect and couldn't be right. Dreadful looking system. do you have to manually lift the 1/2 deck?

Yes, that’s why you can’t fill the top deck.

They’d soon lose my order if they didn’t hold the quoted price!

I know someone who has a trailer on it's way any day now and the price has gone up £700, but they're giving him £700 more for his trade in so makes no difference to him
