Trailer Electronic Technology for Safer, Easier Connection.
EZ
is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near
the female plug and "pop" it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket
and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone
o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system
water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all
the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in
my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights.

Cimarron
Premium Trailer Review, 10 Years to the Top
Even in the current recession, Cimarron Trailers is improving,
expanding and zeroing in on efficiency. The factory is staying the
same size, but putting out 25% more trailers. There is a handful of
aluminum trailer manufactures at the top in premium trailers. None
surpasses Cimarron current models. The top trailers need smart
engineering, custom doors and windows, top components, strong
beautiful welds etc. The result is quality uniformity on all
trailers from roof to axles. Where else would you build horse
trailers, but the heart of

Finally
ABS brakes for trailers !
Fast, smooth and safer than any
brake system we've tried. We took our test trailer to the race
track, smoked the brakes, burnt the seals and proved how
dramatically superior hydraulic disc rotors, electric-hydraulic
actuators, ABS modules and a trailer brake controller that
networks with your trucks computer can be. Electric brake drums
didn't stand a chance in our side by side comparison. A big step
toward safer trailering on our crowded highways and
unpredictable weather patterns.

brakes can make. |

Up in fifteen minutes, down in 10. It's a
nice kit that comes in a diamond deck plate
aluminum storage box. 6 inches wide,
will fit on running boards, fenders or put
it in your trailer or truck. You can use the
aluminum storage box on the ground to power
the electric corral. Very portable, you
could use it to selective graze, night
corral on pasture and fence off trees and
hay stacks when you're not using it with
your trailer to camp on trail rides.
You can hook several Express Corrals
together to camp with lots of horses
separate or together. The posts that come

Featherlite Trailers named #1 livestock
trailer manufacturer:
Featherlite Trailers was recognized as the
number one manufacturer of
livestock trailers
in 2011, as determined by data from
Statistical Surveys, Inc.
This is the
fifth consecutive year Featherlite has
received this award. Featherlite is the
nation’s oldest aluminum specialty trailer
brand, having built its first aluminum
livestock trailer in 1973.
New
2013 models unveiled at Featherlite:
Mobile cooling station, ‘Flex Foot’ ramps,
service/fuel trailer & more!
Featherlite
Trailers’ product development team had the
word ‘unique’ on their minds when developing
the new line up of 2013 Featherlite
trailers, which were introduced this week to
the Featherlite dealer network as part of
the annual 2-day Featherlite Dealer Meeting.
When visiting local dealers, trailer buyers
will have even more distinct models to
select from, as well as enhanced features
and options that offer more value,
convenience and safety.
The rest of the report |
Factory
Review: Featherlite
can pump
out thousands of trailers a year, from horse trailers, cargo
trailers, car haulers, NASCAR race trailers, specialty semi
trailers, helicopter pads and portable emergency rooms for events
like Katrina. Featherlite was the first aluminum specialty trailer
born in 1973 when I was sophomore in high school.
Featherlite started the trend in1985 with torsion axles,
ahead of the crowd.
Better ride than leaf springs and safer.

Automated
Safety Hitch,
Joe Jamieson
thinks towing is an evolutionary process,
should improve issues of safety and ease of
use. Now with thousands of miles towing with
the Automated Safety Hitch, I understand
it's importance and fun. I can take my rig,
which at times is 72 ft. long, weave in and
out of hotel parking lots, gas
stations and switchback mountain roads.
The
braking
steer axle makes it quadra-steer.
The
four features that standout the most using
this new trailer technology is, improved
braking, lane to lane direction changes
staying in your lane (turning corners,)
stability and jackknifing with purpose.

in the fine print explaining that weight is only for a 4x2 regular cab.
Finally there's hope comparing truck models towing ability. SAE (Society of

Cimarron's New EZ Angle Hay Rack Ladder
Do you use your hay
rack? Most horse trailer rack ladders are not easy
to climb nor are they very heavy duty. Cimarron
knows how to make ladders that don't bend or flex,
one of the best factory hay rack ladders in the
business. You can lift your bales, gas can, bags of
feed and spare tires right up the ladder. Having the
ladder pull away from the trailer at 22 degrees
makes it less work. It's hard to climb straight up a
barn style ladder.

Step
Above trailer ladder. I've
said it before, most folks don't use their hay racks. Mainly
because it's too hard to get to. A big share of factory hay rack
ladders don't cut it. Too narrow, flimsy or just plain scary.
Step Above is a slide-out aluminum ladder that makes the roof of
your trailer an easy trip and safe. Having the right angle
slanted away from the trailer takes the work out of climbing a
ladder just like your step ladder you use around the house. Step
Above slides out to the ground, just the right slope for
climbing.

Preparing

Many of the
horse industries have their mares foaling as close to January 1 as
possible to get the size and maturity needed for their sport. This
results in many “Decembuary” foals, although most barns will never admit
to owning one. The arrival of foals is exciting, but can be heart

foaling, have a foaling kit ready, and know when to call a vet.

You've probably guessed I like
technology that makes life easier. What else is science for? Here I review a
couple products that are well made in America and make the trailer trip

Stop
tire cupping, vibration and premature wear on those expensive
truck, RV & trailer tires.
Centramatic
automatic wheel balancers have been saving money on tires for
semi-trucks for over twenty years. Now you can automatically
balance your tires, wheels, hub and rotors or drums while you
drive. A balanced tire doesn't cub, vibrates less & lowers the
tire sidewall temperature from less flexing, giving you longer
tire life. 5 year warranty, made in the USA.
