Stake fence semi-trailer, also known as cattle cage trailer or stake cargo semi-trailer, is one of the most popular trailer types for cross-border logistics in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. It is widely chosen by fleet owners for its flexible structure and wide cargo compatibility.

Different from flatbed trailers and side wall trailers, this trailer is equipped with removable high fence stakes. The fence structure can prevent cargo from falling off during transportation. The stakes can be disassembled quickly, so you can turn it into a flat platform when needed. It brings great flexibility for your transport business.

This trailer is suitable for many kinds of cargo. It is commonly used to transport livestock such as cattle, sheep and goats. Besides livestock, it also works well for bagged goods, timber, steel pipes, pallets, construction materials and other bulk cargo that needs fence protection.

The main frame adopts high-strength steel to ensure strong load capacity. The fence is welded firmly yet easy to take apart. We can adjust the fence height, spacing, trailer length and axle quantity according to local traffic regulations and your cargo types. Optional configurations include standard axles, heavy-duty suspension, ABS braking system and wear-resistant tires.

Many clients wonder the difference between stake fence semi-trailer and dropside side wall trailer. Side wall trailers have solid closed panels, better for goods that need protection against rain. Stake fence trailers are open-structured, with good ventilation. That is the key reason why it is the first pick for livestock transport.

For livestock transport, good air circulation inside the compartment helps keep animals safe and reduce losses. For bagged cargo and timber, the fence stops loads from sliding out on bumpy roads.

Before ordering, you need to confirm the local axle load limit, maximum overall length and height restriction. If you mainly carry livestock, we can upgrade the fence design with anti-slip floor and extra safety latches. If you transport timber and steel, we can reinforce the stake posts for higher impact resistance.
