2018 Hino 500FC2829 Livestock Truck

There is much to consider when hauling cargo either locally or cross-country, but when that cargo is livestock there are additional complications. More than the basic features of a cargo truck, transporting livestock requires features that take the well-being of the animals into account.

You also must keep in mind the type of animals you are moving, whether that be cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, or other livestock. The size of the animals changes the size of the trailer needed to haul them as well as how the trailer is designed.

There is plenty of variety in the new and used livestock truck category, but typically livestock trucks are chassis cab models fitted with different body types depending on the application. There are larger options for cattle, specially designed horse trailers, and even double-decker trucks with two separate compartments for animals.

Some of the most common livestock truck manufacturers you’ll see on TruckLocator.ie include DAF, Leyland, MAN, and Volvo.
