Painted or galvanised, the JOSKIN RDS livestock trailer is designed on the basis of experienced veterinary surgeons and stock breeders' advice in order to reach the highest level possible of comfort and ease of use. Available with a single or double axle and a length from 5 m to 9 m, it is fitted with a drawbar with leaf suspension and a tubular chassis that, together with the side walls (4 mm), forms a monocoque body of 210 cm high. If you choose the galvanised version, your livestock trailer will benefit from a high resistance in time against the effect of faeces.
The Betimax RDS livestock trailer is fitted with a "reclining" system. The axles are fitted on double-acting hydraulic rams allowing to lower the trailer to the ground. The loading and unloading height is therefore limited to 14 cm while the transport height is 63 cm. This reclining system replaces the access ramp, so that no operation is required from the user and accident risks are limited when loading or unloading the cattle. Every hydraulic ram is fitted with a check valve preventing the vehicle from falling down if hydraulic hoses should break.
Two finishes are possible for the RDS livestock trailers. With the galvanised model, the floor will automatically be covered with a soft 3-component resin similar to the one used on livestock transport trucks. The resin has anti-slip and soundproof properties and turns out to be particularly comfortable for the animals. For the painted models, the floor is a chequered plate (the resin remains available as an option). While cleaning, water and faeces are flushed out through two draining caps (Ø 2’’). The inner edge - conforming to the regulations in force - prevents faeces from flowing out while driving.
The stringers of the chassis (180 x 100 mm or 220 x 120 mm depending on the model) and the 4-mm thick side walls form a tight monocoque body.
The rear door with two independent smooth leaves with integral opening offers a passage wider than the body, to avoid constrictions and injuries of the animals.
Thanks to the standardisation, several options can be added later on, without any modification of the body, to complete the equipment of your RDS livestock trailer: various outside fences (pivoting or pivoting on rail) to easily load the livestock, inner partitions (a fence or a door), a cover, which is useful if the livestock trailer stays outdoors the whole year through, plus many more!
