Cattle Trailers for Sale in Elmira, New York
Elmira sits in Chemung County in New York's Southern Tier, a hilly stretch of terrain running along the Pennsylvania border where dairy and beef operations work land that's steeper and rougher than the flatter dairy country to the north. That terrain puts real demands on hauling equipment — trailers here need to handle grades, tight farm lanes, and the kind of everyday wear that comes with working hilly ground, not just interstate miles.
Star Manufacturing ships cattle trailers from our Wharton, TX shop to buyers across the Southern Tier, building trailers rugged enough for both the highway runs down to auction and the rougher hauling that comes with hillside farms.
Hills, Weather, and Why the Frame Matters
A trailer working hilly Southern Tier terrain takes more stress at the hitch and more flex through the frame than one running flat interstate miles all day. That's exactly why Star Manufacturing builds every trailer on a 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame that's seam welded rather than just tacked at the joints — it's a structure built to take real torsional stress without loosening up or cracking over years of use on uneven ground.
Combine that with the Southern Tier's harsh winters — plenty of road salt on Route 17/I-86 and the surrounding county roads — and a painted trailer is fighting a losing battle against corrosion within a few seasons. Every Star Manufacturing trailer is fully hot dip galvanized: the entire unit is submerged in molten zinc, coating every inch inside and out with a bonded zinc layer that simply doesn't chip off the way paint does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your trailers suited to hilly or uneven ground, not just flat highway hauling?
Yes — the 5/16" seam-welded angle frame is built to handle the added stress of grades and uneven farm terrain, which is common across the Southern Tier.
Do you offer trailers for smaller herds, not just commercial-scale operations?
Absolutely — our 14'-20' models are popular with smaller family operations moving a handful of head at a time, while our larger units serve commercial haulers.
