Star Manufacturing in Wharton, Texas, serves as an authorized dealer for Galyean Equipment Mfg. Co. livestock trailers, stocking units on our lot and taking custom orders. We also manufacture our own line of heavy-duty units. Both lines are available to working ranchers, and buyers can evaluate structural features across our complete selection of cattle-trailers. This specification guide details the dimensions, weights, running gear, and standard finishes of Galyean trailers so hauling crews can review the equipment accurately.
What are the available lengths and standard dimensions of Galyean stock trailers?
Galyean livestock trailers are manufactured by Galyean Equipment Mfg. Co. in Henderson, Texas, in seven distinct lengths spanning 16 feet to 40 feet. Every model in the lineup maintains a standard exterior width of 6 feet 8 inches and a standard bow height of 6 feet 6 inches. Whether you need a shorter configuration for sorting small groups or a long multi-compartment hauler for cross-state transport, the core structural footprint remains consistent across all length options.

What running gear and flooring come standard on Galyean trailers?
Galyean trailers utilize a heavy-duty torsion suspension system designed to absorb road shock and protect livestock during transport over rough ranch roads and paved highways. Torsion axles operate independently, which helps keep the trailer level and reduces bounce when hauling partial loads. The running gear rides on 235/75/17.5 18-ply tires mounted to heavy-duty wheels built for heavy hauling. Inside the stock compartment, the trailers feature an X-Lug cleated rubber floor that provides solid footing for cattle and is backed by a 20-year no-rot warranty. Overhead weather protection is provided by a durable 18 oz canvas top secured firmly to the steel bow framework.
What finish and gate configurations are available on Galyean livestock trailers?
Galyean trailers utilize a heavy-duty paint system featuring a corrosion-inhibiting base coat topped with a protective clear coat to handle demanding outdoor conditions. For buyers comparing different manufacturing specifications, hot dip galvanizing is an alternative option offered exclusively on our Star-manufactured line, giving ranchers a choice between finishing methods when selecting from our two available lines of cattle-trailers. Interior and rear configurations on Galyean units include popular butterfly rear gates, with cut gates and center dividers available as options to organize cattle sorting during transit.
Where can you review Galyean models and request specific pricing?
