What should buyers expect when purchasing from an authorized Galyean trailer dealer in Texas?
Buyers purchasing through an authorized Galyean dealer receive direct factory-backed specifications, access to stock units, and custom ordering capabilities tailored to operational demands. Star Manufacturing stocks units directly on our lot in Wharton, Texas, and accepts custom builds for haulers requiring specific layouts. Purchasing through an authorized dealer ensures that all factory specifications, warranties, and components are handled correctly from initial order to final delivery.
We coordinate equipment viewings by appointment so that working ranchers and cattle haulers can inspect units thoroughly without rushed timelines. Following a purchase, logistical arrangements are handled directly. Delivery is free for the first 150 miles from our location. Any delivery distance beyond 150 miles is billed at $3 per mile one way.
What are the standard specifications and build configurations for Galyean livestock trailers?
Galyean livestock trailers are built by Galyean Equipment Mfg.

How do Galyean livestock trailers compare to the Star manufacturing line?
Star Manufacturing maintains two distinct equipment categories on our lot: authorized Galyean trailers and our own in-house manufactured Star cattle trailers. Both product lines serve working ranchers, and neither line is positioned against the other. Buyers select the model that matches their specific preference for construction style and configuration.
A notable distinction in surface treatment involves the exterior finish. Galyean trailers are painted only, utilizing a heavy-duty paint system with a corrosion-inhibiting base coat and protective clear coat. For buyers who specifically require hot dip galvanizing, that finish is available as a distinct option on the Star manufacturing line only.
How can ranchers view available inventory or schedule a trailer consultation?
Ranchers and livestock haulers can review live stock on our inventory page or reach out directly through our contact page to discuss specifications and availability. Because trailer configurations vary based on length, gate setups, and custom orders, calling directly ensures accurate information regarding specific units currently on the lot.
Pricing for standard inventory is available upon request. For inquiries regarding larger configurations, such as the 40-foot model, buyers should check current lot availability or contact our office directly for pricing details.
