Hauling the Materials Behind a Serious Perimeter
High fence and game fence installation is a different job than standard barbed wire or field fencing. Crews building 8-to-10-foot game fence around exotic game ranches, hunting leases, and deer-proof perimeters haul heavier posts, taller wire rolls, and more specialized hardware — often over long distances of rough ranch terrain to reach the job site. That volume and weight require a trailer built for it, not a general-purpose flatbed pressed into service.
Star Manufacturing builds every trailer in Wharton, TX on a 5/16" thick, 3×5 heavy angle frame, seam welded for strength, and finishes it with a full hot dip galvanized coating — the entire trailer submerged in molten zinc rather than just painted — so game fence crews get equipment that can carry heavy material loads job after job without breaking down.
What Game Fence Crews Need in a Trailer
- High weight capacity for tall wire rolls, heavy steel or wood posts, and braces used in high fence construction
- Long deck length to haul post lengths that run taller than standard field fence posts
- Durable flooring and frame to handle loading/unloading with tractors, skid steers, or post-hole equipment
- Reliable towing over rough terrain since many game fence jobs sit well off paved roads on large exotic game or hunting properties
- Low-maintenance construction for crews running material hauls day after day across a project
Why Frame Strength Matters for Fence Material Hauling
A high fence job can require hundreds of posts and thousands of feet of heavy-gauge wire delivered to the site in stages. Star Manufacturing's seam-welded 3×5 heavy angle frame is built to carry that kind of repeated heavy load without the flex or fatigue that shortens the working life of a lighter trailer pushed hard on every trip.
Built to Outlast the Job
Game fence contractors move between ranch properties across a wide territory, often over gravel and dirt roads that expose equipment to more abuse than pavement. A fully hot dip galvanized trailer resists the rust and corrosion that comes from that kind of use, keeping the trailer working and holding its value across years of fence contracting work.
