Trailers Built for Livestock Trailer Parts & Accessories Distributors
This page is for distributors and wholesalers delivering trailer parts, gates, and accessories to dealers and shops. Parts and accessories distributors in ranch country run routes to dealers, repair shops, and ranch supply stores, carrying gates, axles, tires, fenders, latches, and floor boards. Loads are heavy, awkward, and long, and drivers load and unload at a dozen stops a week.
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. Laser cut, tabbed-and-slotted components give a precision fit.
What Livestock Trailer Parts & Accessories Distributors Need in a Trailer
- High deck capacity for axles, gates, and tire stacks
- Tie-down points and a low deck height for fast loading
- Long, straight deck lengths for gate and rail stock
- Corrosion resistance for racks parked outdoors between runs
Why Frame Strength and Galvanizing Matter
Repeated heavy loading, rough rural roads, and outdoor storage are hard on a lightweight or painted trailer. A seam-welded 3×5 angle frame resists fatigue and flex, and full hot dip galvanizing protects every seam and joint from rust, including areas paint can't reach. For a business whose trailer is part of daily work, that means fewer repairs and a longer service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size trailer should I choose?
Match length to your largest regular load. See the sizing table above, or call (979) 532-1486 and we'll talk through your operation.
Is hot dip galvanizing worth it?
For equipment that works outdoors year-round, yes. Full immersion coats every surface, inside and out, so rust can't start at welds or hidden seams.
Can I get a custom configuration?
Yes. Start with the quote builder or contact us to discuss options.
