About Our Trailers

Galyean is proud to announce our new line of steel gooseneck livestock trailers.



IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE, READ THIS:
For the last few years you have asked for it and Galyean has listened. Galyean is proud to announce our new line of steel gooseneck livestock trailers - Galyean Stock Trailers!    

Galyean utilizes the same high tensile plate steel that is used in the manufacture of its severe service off road tanker trailers to produce a stronger frame that is the backbone of the livestock trailer. This CNC formed “Z” pan has a higher vertical web for additional strength unlike any other trailer on the market. The unique “tee post” tubing design at rear of the trailer along with the wrapped tubing bumper adds more structural strength to the rear of the trailer. Welds are produced with a higher end quality gas and wire that is specifically found in certified vessel shops, applied by experienced certified welders.  

Galyean not only goes the extra mile to fabricate a stronger livestock trailer, Galyean believes that our paint coating system sets us apart from other manufacturers. Galyean uses the same paint process on its livestock trailers as we do on our DOT tanker trailers. Beginning with the advanced pretreatment process and applying the "world class" DuPont Imron high solids flex base color coat followed by a corrosion inhibiting clear coat. The clear coat provides exceptional gloss, color retention, and is much more resistant to rock chips and scratches compared to the standard non-clear coated systems.  All of these processes add up to long term durability, corrosion resistance and an extended life expectancy of the trailer.  
 
Galyean has thought of everything. The attention to detail is extraordinary, right down to the grease zerts on the latch receiver. There are many details that are standard for the Galyean Stock Trailer which other manufacturers consider to be options or upgrades



JUST TWO THINGS - The attention to detail is remarkable, right down to the grease zerts on the latch receiver. But the two most important features of our trailers are the uni-body FRAME and the FINISH. 




 
Uni-Body Frame

The obvious difference is the construction of the trailer itself. The stock trailers has a uni-body construction. That means the body is the frame. Therefore the durability of the frame dictates the lifespan of the trailer. Galyean's will outlast the rest! Standard stock trailers use fenders and body pans made out of 12 gauge sheet metal. Now the specification on 12 gauge sheet metal is a thickness of .1046 of an inch, or about a 1/10th of an inch. 
 
The Galyean trailer has fenders and body pans made of 3/16th plate (.18750)! 
 
The Galyean trailers use 2" x 2” angle but the placement is the key to their strength. They are placed longitudinally, the length of the trailer, on 12" centers, further supported by perpendicular 5" channel every 4 ft. PLUS an 8" channel that runs across the back of the trailer!

This stock trailer has not weathered well.

You want something that will hold it's value.
Well, you've found it!
 
Finish
A stock trailer is the only trailer used in cattle production where corrosion from animal waste is a concern, it is a HUGE problem. Livestock waste is corrosive to steel and will make a stock trailer rust out faster than anything. 
 
Therefore, the finish on a stock trailer is CRITICAL and Galyean utilizes a finish that quite frankly, no one else is even capable of producing. 
 
Galyean has been building acid, chemical and fertilizer trailers for over 30 years. Can you imagine the protection that has to be put on those trailers? Well, they put the same finish on these stock trailers. 
 
The first step of the paint preparation process includes blasting the surface of the steel down to a near white finish with a STEEL grit blast process. This is followed by a 3 step acid wash and phosphorus solution rinse. This cleans and etches the steel to allow the paint to bond to the trailer better, creating a perfect seal. Then, they use the "world class" Dupont lmron paint process. Applying 46mm of high solids Epoxy paint followed by a superior Dupont lmron acrylic clear coat finish with added corrosion inhibitors to fight rust. The clear-coat provides excellent gloss and color retention and is much more resistant to rock chips and scratches than the standard non clear coated systems. 
 
In summary, just those two factors, the construction and finish means your trailer will still be operating long after your neighbor's trailer has gone to the scrapyard!
