The structure :

  All FAUTRAS trailers are fitted with 3 safety roll bars (1 vertical rear bar, 1 horizontal bar and 1 central bar linking the 2 others). This aluminium and galvanised metal structure, fitted as a standard feature, prevents the deformation of the body and ensures its solidity.

  The floor :

  A rot-proof polyethylene floor (recycled water bottles) is installed as a standars feature on all the models of the brand. Biodegradation : 400 years in salt water. It absorbs vibration during transport and reduce temperature differences.

The bodywork :

It is entirely made of fibreglass (guaranteed without integrated wood) in order to remain lightweight, sturdy and durable. It is able to resist extremely violent impacts due to its shock-absorbing properties. Moreover, it can easily be repaired in an auto body shop.

All our trailers have a white roof in order to reduce temperature differences.

• UNLOADING THROUGH THE REAR EXIT :

When backing out the rear exit onto a ramp, horses tend to step aside when they no longer fell the side wall against then and may slip on the metallic edge of the ramp.

WITH THE UNLOADING WITHOUT BRIDGE : The horse unloads safely and is immediately in contact with the ground. Children can go down stairs backwards even before they can walk. Horses can do the same.

• UNLOADING THROUGH THE FRONT EXIT:

As front ramps are not lined up with the horse's exit path, they may be an obstacle to unloading.

Many horses tend to jump over it and risk injuring themselves on the edge of the ramp.

WITH THE UNLOADING WITHOUT BIDGE : The width of the exit and small step ensure quiet and safe unloading without any obstacles

   To offer more comfort for your horses, slant load trailers are recommended.These put less strain on horses in bends and provide more space for them to move their legs apart and balance themselves (as they do not have a wall alongside their body as in straight load trailers). In this position, they also avoid touching each other's hooves.

• 1- THE FLEXIBLE PARTITIONFAUTRAS TECH^TM

Traditional rigid partitions restrict horses to a limited space : without enough space to balance themselves in bends, many horses panic.

By eliminating rigid support points, the FAUTRAS TECH™ flexible partition gives horses a feeling of space and tranquillises them. Thus, they are able to keep heir balance and handle bends and roundabouts much better.

Moreover the FAUTRAS TECH™ partition is extremely sturdy and lightweight.  Any rider can remove it alone in a few seconds and transform their trailer.

• 2- THE SAFE RELEASE^TM

The Safe Release^TM  - European patent - makes the loading and unloading process safer. Due to the snap hook, the rear strap can be hooked into place quickly while avoiding being kicked.

Combined with the traditional rear guard, this provides a double security during loading and unloading.

Simply pulling on the handle at the front of the trailer releases the rear strap : one person alone can thus unload their horse safely.

• 3- THE AID SYSTEM^TM

Loading is always a tricky operation when you are alone. Indeed, tying your horse up before securing the rear guard or letting go of the horse in order to secure the guard  are both risky options. Moreover, even fitting the guard into place may be tricky if the horse has a tendency to kick.

The AID SystemTM is a unique system enabling one person alone to safely load and unload their horses. The rear guard opens and closes from the front of the trailer : thus all operations are carried out while remaining at the front of the horses.

This innovation earned FAUTRAS a double Innovation Trophy at the Salon du cheval de Paris 2007 :  Jury Prize and Audience Award.

• 1 - THE SAFETY BREAST BAR
  

The breast bar is fitted with a safety system and is released from the outside using the safety loop (therefore reducing panic and accident risks for your horse). Once triggered, the bar is reusable : it can be put back into place in a few seconds without needing replacement.
