What Makes the Portax E WCF Unique?
Portax E …”E” for Easy Access! Sporting two full height person doors – one on each side of the trailer – and an access door to the saddle cupboard from each side of the trailer, the Portax E just makes life easier! Add the versatility of the swinging stall panels that hang from the central post- allowing you to easily tack a horse on the trailer, add or remove shipping bandages or groom your horse – life gets simpler. The icing on the trailer cake is the ability to simply switch from a rear ramp entry to a step-up with the pull of a pin! Easy access all way round!
Apply an exclusive decor by Jan Künster to tailor your trailer to you. The entire trailer sits atop the elite WCF suspension, which keeps the road chatter where it belongs- at the level of the road, not bothering your horses legs. Use of suspension design from the automotive industry such as trailing arms, coil springs, rubber dampers and added gas shocks, sets Böckmann apart from other trailer brands. Added features for your horses include a roof vent to draw air into the trailer plus two sliding lateral windows and a rear storm canvas allowing you to adjust air flow. Side wall & divider panels are padded as are the chest bars, with trailer tie rings mounted at the chest bar bracket for ease of clearing sinuses – creating a comfortable travel stall. Hay net rings in the roof, a bright, wide airy horse stall with adjustable stall bar settings make the Portax E an easy ride for your horses!
Saddle storage is accessible from both sides of the trailer and offers a unique swivelling saddle rack, so you can access your saddles from either side of the trailer. Now a taller tack locker- there is even more room for your gear.
2 Telescopic adjustable saddle racks for English Saddles, hooks on each door, broom with telescopic handle, shovel and internal tack locker light. Need to tack your horse on the trailer? A new magnetic panel holder keeps the rear panel open to create more space while tacking up. Also convenient for loading the first horse!
