What Makes the Portax K WCF Unique?
Trailering alone is simple with the unique front walk-off ramp of the Portax K! Sporting one full height person door on the left side and front exit ramp to the right, accessing your horse could not be 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. 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! It is easy to see why this is the most popular Portax model sold in North America.
The new re-design has increased the internal space, provides a larger tack locker and a wider panoramic window positioned lower to reduce glare. A new magnetic stall panel holder assists keeps the rear panel to one side as you load your horse.
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 K an easy ride for your horses!
Saddle storage is accessible from the left side of the trailer and offers a unique swivel-out saddle rack, for both English or Western saddles (you choose). Hooks on the door, broom with telescopic handle, shovel, stool, crop holder and internal cupboard light complete the kit.
