The Portax K – the Choice of Veterinarians!
The Portax K is a wonderful trailer if you trailer alone. Easy to load your horse using either the ramp or step-up option. When you arrive, you can open your front ramp. Step into the trailer, attach your lead line and, drop the chest bar. Then simply walk your horse out the front. No more undoing the trailer tie and running to the rear of the trailer to unload. It is easier for a horse with a hind-end injury to walk off forward, than weight bear to back off a straight load trailer.
Portax K Features:
The Portax K model’s biggest feature is the front-walk-off ramp. Tack-up a single horse on the trailer by pushing aside the front panel, because the stall dividers hang from a central post. One full height groom door can be secured open when you are parked at an event. This creates an open and airy place for your horses to hang-out. You control the air flow using the sliding lateral windows, Roof Vent and a rear Storm Canvas with integrated Wind Screen. Side wall padding and chest bar padding are standard features. You can create the stall length you need for each individual horse you transport. 5′ ramp offers a lower incline for ramp entry and a horse can stand with all 4 feet on the same plane – makes for easy entry. Have a horse that shies from a ramp? Switch the ramp to a wing door creating a step-up entry.

Portax K – a Sturdy Trailer:
Built to last through Canadian Winters and summers! Portax models are made from Anodized Aluminum panel walls (internal air pocket as insulator). Anodizing prevents corrosion and pitting- no need to acid wash this trailer! Supported by a galvanized steel frame and chassis, the aluminum floor panels keep road heat from your horses. The independent braking system means your trailer constantly adjusts its speed to the tow vehicle’s. The elite WCF Suspension leaves the road chatter at the road.
And for You…
A swivel out saddle rack for both English & Western saddles that you can access from both sides of the trailer. An integrated coupler locks keep your trailer safe from theft. The coupler also swivels around your 2″ ball managing the torques of travel found on Canadian highways and back-country roads. A sporty trailer for any Rider!

Böckmann puts horses comfort first
Safety first for our horses with adjustable stall bars to ensure a comfortable stall fit. Added side wall pads, chest bar foam covers and bright white interior create a comfortable space. Smooth surfaces and rounded corners reduces opportunity for injury. Even the curved door handle designs reduce tangles with lead lines. Tinted pop-out windows, an optional roof vent + a built in wind screen increase air flow through the trailer.
Your horses balance themselves more easily and can clear their sinuses during transit because of lower trailer tie positions. Pop-out tinted windows protect horse’s eyes while bringing fresh air into the trailer. A patented external stall release system – MSS Safety System (MSS) keeps everyone safe in an Emergency.
The 5′ ramp provides a lower incline and a larger platform for a horse to stand with all 4 feet on the same plane. Patented rubber treading on the entry ramp to reduce slipping in rain and snow. This feature makes an easier entry and exit for young and old alike.
Built for longevity
Protected against rust and corrosion with the hot-dipped galvanized chassis frame and anodized aluminum extruded wall panels. Steel is galvanized or stainless. The roof is made of polyester which reduces total trailer weight. Polyester not only reflects the sun’s heat but it can be shaped to the latest in aerodynamic design.
Other trailer materials are also resistant to water. The aluminum plank flooring has a 20 yr Warranty ( since 2023). The floor planks are fully covered by rubber matting, glued to the floor and sealed to the walls. No mats to pull out and clean under.
Attention to fit and finish at every turn, Böckmann’s quality is hard to miss.
