BUILT ON FORTAFRAME™

FortaFrame™ is the frame every Double D Trailer was built on from 1997 to 2008. It's built strong like a fortress, and more than a thousand of those trailers are still on the road today. The SafeTack® Essential brings it back, at a price that reflects simpler construction and no compromise in what matters most for the safety of horse and handler.

And it's lighter than you might think: a SafeTack® Essential typically weighs within about 5% of a comparably equipped, well-built aluminum trailer.

WHY THE ESSENTIAL COSTS LESS

Same SafeTack® design. The difference is in how it's built:

  • A durable rubber-lined kick wall in the horse area, instead of our full-height insulated SafeKick wall system.
  • Galvalite roof panels instead of our one-piece, no-seam SafeBump roof.
  • Four proven layouts with fewer customizations, instead of a fully custom build.
