3-Horse Slant Load Bumper Pull Trailer: Easy Walk-On Loading

Our SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull eliminates the most common problem of bumper pull trailers of this particular size - limited access to your horses.  Often, with all three horses loaded, it can be difficult to access the front-most horse.  You end up unloading all horses just to get to one. The SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Trailer lets you load and unload each horse individually regardless of his position in the trailer. Side horse exit doors and ramps are just one of the customizable features that make our trailers safer and more convenient than other brands on the market.

SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Trailer for sale starts at $44,240.  Customize your trailer using the tools below.

Why Choose a SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull Trailer?

We emphasize horse safety and comfort by developing a functional and compact design that provides the best environment for your animals. There are numerous reasons why choosing our 3-horse slant bumper pull model is the right decision but we’ll focus on the six key benefits that both horses and owners appreciate the most.

  • Horse-Centric Safety Features
  • Stress-Free Loading and Unloading
  • Reverse Loading Configuration Option
  • Innovative Rear Tack Storage
  • Cleverly Designed Dressing Room for Your Convenience
  • Superior Towing Safety and Ease

1. Horse-Centric Safety Features

It’s all about prioritizing the well-being of your horses during transport. We’ve spent years developing new ways to enhance our horse-first comfort and safety policy further. All efforts paid off and our clients benefit from state-of-the-art construction methods, innovative materials, and highly effective combinations of horse-centric safety features, including numerous ventilation enhancements and patented innovations such as the SafeBump Roof System and the SafeKick Wall System.

Superior Ventilation and Visibility for a Relaxing Journey

The standard and optional trailer ventilation equipment available for the 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull trailer includes pop-up roof vents, stall fans, large drop-down windows with screens, and air conditioning. These perks allow for comfortable horse transport by providing fresh air and controlling the temperature inside the horse area. As a result, the cozy environment inside the trailer eliminates most major health risks related to horse transport. Plus, horses feel calm instead of confined thanks to the abundance of light coming in from the large windows.

SafeBump Roof and Z-Frame Technology for Temperature Regulation

The SafeBump Roof System is a Double D Trailers exclusive feature and a major competitive advantage. It’s a single-piece, fiber-composite structure with a seamless design that prevents leaks. It’s super flexible and durable, not to mention it lowers the trailer’s center of gravity, hence why it aids safe horse travel from a road safety point of view. 

SafeBump will absorb most of the energy generated in case a horse hits his head on the ceiling, thus preventing serious injuries. Unlike common all-aluminum roofs, the SafeBump alternative we use doesn’t conduct heat and therefore contributes to maintaining the right temperature inside the trailer.

Protective Padding and SafeKick Wall System for Injury Prevention

Our 3 horse slant bumper pull trailer benefits from another exclusive feature that’s on the standard equipment list: SafeKick Wall System. It comprises custom partitions with handmade 1” thick padding to protect your horse from bruises when they shift their weight. Their legs will be protected by a flexible material made of 95% plastic and 5% rubber. The rubber in these walls allows them to flex without cracking to protect your horses’ delicate legs.

Three interior dividers support your horses during travel with a bonus partition wall behind the final horse. This extra divider replaces a typical butt bar or chain found in most slant load trailers and protects you from being kicked when you are opening and closing the back door. The latches on these dividers are coated with a durable heavy-duty polymer plastic that will not rattle during travel, further increasing horse comfort.

Insulated Noise and Vibration for a Quiet Ride

For a truly quiet horse trailer, road noise and vibrations should be dampened or eliminated completely. Our 3 horse slant bumper pull trailer is designed to be very quiet on the road. We use the powerful 3M VHB chemical bonding system to secure the double-layer wall structure. It replaces noisy metal rivets found on most trailers that allow for squeaks and even cracks which result from increased vibrations, resulting in potential safety issues and costly repairs. The 3M bonding system eliminates such risks and allows for a much longer-lasting vehicle. 

A sturdy floor and grippy ramps allow horses to feel confident and in control when going in and out of the trailer or when it’s in motion. Solutions such as synthetic Rumber flooring or treated lumber are smart choices to make. They also prevent noise and heat transfer up from the road. These flooring options are much stronger, quieter, and cooler than the metal floors found on many other brands.

2. Stress-Free Loading and Unloading

Speaking of grippy floors which are essential for stress-free loading and are among the several “anxious loader” solutions, we’ve made sure that loading and unloading would never be a burden for horses and handlers thanks to innovations and solutions such as the SafeTack design, the walk-on/walk-off loading style, and the welcoming and bright horse area.

Innovative SafeTack Design for Anxious Loaders

Unlike most slant load horse trailers for sale, the SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Trailer has a wide open rear entryway for loading and unloading. This is possible due to a fully enclosed SafeTack storage unit that swings out like a second door. We’ve heard from many happy customers who tell us that this trailer design finally helped their anxious loaders load with ease. 

The clever SafeTack design combines the convenience of having a large enough tack space in the back with the privilege of a completely unobstructed rear entrance/exit point that’s much more inviting for horses who typically dislike narrow loading/unloading openings. The result is a stress-free process that’s much safer and straightforward.

Walk-On, Walk-Off Convenience with Gentle Sloping Ramps

Our SafeTack 3 horse slant load bumper pull model gives handlers immediate access to every horse without having to unload the rest, which is something any safe horse trailer should grant. This is further enhanced by our gently sloping ramps and side door options that make it easy for you to walk your horses on and walk them off the trailer without ever needing to back them up. Such a setup allows for any loading pattern or direction, making the trailer as versatile as it could be.

Bright, Airy, and Quiet Interior for a Calming Experience

As with any horse trailer, beautiful design and quality construction mean very little if your horse is not willing to step on board. That is why we’ve given careful consideration to the elements of a well-designed trailer that will appeal to your horse.

Horses can feel intimidated when they’re forced to enter a dark, uninviting space they find confining, which is why our SafeTack 3 Horse Bumper Pull Slant model boasts a white interior with plenty of natural light coming in from big enough windows and minimal rattling parts. A quiet and well-ventilated trailer will feel safer to a nervous horse resulting in less stress and fatigue while he travels. 

3. Reverse Loading Configuration Option

Unlike most 3-horse bumper pull trailers, the SafeTack 3-Horse Slant Bumper Pull allows for every loading configuration and travel orientation, hence why it serves as the perfect SafeTack reverse horse trailer. The optional side doors and ramps allow for this.

A major advantage of the side ramps is the possible reverse hauling orientation for your horses. Studies have shown that many horses travel with less stress and fatigue when they are facing a backward direction. Therefore, the SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull is the ideal solution for rear-facing horse transport. It allows horse owners to enjoy all the benefits of reverse hauling and retains its practicality because the functional horse area and loading or unloading entryways do not decrease the amount of space left for storage, tack, and dressing room.

Trailer Orientation That Promotes Equine Comfort

Research and studies such as Behavior of Untethered Horses during Vehicle Transport by Ryo Kusunose and Kyoko Torikai or the Journal of Veterinary Behavior suggest that the reverse load pattern results in reduced stress and improved safety for horses. 

These scientific researches involve plenty of experiments that clearly show rear-facing horses during transport feel calmer and enjoy better comfort. The same applies to horses traveling in slant load trailers, meaning that the reverse load slant layout is the ideal solution, as it not only reduces health risks for horses but also allows them to keep their balance better and thus experience less physical fatigue. 

Additional experiments and studies carried out by specialists such as Dr. Sharon Cregier have concluded that horses feel more confident and have better balance when they are facing away from the travel direction, which supports the rest of the cited studies. 

Quite often, horses experience stress even before the trailer starts moving because they’re forced to enter the trailer through a narrow opening or they need to back up for some reason. Our SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull model not only allows for a reverse slant load configuration but also provides the safest, most stress-free loading and unloading experience in any direction you please, without the need to back up any of the horses. This is possible thanks to the optional side doors and ramps but the biggest perk that allows for an effortless loading process is our swing-out SafeTack compartment.

Rear-Facing Stall Configuration with Double-Hinged Dividers for Easy Loading

Our trailers can come with double-hinged dividers so you can easily walk your horses on the side ramp and into a rear-facing stall. Then, all you need to do to offload is swing the divider over and walk your horse straight off the rear ramp. This true “walk-on, walk-off” configuration is a huge relief for horses who hate to back off of trailers and is a major component of stress-free horse travel. Even the most hesitant or stubborn horses won’t find walking into the trailer intimidating at all. 

4. Innovative Rear Tack Storage

To allow horses to effortlessly and calmly get inside the trailer and still provide proper horse trailer tack storage space, we created and patented a system that keeps the rear tack compartment and still - the swing-out SafeTack design. 

Revolutionary SafeTack Design

The name says it all: this clever addition that comes standard for all Double D Trailers models is meant to cover horse owners’ needs for a safe tack storage area. But there are more advantages to it that we’ll mention throughout this section. Some of them include three adjustable saddle racks, three bridle hooks, and the options of a blanket bar and a brush tray. 

Most bumper pull horse trailers come with a tack section mounted in the back that steals most of the rear entryway’s width, thus forcing horses to load through a narrow opening they’re never happy with. This is the primary obstacle that the SafeTack design removes for good, literally and figuratively speaking. 

Wide-Open Entryway for Stress-Free Loading

The most unique feature of the neatly designed, lockable SafeTack compartment is the mechanism that allows the entire compartment to swing to the side and completely open up the rear entryway. As a result, horses don’t have to squeeze through narrow openings and therefore do not hesitate to board the trailer. The floor of this tack area is fully enclosed so you can store additional items within.

5. Cleverly Designed Dressing Room for Your Convenience

The SafeTack 3 Horse Bumper Pull trailer is cleverly designed for both horses and horse owners. You will enjoy the front dressing room that’s the perfect spot to hide from the rain on wet days. The dressing room area boasts important horse trailer amenities as well, such as ample storage space, an extra door leading to the horse area, and a bundle of custom options to further personalize your dressing room and make it even more functional. 

Ample Storage Space for All Your Equipment

The dressing room storage space is enough to store your equipment and camping supplies. When you’re all done freshening up, you can walk through the handy interior door that leads from the dressing room directly back into the horse area. For longer weekends away, this feature allows you to use the entire trailer’s interior for storage and living space.

Customizable Options to Suit Your Needs

You can choose from several custom trailer options like a wall grid organizer or a storage hutch/bench to make the best use of this dressing room area. Air conditioning is another popular add-on feature that will turn your dressing room into a cool retreat on the hottest of summer days.

6. Superior Towing Safety and Ease

Thanks to a combination of factors such as great design, smart layout, lightweight yet strong materials, and modern fabrication methods, the 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull model offers ideal load distribution that’s essential for a safe towing experience. It allows for easier towing by decreasing tongue weight and therefore improving road safety. 

Designed For Effortless Towing

Our SafeTack 3 Horse Slant Bumper Pull Trailer makes efficient use of floor space on a shorter wheelbase than most straight-load models. The result is a more manageable trailer that offers better visibility on the road and enhanced towing safety. 

This trailer comes with an aerodynamic wedge nose design for more maneuverability. The load is expertly balanced resulting in a lighter tongue weight that can be handled by more vehicle hitches for safer hauling. This reduces the risk of excessive tongue weight that could lead to dangerous road situations such as poor steering or hitch failure. 

Equipped With Safety Features for Secure Hauling

The bumper pull hook-up assembly features an exceptionally strong 2 5/16” coupler ball with safety cables that will not drag on the road. This easy hook-up system allows you to tow with a variety of vehicles instead of being limited to the pick-up trucks that are needed for gooseneck models.

Do you want to check on your horses while driving? You can install an optional bulkhead window in the front of the trailer so you can see your horses. Or, better yet, install an on-board camera system with a video feed directly to your tow vehicle.

Best of all, we make it our business to help every client ensure that they are safely towing their trailer on the road. We’ve written extensively about towing safety topics to help you choose an appropriate vehicle to tow your new trailer.
