Ifor Williams
Trailers
Insafehands
Since 1958, people have put their trust in our trailers, just ask an owner - they’re not difficult to find. As specialists in trailer design and engineering, we have continued to set the standard both in the UK and throughout much of Europe. We are an independent company with one focus: to build the best products on the market. More than 25,000 people choose our trailers each year - but we’re not standing still. Our dedicated investment in new technologies and materials ensures that our products continue to exceed the expectations of our customers. We know that quality, strength, value and ease of maintenance are of vital importance to you. That’s why we’ve made them the driving force behind everything we do.
Ifor Williams
Livestock Trailers
Located in rural North Wales, we have grown up in the agricultural community, employing local people with farming links. Our unique understanding of the industry allows us to deliver the highest quality products and contribute to the protection of this precious way of life. Take a look at any of the features of our livestock trailers. You’ll find that practicality, safety and reliability are paramount to us.
Flexibility
From the smallest P6e to the largest 14’ tri axle, Ifor Williams Trailers have something to meet the demands of most livestock farmers. From sheep and pigs to heifers and prize bulls we have the trailer for the job. Our renowned EasyLoadTMsheep deck system has never been bettered by the competition making Ifor Williams the leader in livestock trailers in the UK.
Built to last
The galvanized steel chassis and drawbar offer unbeatable corrosion protection. Couple this with the high strength, impact-resistant aluminium side panels, these trailers will often outlast the vehicles that tow them. The distinctive steel roof channels on braked models give a strong and rigid frame. The flooring on these trailers comprises of thick pressure treated timber planking protected by 2mm thick slip resistant aluminium treadplate.
Stability when towing
All of our braked trailers feature the exclusive Ifor Williams beam axle and leaf spring suspension system which has been developed and refined for a safe and stable ride. Similar systems are widely used on commercial vehicles where performance under load is essential. Renowned for its durability and ease of maintenance the Ifor Williams beam axle system contributes significantly to the low depreciation of our trailers.
DP120 10’ (6’ headroom) standard ramp
P6e Livestock version (750kg)
P6e Unbraked
Livestock Trailer
The P6e is a small trailer with outstanding flexibility both on and off road. Light enough to be towed by a quad bike, it can be used for moving sheep or calves around the farm on short off-road journeys. With the canopy removed, the P6e becomes a general utility trailer for carrying feed, fertiliser and other goods.
The optional welded mesh side panels are invaluable when carrying large bulky objects such as wool, branches and firewood. The smallest trailer in our livestock range, the P6e has a floor area of 1.21m x
1.98m (4’x 6’6” approx.) and a maximum gross weight of either 500 or 750kg.
With the axle, drawbar and body panels constructed from hot-dipped galvanized steel, this trailer provides the same built-in quality and durability as all other Ifor Williams trailers. This is also true of the 18mm thick high density plywood platform with a tough, water-proof resin coating on both sides. A factory fitted option of 2mm aluminium treadplate overlay is available. The loading ramp is panelled in 2mm thick slip resistant aluminium treadplate.
A single axle (rubber torsion type) is fitted with a choice of either 145R10 (500kg gross weight) or
20.5 x 8-10 (750kg gross weight) flotation tyres. The P6e livestock version includes aluminium ramp
gates, ventilation louvres in the front of the canopy and fixing points for the optional cross division. Other standard features include:
• Spare wheel and carrier
• 50mm ball coupling
• Safety chain
• Front prop stand
• Rope hooks
• Impact resistant plastic mudguards
• Aluminium / steel loading ramps

Conventional loading
Decks neatly stowed away. In this mode the trailer can be used as conventional livestock trailer suitable for cattle and other larger livestock. Rear barrier, deck supports and front deck leaf are all stowed neatly against the front panel.
With the deck system folded away the trailer is suitable for use with cattle and other livestock. All components are stored on board the trailer and are conveniently and safely stowed for quick access. When required the deck can be deployed or stowed within a few minutes without the need for any tools or special equipment.
With the decks deployed the EasyLoadTMramp can be operated, lifting easily into position, assisted by way of two gas springs. This requires little effort from the operator and stowage is just as effortless. Utilising the weight of the operator the ramp lowers and is simply locked in place.
The EasyLoadTMramp is used in conjunction with the folding deck system and must be specified at time of order.
Unique to Ifor Williams the factory fitted EasyLoadTMramp and folding deck system simplifies the loading of the upper deck without the need to manhandle ramps or livestock.

Each trailer is fitted with an ID plate which has a unique serial number etched on it. Additionally, the drawbar (except P6e, P6 & P8) has a different unique number cut through it, which is virtually impossible to alter without noticeably affecting the appearance of the numbers and galvanized finish.
The transport of animals is subject to The Welfare of Animals (Transport) Order 1997. For further details please contact your local DEFRA (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) representative or visit their website: www.defra.gov.uk
