Featherlite Trailers’ new Model 8117 offers convenience through simplicity. The 8117 is a gooseneck livestock trailer, a “little brother” to Featherlite’s Model 8127. It comes standard with features such as treated wood floor, a full swing center gate with slam latch and a curbside door for convenient unloading.
The Model 8117 boasts the same high standards as any Featherlite trailer, from its aluminum alloy walls to its one piece roof. It also benefits from the pierce and roll technique Featherlite uses on the roof rivets. This technique is also used in the airline manufacturing industry to drastically reduce the chance of leaks.
