hi guys james here from haze machinery and today we're going to show you the nugent livestock
trailer we've got here the twin axle 12 foot with sheet deck and here we've got the 14 foot tri-axle
with no deck so firstly i'm going to walk you around the trailer and show you about
all the feature benefits to come as standard with the nugent livestock trailer as with all
nugent trailers chassis is fully welded all the way through including the spring hangers so rather
than the spring hanger being bolted to the chassis it's welded so you don't get fatigue and ovaling
holes through the time like you do get with many other trailers and also as standard as with other
nuget trailers you get the parabolic equalizer which is the dual drive system patented by nugent
where you've got a shock absorber underneath the leaf spring which takes out your general
road noise and vibration and then another larger shock absorber above the leaf spring so if you're
going to throw any drains or potholes or something else unexpected it takes all the energy that comes
off of the road up through your wheel suspension through your trailer into your livestock or onto
your vehicle that you're towing it with so all nugent trailers come as standard with a spare
wheel which are 195 for 75 for 16s and that's the same on all the nugent livestock trailer range
right the way through fitted is the not standard hitch which is lockable on the front and the heavy
duty jockey wheel on the back it's on all tri-axle trailers they come as standard with the aluminium
mud guards all wet through which we think they look absolutely brilliant nice strong mud guard
if you do accidentally knock them they're easy to bend back into shape again whereas on the twin
axles they come as standard with a plastic mud guard but you can have the optional upgrade of the
aluminium mud guard if you require led lights all the way around the trailer including the reversing
light as standard with the 13-pin socket on the front of the trailer which can be adapted for the
seven pin if required but you do lose reversing light if you haven't got the 13 pin connector
along with the weld chassis all the way back through the trailer you've also got the welded
front hoop so your front hoop and your back hoop are actually welded to the chassis
so from where the leaf springs join on straight to the top of your roof is a fully
welded construction so if you've got your box on the back and your uprights like this when other
trailers you might notice that they get flex in them over time whereas the nutrient is welded in
the bottom on both the front and the back hoop so you don't get that fatigue over time part of
nugent's iconic design is their front vent flaps so i've got three flaps in front of this trailer
so these just literally unclip like so and pop up round and then you can clip them in from the top
ideal for letting ventilation into your livestock or being able to reduce the drag that you find
in your trailer from when it's behind your vehicle and also nutrients are split into three
so with it being split into three if you tow your livestock trailer behind your tractor on occasions
you'll find that the mud will flick up off the tractor wheels but with
the two outside ones closed you can still gain ventilation into
your livestock but stop all the mud and debris going into the back of the box
so even with the front vent flaps open you've got these solid bars through the
front here to stop any livestock getting out or any cows poking their heads through
so for uk standard to be able to have the vents on the side of the trailer all the way up through
is the nice good proper solid hinges and catches there to be able to do that obviously if you're
in southern ireland you don't need to have the vents or if you've just taken cattle you can
have the bottom vents closed in if required top access door and the bottom access drawer
as you'll see the nugent trailers and i'll show you again in a second inside
but you've got a two by two steel box going all the way around the outside of the trailer and
along the front panel so if there's any movement in from cattle inside the box
they're not forcing the sides all the time allowing the weakness and the rivets and
everything going through the trailer so that makes a massive difference for the strength of the
trailer you've got the welded front hoop welded back hoop then you've got this bar bolted from
the front to the back of the trailer creating a very strong rigid trail all the way around
so this here is a standard tail door which would come with your livestock trailer if you bought it
without decks as you can see it's just nice strong reinforced bars all the way down through with
aluminium planking going up through that that and then you've got your screw type latches here to be
able to do that up tight to be able to make sure that that's not going anywhere and that also stops
the rattle as well because it does that really nice and tight up against the back of the box as
opposed to the one with the decks in you can see it's very different on the back slightly bigger
sections here with holes cut out to save on weight but this is so that you've got the internal ramp
which then comes up so you can feed the top deck of your livestock box so let's take a look inside
you'll see from the nugent trailers that their load height is slightly
higher than most other trailers this gives a massive advantage especially when loading
sheep because as they're looking into the box they're looking into a flat surface
or flat earth surface rather than the steeper ramp on the back first bit of the tail ball it allows
you to get the sheep on there so you can drive them up to get them into the box a lot easier
so on the tail board with regards to the sheet decks you've also got recesses here
to be able to put your loading gates down into so they don't move in or out of the box
so going up into the cattle box 14 foot triaxial got plenty of head height in here you know i'm six
foot two and there's still another couple inches above my head here so nice lot of room in the back
of the box the boxes are also available in the seven foot high versions as well if you want to
load horses and then you can also get the center partition for the horses as well as an added extra
as standard all nutrient livestock boxes come with center partitions so with a cattle trailer
over 12 foot from 12 foot and 14 foot you'll get the standard parting gate with a trailer as
standard because it is a legal requirement and if you have the sheet decks you'll also get the lower
partition as standard and the top one all included with the decks but you can also buy an extra
parking gate if you wish so if you have a 14 foot box and you want to split into three
compartments you can always order another one to be able to put in the other partner and they
just simply open like this on the hinge and then go back around and fix around that way
or when it's in the center of the box you can pull that one around like so and you can clip it
into there and that's now nice and secure to be able to keep that back out of the way
so you move this gate wherever you want to up through for partitioning in the 14 foot you've got
six different slots all wet through and then the 12 foot you've got five slots all the way up
through and the 10 foot you've got four slots all the way up through all nugent livestock
trailers come as standard with a one-piece floor so from the back of the trailer to the front of
the trailer there's no joins or creases in the three millimeter aluminium checker plate that
adjoin or become misaligned over time or start to walk so one big sheet of checker plate all
the way through on all the trailers it's not going to be a demonstration of how the decks
go down and then back up again so the first job first of all pull your bolts out here
and you've got a clip here pull that up through there
and you can slide out that up over and take that to the back of the trailer
and then you can gain access to your bars in behind but slot out here like so
and then you just literally put them down like so and just lean them up on the side for now
on these the trough goes here as your deck comes down you can see it needs somewhere to sit the
other way around it wouldn't have anywhere to put that on just make sure that one goes the right
way around as you go clip your clips all back in again because you won't need them again now
until you fold the ramps back up again and they're out of the way for any livestock that are coming
in the trailer take one bar at a time spinning around and clipping that into each piece there
and then the final one you can put right in that bar can now not go anywhere so now with
all the bars in the diagonal position you've got plenty of room to maneuver around the trailer
i've seen plenty of people before put all these bars in place be at the front of the
trailer and have to crawl out underneath them normally hitting your back in this way it's
very easy to be able to get in and out of the trailer without having to be a trapeze artist
so now once you've got that bar in place you can then lift out your lynch pin on the front there
and on that again clipping the linchpins back in to keep them nice and safe and out of the way
and then that one folds down around like so and lands onto that front bar and now
you want to release the lynch pins on the side there pulling that one forward
and then just pulling it back a little bit and flipping your linchpin back in again
otherwise once that slides down you can't reach that one and then this one here again do the same
flipping a linchpin back in again and stepping over the bars going back through lift up your bars
and clip them in and they just literally slot into those recesses on the other side and then with
this one you do it with a trough facing inwards so your latch there so as you put that in you'll see
where that's got to sit with regards to the other deck you can now lower the left hand side down
like so again flipping a lynch pin back in again and then lower the right hand side down
let the decks down and then you can fold over your center piece
there we have your main decks all the way up through and then while you're here
clipping your linchpin and if you grab your top deck ramp
it's probably the fiddliest piece but you want to sort of put it in underneath your decks you've got
to start with pull it around like so slide it back into the hole on the left and then up over
and that will swap on there and you've got your pin then to go in there and keep all
that in place you fold that one up round and use the bolts to keep it in no wires cables chains
anything like that it is all nice and fixed firmly into the side of the trailer and then when you're
on this side of the ramp put some weight onto your ramp and lift up your catches fold them round
same on this side lift up that piece there fold that around
pop it back down again if you walk back off of the ramp
and then on the right hand side you'll find a clip there lift that up over to that bolt
now lock that ramp in place you can now safely walk up your ramp and to do so walk up across
it's not going anywhere it's all fixed in and you can then unbolt the top ramp
and drop that down like so all ready to drive your sheep up so to disassemble all your deck system is
exactly the same just in reverse so again walk up your ramp lift that up round clip that in
back down again reach the clip on the right hand side so facing downwards pull back up the ramp
always do that carefully leaning your weight forward
the ramp will go back down again you just got your two catches on each side so one catch on
each side and move back across now as firmly back in again you just let this one down around
like so and if you release your pin there on the right hand side
pop that out and just leave that hanging for a second and you want to pull that one
back across there and that will come up pull it back towards the back of the box and then on the
left you can then pull it out of the socket on the left and move that round to the side
of the trailer keep that stowed for now and then your main decks center bit again folds up over
and goes down release the linchpin then when you lift that up you should push that up like so
and clip your linchpin in and the same on this side plus the ramp up across
clip your linchpin down and you're now able to go up through
and again do exactly the same again just leaving them on the angle for now so you step over them
see many people before keep climbing in under them once they've done them it makes it very
much hard work but doing it like this save a lot of the pain and then your front deck just lifts up
and clips into the top there with the two lynch pins
and your front bar goes in there slots in there like so it goes down to the bottom
and you can spin around take the next bar off without having to step over anything
and with your rear cross member there's only one way that one can go in here
but it'd be pretty obvious when you come to do it
that goes in that there now if you grab your final ramp piece and this one slots in the
same way as it does on the back of the trailer there's no need to flip it round remove the pin
slot it in and up pop the pin back in again
and then your bolts at the bottom just locate into the side of the trailer
there you have you've got your trailer back to a cattle trailer again
that's pretty much the basics of the livestock trailers from nugent just to run through the
range that are available these style trailers here are available between 8 feet and 14 feet
and then they also do wheels inbound so rather than the wheels on the side they
do wheels underneath but they're not available with decks so it's just for cattle trailers and
then they also do the seven foot high versions of these so again if you want to put horses in them
you can get the partition for the middle or if you just need a little bit more height in your
trailer so if you're taller than me at six two like i said put about six four in the back of the
trailer which is plenty of room for most people but there we are that is pretty much the basic
to the trailer but if you've got any questions or queries please don't hesitate to give us a call
or visit our website for more information or come and have a look for yourself you know we're doing
lots of these trailers now they're being very very popular people like the strength of the nugent
trailer and the versatility of it and because of the draw drive system on the suspension people
loving how smooth they ride behind their vehicle any questions give us a shout thank you very much
you
