Intro

The Portax series is one of Böckmann's robust anodized aluminum class. Created for horses up to 1.85m/18hands, the Portax design offers features that the other Böckmann series do not. A front panoramic window, roof vents, and lateral sliding side windows offer an open and airy design with lots of natural light.

The Portax Series has the elite WCF Suspension as a standard feature, along with the Door-ramp combination - offering a quick switch between ramp load and swing door for stepping in horses, or moving items like hay bales or shavings with a farm loader. Unique saddle storage features are found in each of the Portax E, Portax K and the new Portax SKA models.

Well protected by the anodization process, the Portax models offer a traditional horse trailer with full "person" height groom doors, or a model with both a rear loading and front off-loading ramp, with all the standard safety features for horse and rider. The polyester portions of the trailers (roof and front bow) come in a standard silver colour. Other standard polyester colours available include of deep orange, flame red, magenta, royal blue, yellow-green(bright lime), yellow or white; or metallic colours of red, dark blue, green & black/anthracite. Other colours may be ordered, at a surcharge.

You can choose between models with or without the front off-ramp. Your choice of saddle storage options for both English and Western tack- small or full height cupboards - or an entire anteroom, found in two models- a small anteroom in the Portax LSR or a larger one in the Big Portax.

The Portax L Series provides the Rider with 65cm/26" more floor space- allowing room to change apparel, store hay bales, or work with your horse. The extended versions of the 4 standard Portax models provides the flexibility the Rider of today seeks. The Portax L series has been designed for the SUV that can tow 2500kg or 5500lbs.

Construction

Chassis, Body, Interior

Chassis:

Built from hot-dipped galvanized steel chassis, the Portax rides on the superior WCF Suspension- an independent torsion suspension with a coil spring, rubber dampers, independent swing arms and added shocks for the smoothest ride for the horse. An automatic jockey wheel mounted on an integrated lockable 2" coupler allows the rider to easily raise or lower the chassis frame for hitching purposes and moving the trailer by hand around the yard.

Body:

Anodized aluminum web profile panel side walls - 2100 mm high - always a silver finish-topped with a metallic silver roof. Different roof colours are available (accessory). The rear loading ramp is a full 5' in length with gas shocks as lifting assists. Two steps on rear ramp allows you to step up and control the canvas lift with integrated net. Böckmann anodized aluminum flooring provides strength and longevity. The trailer front is wedge shape with a polyester front bow which holds the saddle storage area. Each model offers Groom/Escape door(s) in the horse stall area and unique saddle storage areas from small cupboards to large anterooms.

Panoramic front window, lateral sliding windows, and roof vent provide lots of light, and air flow control. Single black plastic fenders complete the look. All trailers for North America come with a mounted full spare wheel, and wheel chocks.
