The New Endura XD Trailers – up to 40′ Length

Large-scale livestock operations require trailers that deliver hauling capacity without sacrificing structural integrity or operational flexibility. The Endura XD series extends the proven Endura platform up to 40 feet, providing commercial haulers and show operations with the length and configuration options needed for high-volume livestock transport.

These trailers combine extended dimensions with heavy-duty axle packages and flexible door placement to address the specific loading and hauling requirements that standard-length trailers can’t accommodate.

Length Options for Commercial Loads

The XD series spans 28 to 40 feet, representing the longest trailers in the Endura lineup. This extended length handles larger animal counts per load or accommodates mixed livestock configurations requiring separation. Commercial operations reduce trips between locations, while show operations gain the capacity to transport complete breeding programs or multiple show strings in single hauls.

The additional footage translates directly into improved hauling economics for operations where per-trip costs matter.

Interior Height for Larger Animals

Interior heights reach 8 feet 8 inches in XD configurations, providing clearance for taller breeds and improving airflow throughout the trailer length. The increased vertical space reduces stress on animals during extended transport while maintaining the clearances needed for safe highway travel.

Higher ceilings also improve working conditions when loading, unloading, or managing animals inside the trailer.

Width Configurations

Available in 7-foot 6-inch and 8-foot 2-inch widths, the XD series matches different tow vehicle capabilities and operational requirements. The narrower configuration suits operations prioritizing manoeuvrability, while the wider option maximizes animal comfort and capacity within legal transport limits.

Heavy-Duty Axle Systems

Axle packages include dual 8,000-pound, triple 7,000-pound, triple 8,000-pound, dual 10,000-pound, and triple 10,000-pound configurations. Gross vehicle weight ratings reach 35,900 pounds on triple 10,000-pound setups, providing the capacity needed for fully-loaded commercial hauls without exceeding axle ratings or compromising braking performance.

The robust axle systems handle the weight distribution challenges inherent in long trailers carrying live cargo.

Flexible Door and Ramp Placement

Unlike standard livestock trailers with fixed door positions, the XD series allows multiple door and ramp openings positioned ahead of or behind the axles on either trailer side. This flexibility addresses the varied loading situations encountered across different facilities and animal types.

Operations can configure door placement to match existing infrastructure or specific animal handling protocols, reducing loading stress and improving operational efficiency.

Aggressive Tongue-and-Groove Flooring

The upgraded flooring features deeper traction patterns than standard configurations, providing improved footing that reduces slipping during animal movement. The tongue-and-groove design sits on 4-inch I-beams spaced at 12-inch centers, creating a floor structure that handles concentrated weight from larger animals without flexing.

This flooring combination addresses both immediate traction needs and long-term structural durability under commercial use.

Galvanized Corrosion Protection

Galvanized subframe and gooseneck A-frame construction resists the corrosion that typically occurs where road salt, moisture, and animal waste contact structural components. This protection extends trailer service life across climates where conventional steel construction shows premature deterioration.

The Endura XD series addresses the hauling requirements that exceed standard livestock trailer capabilities.
