2025 Merritt Trailers Cattle Baron 20' 7' Wide
Toughness and quality are built into every Merritt trailer, and the Cattle Baron is no exception. As a leader in designing and manufacturing rugged and durable gooseneck trailers, Merritt knows that quality and dependability are the keys to its success. Merritt trailers are designed to stay on the road for multiple generations. As good-looking as they are strong, punch-side designs are the trailers of choice because of their smooth inside walls, lighter weight and better resale value.
Features may include:
Skid Plate- When a Gooseneck trailer is pulled across uneven terrain, the rear can drag, causing scraping that may push dirt and gravel into the subframe and damage cross members. To prevent this, Merritt welds a segmented skid plate across the rear of the bottom deck. This welded design provides enhanced durability and strength, offering superior protection compared to fastened options.
- Merritt’s movable gate is one of many gate options that allows the owner to designate the distances between the gates, allowing for custom compartment sizing. This floating gate travels from the fender well to the front of the trailer and can lock into every post.
- Merritt offers LED interior lighting to make sure you can safely see when operating after dark.
- Welded-in floors and a Merritt-designed 3" structural cross-member puts the material where you need it. This Merritt custom extrusion is used in large semis and has proven to be the strongest cross-member in the industry. Unlike riveted floors, welded-in floors do not vibrate loose over time and provide a very solid surface for your livestock. Our I-beam style cross-member will never “roll over” or flatten out over time. To build the best trailer, you have to build the best sub-structure, and Merritt continues to lead the industry in that area.
- Merritt’s Cattle Baron line comes standard with extruded winter posts, designed to support paneling along the sides of the trailer. This innovative feature provides your livestock with a more comfortable ride, reducing stress and helping to maintain a stable interior temperature, even in the coldest conditions.
