Horse Trailer Dividers for Sale

1. Material – Aluminum horse trailer dividers are lighter than steel and resistant to rust and corrosion. This can be particularly important if you live in a humid climate and/or park your trailer outdoors.

2. Mounting Style – Determine how your trailer mounts its dividers. Does your trailer mount via hinges? Are they removable? Or does it mount using a track-based system? Compare these options prior to purchasing.

Replacing Your Horse Trailer Divider

There are instances when there is no question as to whether or not you need to replace your divider. However, there are also many times when individuals delay replacing their dividers longer than they should. Below are the three primary indicators that indicate it’s time to replace your divider:

1. When your divider has been damaged (bent, cracked, etc.), and compromised the structural integrity of your trailer.
2. When the hinges or latches on your divider have become so worn down that they will no longer provide adequate security for your horses.
3. When you wish to upgrade your older trailer with newer, safer components that will better meet your requirements.
4. When you purchased a pre-owned trailer that did not come equipped with internal dividers.

The importance of installing a properly fitting divider cannot be stressed enough. Not only does it prevent your horses from shifting around during transportation, thus reducing the stress caused to them and lowering the potential for injury; however, it also helps reduce the risk of accidents while transporting your horses. A properly fitting divider is typically easy to overlook until a problem arises.

Commonly Asked Questions Regarding Horse Trailer Dividers

Question: Will this divider fit my trailer? 

Answer: To determine if the divider you are considering will fit your trailer, measure both the interior width of your trailer and the height of the area where your divider currently resides. Next, note the location of each mounting point and then compare these measurements to the specifications provided for the product. If these measurements appear to align fairly close, contact us to confirm.

Question: Can I install a new divider myself? 

Answer: Yes, generally speaking. Most common hand tools will allow you to complete a basic swap. Be advised that certain older trailers or non-standard mounting systems may require welding or other custom hardware. Prior to attempting installation yourself, we recommend that you consult with a local trailer shop to identify any issues that could arise.

Question: Is this divider adjustable? 

Answer: No, dividers are designed to accommodate specific sizes and therefore, will not be adjustable. If you believe that your trailer dimensions deviate significantly from those listed for the product, it would be best to seek out another option.

Question: Why was aluminum selected over steel? 

Answer: While steel is inherently stronger per unit of weight than aluminum, aluminum is lighter and does not corrode as steel does. As such, aluminum has proven itself to be far superior in terms of durability and longevity in relation to moisture exposure for horse trailer usage. Additionally, when maintained properly, both materials perform equally well.
