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, allowing you to see your horse and your horse to see you! Roof vents, external tie bars that are integral to the trailer design as standard - an open and airy design with lots of natural light.
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 and front loading ramp, with all the standard safety features for horse and rider. The fibreglass portions of the trailers (roof and front bow) come in a standard silver colour. Other fibreglass colours are available in RAL colours of matte red or white; or metallic RAL colours of red, navy, blue, green, black, silver and brown. Other RAL colours may be ordered, at a surcharge.
You can choose between models with only rear loading or units with the front off-ramp, either with or without tack storage.

A sleek way to transport your horses!
Built from hot-dipped galvanized steel chassis, the Portax A rides on the Comfortable Suspension Chassis System (CFF- Plus) - an independent torsion suspension with added shocks for a smooth 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.
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. A step on rear ramp allows you to step up and control the canvas lift with integrated net. Böckmann anodized aluminum flooring provide strength and longevity. The trailer front is wedge shape with a fiberglass front bow which holds the saddle storage area. A full height groom door on the curb-side (optional second door on the road side). Panoramic front window, lateral sliding windows, and roof vent provide lots of light, and air flow control. Single plastic fenders and external tie bars on each wall completes the look. All trailers for North America come with a mounted full spare wheel
The inner stall offers padded walls and a bright white roof colour. The rubber flooring is glued and sealed to the aluminum floor beneath. The loading ramp is covered with rubber integrated safety treads and side stops - preventing slipping in inclement weather. The Multi-Safe stall bar system + anti-panic stall system allows you to adjust height of the stall bars and the length of the stall. In an emergency the chest and rear bars can be released from outside the trailer. The chest bars have additional foam black bar padding. The transparent PVC partition is mounted on tubular galvanized steel, and is easily swiveled left or right to accommodate a more open stall space for loading. Interior lighting is found in both the stall area and tack storage. Black lateral kick plates complete the inside stall walls.
The Saddle chest contains 2 telescopic saddle racks suitable for English saddles, hooks, a net on the door, a broom with telescopic handle and a plastic shovel.
