Stock Trailer Panel Holders
Hauling cattle panels on the side of a livestock trailer isn’t a new idea, but this might be the first commercial product that does the job in a safe and secure way, says Landon Becker of Tonasket, Wash. He recently sent FARM SHOW photos of his new stock trailer panel holders that securely hold up to 4 cattle panels on the side of any livestock trailer.
    The panel holders are designed to accept up to 2-in. O.D. panel tubing and come with all the necessary mounting hardware.
    “Until now I’ve been selling these panel holders locally by word of mouth and by email,” says Becker. “As far as I know there’s nothing on the market like them. My brother-in-law came up with the idea because he needed a better way to haul 4 panels to a distant pasture.
    “Until now farmers have either a hired local fabrication shop to build panel mounting brackets, or built their own. However, there has been no way to space panels off the trailer so they don’t bang around and beat up the trailer as you’re going down the road. The lower panel mounting brackets in my kit keep your panels from lifting up and from moving either forward or backward.”
     The kit includes a pair of upper brackets that U-bolt to vertical posts on the trailer. Each bracket has a series of V-shaped saddles that support the panel’s top tube.
    The lower panel mounts use a pair of nylon cam straps to keep the bottom of the panels secure. The top of the strap attaches to a small C-shaped bracket that screws onto the trailer, while the bottom hooks into a small D-ring attached to the trailer. The operator pulls down on the straps to tighten them.

    “All the brackets come with a powder coated finish so they should hold up for a long time,” says Becker.
    A complete set of panel holders sells for $239 plus S&H.
