Livestock Trucks

Cows, pigs, chickens, there are all kinds of livestock animals that need to go along in the livestock truck. And livestock transport requires separate trucks. In each case you have to take into account the type of animal you are transporting because, of course, a pig does not fit in the pen of a chicken. Do you already have a tractor? Then check out livestock semi trailers and livestock trailers. 

In the livestock trailer under good conditions 

Whether you choose a livestock truck from Scania, Iveco or Finkl, one thing is most important when it comes to livestock transport. Namely, that you transport the animals under the most optimal conditions. Not too many animals in the same truck that is way too hot or too cold. The less the animals are exposed to the weather conditions, the calmer they will arrive at their destination. No outside influences, but a calm ride is what you want to go for. 

Requirements for transporting livestock 

In order to transport livestock properly, there are certain requirements that your truck must meet. First, you must obviously hold a large driver's license because you will be driving a truck. If you are transporting livestock for longer than 8 hours, you will need a so-called VLD certificate (Transport of Livestock) that is valid for five years. For this, your livestock truck must meet certain requirements. These include protection against weather conditions, properly functioning air conditioning or heating when the body is closed and access to the animals.
