Hart Horse Trailers

The Difference
is in the Details!
Thirty Five Years Experience |
Manufacturing trailers since 1968, owners Anthony and Kay
Hart have personally over seen all aspects of HART Trailer
Manufacturing’s daily
operations, keeping their company on the leading edge with
the best personnel, equipment, tools, and techniques
available in the industry today.
Customization
Customization is what HART’s reputation is built on. A
reputation that has been rightfully earned with our more
than 35 year history of custom manufacturing. HART prides
itself in manufacturing trailers that fit the personal needs
and desires of their customers. The only limits to changing
and customizing HART Trailers are safety, structural
soundness, and your imagination. At HART, we are large
enough to have the available materials, knowledge,
equipment, technology and personnel, and yet small enough to
give the personal attention to details in order to
accomplish the most unusual of requests.
 A.
6” Radius Top Rail .125” thick
Welded and Cam-Bolted to full length 1” X 2.5” rectangular
tube.
B. Fully Insulated Roof
All HART roofs are 5/8” thick fiberglass reinforced
structural panels with a R3 thermal value for the ultimate
in temperature, quietness, and strength. The HART roof is a
structural grade polypropylene honeycomb core material with
a 1/16” layer of fiberglass resin and woven matting top and
bottom, finished on the top exposed surface with a gel coat.
The gel coat finish provides a high gloss panel, with
long-term protection built in. The “HART Honeycomb Core”
roof is 55% lighter in weight than the previously used
“Encore” roof. Additionally, it will not dent when subjected
to hail, tree limbs, or the occasional rank horse that
throws its head up into the ceiling. We use it at HART
because it is simply the very best material available for a
horse trailer roof. Besides we think you and your prized
livestock deserve it.
C. Interlocking Floor
Each flooring/cross member extrusion is tongue and grooved
along each edge, interlocking each flooring section together
creating the strongest flooring possible. By using an
6061-T6 aluminum extrusion for the flooring you get the best
corrosion resistance possible, unlike the common 3105
aluminum sheet alloys that are prone to sagging between
cross members, holding moisture, and corroding with time.
Also our flooring is .140” thick, 20% thicker than the
competitions standard .125” thick sheet floors. Greater
durability and longer life expectancy is the bottom line
benefit.
 D.
Solid Upright Posts
Solid upright posts on all HART Trailers. An easy way to
save money on trailer construction is to use c-shaped
upright posts in the wall structure. An average consumer
doesn’t notice the difference just by looking at the
trailer, but the difference becomes significant over the
long-term. At HART we do not use c-shaped upright posts
because they are only 2/3 as strong as rectangular tubing of
the same size. All HART Trailers have solid posts.
E. Heavy Duty Channel Type Doorjamb
Heavy-duty channel type door jamb and frame extrusions with
inset weather stripping, for an automotive fit. Inset
weather-stripping is not exposed
to the elements and cannot be pulled off the edge of the
door, like most of the competitors edge molding style
weather-stripping can.
Double Framed Doors
Double framed doors for unmatched strength and durability.
No other trailer manufacturer even comes close to matching
the HART Door System. Not only did HART pioneer the channel
type doorjamb system; all HART doors regardless of size have
an additional inner aluminum-tubing frame for rigidity and
strength. Oh by the way, we also fill all of our doors with
Styrofoam for insulation and sound deadening.
Heavy Duty Door Hinges
Door hinges on trailers are either a non-issue or a constant
aggravation. HART door hinges consist of ¼” thick wall
aluminum extrusion stock with pressed in stainless steel
caps, ½” diameter stainless steel hinge pin, with stainless
steel washer between upper & lower half to eliminate wear.
On all full height doors we use at least four hinges, for
longer life and to prevent sagging. However, regardless how
much care and effort we have put into this HART Trailer
feature, no one notices, and we like it that way.
 F.
Integrated Cross Members
Flooring cross members and floor decking are both integrated
into the same aluminum extrusion, forming a one piece
extrusion that gives you “I” beam cross members on 6”
centers, the closest spacing in the trailer industry. The
“I” beams on each outside edge of the extrusion are 2” tall
x ¼” thick and the center “I” beams are 3-½” tall and 1/8”
thick. This innovative design provides superior support and
protection for both cargo and trailer.
9” Full Perimeter Main-Frame
Aircraft grade aluminum unitized frame full length along the
entire trailer, floor and nose, making the gooseneck
structure an entrigal part of the trailer, rather than a
stuck on after thought. Entire mainframe to flooring joints
are continuously welded top and bottom to give you the
ultimate in strength and durability. All structural aluminum
extrusions are 6061 alloy with T6 temper to get the most
muscle per ounce, 46,000 p.s.i. structural strength, 22%
stronger than steel yet only 1/3 the weight.
• 46” Long Low Profile Gooseneck Hitch
46” long low profile gooseneck hitch assembly, painted and
mylar protected. Low profile design creates up to 10” more
usable interior gooseneck height. Hitch is framed with 4” x
3” x ¼” structural steel rectangular tubing and the
gooseneck stem is reinforced with a 1/8” thick 46” long
support gusset, the strongest hitch assembly in the
industry. Installed with 40 all stainless steel bolts.
• 5” Channel Aluminum A-Frame
5” channel aluminum a-frame on all bumper hitch models.
HART’s all aluminum tongue on bumper hitch models is an
interracial unitized part of the over all trailer frame, not
a steel added on part that will rust and need to be
repainted (except coupler). Stronger, lighter and corrosion
free, are all no cost benefits.
• Superior Axle Trolley Frame
Made of 4” x 3” x ¼” rectangular tubing and 5” x 3” x ¼”
structural angle, painted and mylar protected and installed
with stainless steel bolts, the foundation of every HART
Trailer.
• Contemporary Body Style
Tapered or dual radius nose caps, 5” radius rear, roof &
sides, rolled rocker panels or running boards, for the best
aerodynamics and appearance available anywhere.
• Rolled Rocker Panels
Rolled rocker panels or full-length running boards are
available on all HART Trailers. Rolled rocker panels cover
up all those unsightly structural fasteners along the bottom
rail and gooseneck structure as seen on the competitions
trailers. They also give your HART Trailer that aerodynamic
ground effects look and creates improved aerodynamics and
less wind drag. Or if you desire, the rocker panel
extrusions may be turned to a horizontal position creating
full length running boards down the sides of your HART
Trailer, providing easy access to feed and dressing room
doors.
• Radius Rear Corners
Radius rear corners simply create the very best looking
“rear end” in the industry! By using the same 5” radius
aluminum extrusion for the rear post as we use for the top
rail, not only do we have the strongest rear perimeter frame
available, we create the added benefit of reduced wind drag
on the rear of your Hart Trailer. No sharp corners at the
rear for horses or people either.
• Exterior Welding
Exterior welding on all HART Trailers has been minimized.
All but a very few exterior welds have been eliminated to
give you the smoothest, cleanest exterior possible. The few
exterior welds that are present are tig welded in order to
achieve the best appearance possible.
• Stainless Steel
Stainless steel bolts, hinge pins, divider latches, ramp
springs and striker plates, maintenance free and absolutely
no rust.
• Mylar Tape
Mylar tape between all aluminum to steel connection points
(axle trolley, jack, & hitch) eliminating galvanic
corrosion.
• Electrical Wiring
All electrical wiring runs overhead, encapsulated in a top
roof rail. Rubber mounted sealed beam tail lights, rubber
mounted sealed beam dome lights and dual bulb sealed beam
marker lights for long life and easy maintenance. And of
course, all D.O.T. required safety features are standard
equipment too.
• Rubber Ride Torsion Axles
“TORFLEX” rubber ride torsion axles by “DEXTER” are standard
on all HART Trailers. The “TORFLEX” suspension system
features progressive torque action and independent wheel
movement, to provide the maximum in shock absorption and
handling characteristics. Totally cushioned in rubber for a
smooth quiet ride. Low profile with maximum road clearance.
Plus, bearing protection has never been easier than with E-Z
lube, which allows grease to flow to both inner and outer
bearings for a complete repack, while still on the trailer.
“DEXTER” is the largest axle manufacturer in the United
States, because of their state of the art design and
continued commitment to quality and innovation. “TORFLEX”
axles with E-Z lube hubs provide optimum protection with
minimum maintenance, for peace of mind every mile of the
way!
• Radial Tires
Radial tires are standard equipment on all HART Trailers.
You put radial tires on your truck because they last longer,
have higher load capacities, roll easier, are more resistant
to road hazards, and they are simply safer. Why would
anybody put anything less on his or her trailer? Radial
tires are standard equipment on HART Trailers, because the
best shouldn’t cost you anything extra.
• Windows
Only the best windows are used on HART Trailers. Our windows
feature tinted automotive tempered safety glass, closed cell
foam seal tape behind the full perimeter frame and are
silicone sealed around the outer edge for a double seal.
• Couplers
All gooseneck trailers come standard with adjustable height
self-centering 2-5/16” couplers. The state of the art system
allows for easy hook up and proper leveling on most towing
vehicles. All bumper hitch trailers come with 2-5/16” high
capacity Hammerblow Bulldog couplers. These couplers feature
simple positive lock hook up and a 12,500-lb. capacity to
take the guesswork out and put peace of mind in your
trailering experience.
• Warranty
A five year limited warranty to the original purchaser
against defects in material and workmanship arising from
normal use on the superstructure consisting of the bottom
rails, side posts, roof rails, roof bows, hitch frame and
undercarriage frame. All other components manufactured by
HART Trailers that attach to the main trailer frame, such as
doors, gates, dividers or any other materials or parts are
warranted to the original purchaser against any defect in
materials and workmanship for one year from the date of
purchase.
