Platinum Hay Pod with Ladder

Description

available to ship.

We do not Install. 

Installation is fairly simple on the all aluminum hay racks manufactured by Platinum Manufacturing. They are constructed of aluminum tubing and a prepainted white aluminum skin on the sides. If the trailer is an all aluminum type trailer, we will weld this to the trailers existing roof rails and weld the ladder as well. If it is a steel trailer, we bolt both hay rack and ladder to the trailer.

Pods
Sometimes called a “Pod”, or “enclosed”, hay racks with lids. The bottom and lid are constructed at the same time to fit each other so lids can not be purchased separately nor can they be made to fit and existing open hay rack. Although they are not completely water proof, they do keep most of your items dry and you don’t have to worry about strapping these items down while transporting. These normally have small hydraulic cylinders on each side to hold the lid open while loading. Two latches hold lid closed and can be locked too. On the photos, you will also notice a tread plate landing mounted directly behind the pod (approximately 4’ deep) to walk on while loading your hay rack and a small rail around the perimeter of the walk way.

Ladders
Ladders are also constructed of aluminum tubing and are normally welded on the trailer in four places-two at the bottom and two on the top rail. On steel trailers, we bolt these ladders to the trailer at top and bottom. Ladder placement can be on either side of the trailer (curb side or street side) or on the rear tack door or horse compartment door. If placed on the side of an 8’ wide trailer, please note the ladder can not be as deep (not as much room for your feet). Due to DOT regulations, the ladder can not stick out further than the fenders, which are 102” wide.
