Designed specifically for the poultry industry. The Viking "Poultry Special" Drop Deck is a leader in poultry live transport trailers. Formed angles and nesting devices make cage placement safe and easy during loading and unloading. The formed angles provide an air space between the cages for air flow and prevent cage hang up during loading and unloading. Front and rear bulkheads provide added security for cage movement and panels can be added to block direct wind during transportation. Easy loading, easy cleaning, safely transporting more product from the farm. Capacity: (22 Cages) 80,000 lb. GVWR.
