Featherlite – other models: the collective page for US aluminium trailers outside the named series, types from 4940 to 8581, kerb weight from 2,340 to 5,640 kg, length up to 13.30 m
This collective page covers Featherlite trailers that the register does not assign to a named series. Featherlite of Cresco, Iowa, has built aluminium trailers for horses, livestock and cargo, as well as car haulers, since the 1980s; the four-digit type designations such as 4940, 8400 and 8581 identify the manufacturer's respective model line.

The register lists 12 versions with a kerb weight of 2,340 to 5,640 kg and a permissible gross weight of 3,500 to 10,000 kg. Lengths range from 7.32 to 13.30 m, widths from 2.40 to 2.55 m – the span covers both compact trailers and long gooseneck versions.
The aluminium construction reduces kerb weight compared with similar steel trailers, increasing the possible payload at the same gross weight; it also lowers susceptibility to corrosion, which has made Featherlite a widely used brand in North American horse and livestock transport as well as for car haulers.
When buying used, check the aluminium frame and connection points for fatigue cracks and corrosion at contact points with steel parts such as axles and the coupling. On horse and livestock trailers, check the flooring and ventilation; on gooseneck trailers, check the condition of the kingpin plate. Axles, brakes and lighting follow common US standard parts and are available through the general accessories trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
