CM horse trailers: Contract Manufacturer, L.L.C. began manufacturing trailers under the trade name CM Trailers in January of 1990. Founders Ronald and Kay Jackson saw a need within the industry for a quality built, economically priced trailer, that was also durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing; the Jacksons felt that they could produce a trailer to fill that gap. Today, the success of the company and the recognition and loyalty to the CM brand name testify to that fact.
Why buy a CM Horse or Stock Trailer?
Strength in the roof is important for overall strength of the trailer. That's why, on our steel trailers, we utilize 1" tubing set on 15" centers as well as corner gussets. Strength is built in to every CM trailer. On our aluminum exterior horse trailers, all exterior aluminum sheeting is .050 aluminum; additionally, the top is made from one piece .040 aluminum sheeting with 1 3/8" x 2" aluminum tubing bows. A trailer is only as good as its structure and support. Accordingly, CM's steel and aluminum exterior floor frames are built of structural grade angle iron and tubing. CM's horse and stock trailer floors are made of steel crossmembers and kiln dried pressure-treated lumber. The lumber and crossmembers are designed in a grid pattern for added strength and safety.
CM Trailer Safety
Tack and feed doors on CM horse and stock models are conveniently equipped with recessed latches for easy closing and a snug fit. This type of latch provides a smooth, safe exterior, eliminating the possibility of snagging tack or clothing. All tack and feed doors also feature a rubber edge trim to ensure a tighter, more secure fit. We concentrate on trimming out our horse and stock trailers in all areas, inside and out, to keep sharp edges from injuring people or animals. Other safety elements we utilize are pads on dividers, bars, walls, and rear door; door hold-backs; gravel guard; striker plates for slant dividers with slam latches; and weather sealing, just to name a few. *

CM Horse Trailers
Safety is a primary concern for us, and we show it. Throughout all of our trailers, in strategic spots, you'll find labels. These labels are not just for looks; they inform on proper care and maintenance, caution on improper loading and hauling actions, and warn of misuse consequences. CM trailers are equipped with an emergency breakaway switch for safety and peace of mind. This device is installed complete with battery and charger. If used properly, in the event of an accident where the trailer is dislodged from the ball, the breakaway switch will engage. This in turn will release the battery to activate the electric brakes, minimizing damage that may have occurred without such a device. For user hauling assurance, all trailers are equipped with safety chains and hooks that exceed DOT specifications in the lower 48 states.

Depending on the size and number of animals you're hauling, the region you live in, and the materials you prefer, CM gives you options: from the material (all steel, all aluminum, aluminum/steel), to load style (slant load, straight load, walk-thru, ramps), to pulls (bumper pull, gooseneck), to sizes (different widths, heights, lengths), and to a range of investment levels, CM trailers have whatever you need and want.
CM horse and stock trailers are eminently usable. But then, they have to be, because hauling horses and stock are ways of life. Our trailers feature removable rear center posts and swing away dividers to leave more room for loading moms and babies, as well as adjustable butt strap settings to accommodate all sizes.*
Style - One of the first things that you notice on a new trailer is its paint finish. At CM, we utilize a state-of-the-art finishing process that provides our trailers with a uniform, rich, glossy finish that is extremely eye-appealing.
Durability and Longevity - CM's aluminum exterior horse models feature bolt on fenders. If damaged, these fenders are easy to replace, which will keep the overall appearance of the trailer looking better, longer. On horse and stock steel models, rear doors and gates feature greasable exterior hinges to allow easy lubrication for increased life and reduced squeaking.
CM trailers are equipped with Dexter rubber torsion axles with greasable hubs for easy lubrication. Rubber torsion axles provide a better ride and longer life than leaf springs. In addition, there are no u-bolts, shackles, or equalizers that need to be maintained or replaced, which makes the axle near maintenance free. The hub also has grease zerks to allow easy lubrication of the bearings without dismantling the hub or removing the wheel.
All CM trailers have DOT approved lighting and conspicuity tape requirements. Our sealed taillights are water resistant and protected from corrosion, thus elongating the life span. Clearance lights are also sealed to protect from corrosion and have two elements for a long-lasting light. Side marker lights are placed on the fenders for added safety.
