2013 Alum-Line 12’ Car
Trailer
This very lightly used 2013
Alum-Line car trailer came in recently for us to display
as a private sale. The owner custom ordered the
trailer to tow his Mini. After one or two trips,
someone took a liking to the Mini, it was sold and there
was no longer a need for this very nicely outfitted
trailer. It has a 12’ deck length and features an
aluminum chassis and extruded aluminum plank floor. It
rides on torsion axles and there are brakes on both
axles. The aluminum Star wheels are shod with radial
tires and the forward-mounted spare matches the others.
In addition to 6 heavy-duty recessed D-rings, it’s
equipped with L-Track and comes with a container of
L-Track rings for reconfigurable tie-down locations.
There’s a pair of stabilizer jacks that may be used in
front or rear positions. The fenders are quickly
removable to allow wide vehicles to be loaded. At 6’,
the slide-out ramps are longer than most. In
addition, the ramps are box section Aluminum Tread Plate
for strength and light weight and stow neatly in a
compartment at the rear of the trailer. The storage
compartment even has plastic or nylon rub strips so you
won’t have the screech of aluminum on aluminum as you
insert or remove the ramps. Thoughtful touches abound
on this trailer. Stop by and check it out!
Private sale on display at Traveled Lane. Asking
$4500.
Adam 2H Straight Load BP
– Wide & Tall & Very Clean!
This eye-catching 2009 Adam 2H
straight load came in recently as a trade-in. By our
tape, body width is an extra wide 6’8”, body height is
7’6” and body length is approximately 13.5’, which
includes the 3’ V-nose. The V-nose splits the air, but
it’s broad enough that it offers good space forward.
This one offers large-horse space inside and
easy-handling size outside. There’s a pair of windows on
each side and a vent over each stall for good
ventilation, an escape door on each side for easy entry
& exit and a head divider to keep them separated if they
don’t get along. Stall divider, walls, butt bars and
chest bars are all padded and the rear ramp has a very
effective spring assist. This one features aluminum skin
over a steel frame, torsion axles and radial tires
(including spare, which is tucked up in the nose out of
the weather). Stop by and check out this very nice, very
affordable and very roomy 2H straight load.
Asking $6300.
2010 Eclipse 2H Slant BP –
Extra Tall & 2 Ramps!
The term “lightly used” could have
been coined with this 2010 Eclipse in mind.
It came in recently for us to show as a private sale.
According to the owner, it’s never had a horse in it.
It was used to haul hay twice. Judging by
the absence of horse smells and the strong scent of hay,
sounds right to us. As the title indicates,
at 7’6” tall, this trailer is extra tall for a slant
load. It has front and rear ramps, so if you
want to unload the front horse, there’s no need to
unload the rear horse first. Body width is a
generous 6’8”. By our tape, the offset on
the front stall is 40” and on the rear stall it’s 42”,
so the stalls offer good width. Another
appealing feature is the swing-wall dressing room, which
lets you open it up to haul a load of hay (this use
already owner-tested), small tractor, etc. This
trailer has enough features that it rates a second page,
so

Private Sale on display at
Traveled Lane. Asking $8500.
2014 Merhow Aluma Star 2H
Straight Load with Compact DR – Loaded!
This Merhow has so many features and options it’s hard
to decide where to begin, but here goes… We recently
took this all-aluminum Merhow in trade on a new
Böckmann. If you want the convenience of tack space in
your trailer but don’t want to deal with the length of a
large dressing room trailer, this might be the trailer
for you. It has a warmblood-sized horse area, but with
the compact (yet well-equipped) dressing room, it’s not
much longer than a regular 2H bumper pull. By our tape,
body length is approximately 14.5 feet, with about 10’8”
devoted to the horse area. Body width is a generous 6’8”
and since we measure 7’4” to the lined & insulated
ceiling, body height is actually about 7’6”. The bright
& inviting horse area is lined & insulated. This trailer
has an abundance of windows, an escape door and running
board on each side, roof vents, fans and more.

Asking $11,900.
2003 Kingston Bedford
Warmblood-sized 2H Straight Load
This Kingston Bedford came in
recently for us to show as a private sale. As a Bedford,
it has the extra-wide 80” body width. Body length is
approximately 12’ and height is 7’5”, so it’s sized to
accommodate large horses. There’s plenty of space
forward, so even if you secure a tack trunk or other
items up there, there’s still plenty of working space.
As a Kingston, it’s solidly built, but at approximately
2700 lbs., it’s not super heavy. In typical Kingston
fashion, this Bedford is well equipped, with all-around
windows for great natural light and ventilation and a
wide escape door and running board on each side for
convenient entry & exit. Walls and stall divider are
padded and the butt bars have Kingston’s fast-action
latches to get you out of the kick zone quickly. There
are curtain doors with windows above the ramp and the
ramp has Kingston’s adjustable spring assist. Your
author checked the ramp lift effort while preparing this
writeup and found it to be very reasonable. For some, it
might even be considered a one-handed lift, but we
advise using both hands. The trailer has the patina of
use, but looks solid. Kingston’s a high-end, low-volume
producer and you don’t find many used Kingstons on the
market, particularly ones under $10,000. We invite you
to stop by and check out this nice Kingston Bedford. As
mentioned above, this is a Private Sale on
display at Traveled Lane. Asking $4950.
2016 Kingston Classic
Elite 2H Straight Load
This lightly-used Kingston Classic
Elite came in recently for us to display as a private
sale. The busy owner didn’t have much time
to use it, so rather than let it sit, she decided it
should go to a new home. As a Kingston
Classic, it features the aluminum frame introduced a few
years ago and as a Classic Elite, it has the Elite
trim-level goodies such as all-around windows, roof
vents, head divider and more. It’s a
warmblood-sized trailer with a bright, roomy and
inviting interior. There’s an easy-to-lift ramp
(with adjustable assist), radial tires, torsion axles,
LED running lights & more. Stop by and check
it out. Private Sale on display at
Traveled Lane. Asking $9900.
1999 Kingston Belvedere 2H Straight Load with Dressing
Room
As the subject line indicates, this
is a 1999 Kingston Belvedere, a 2H straight load with
room dressing room that came in for us to show as a
private sale. The owners were so pleased with the
service they got from this trailer that they recently
took delivery of a new Kingston Belvedere Classic.
The warmblood-sized horse area has an escape door and
running board on each side for convenient entry & exit,
it’s equipped with removable feeders and has plenty of
windows for light and ventilation. The spacious
dressing room has two folding saddle racks, several
bridle hooks, a curved clothing rod in the corner, a
roof vent and several windows. This one
features aluminum skin over a steel frame. It’s been
maintained, but we’d characterize the condition as fair.
Used Kingstons don’t often come on the market, so if
you’re looking for a Kingston at a fraction of the cost
of a new one, check out this one! Private
Sale on display at Traveled Lane. Asking $4900.
