[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1744853, member: 16453"] Seems like there is 2 scenerios here, some the width of trailers for groups to walk on and the other more like an extension of the alley where they go single file. We don't use trailers much here, we put them on the back of trucks mostly so everyone has a loading ramp and they load single file. I just narrowed down my ramp at home here as it was too wide (what previous owner had) many would turn around. I narrowed it down to 800mm (31.5") which is the width our livestock transporters association recommends and have recently loaded a few groups of weaned calves plus a couple of heavy mature cows and I am very happy with it, nothing turned around and they loaded well. It is a bit wider than the working race but worked very well. Ken [/QUOTE]
