Comment: Read through all the linked information above. None of the sources meet the criteria. The first source is a blog so not a reliable source and the next three are press releases and/or paid placements which are not reliable nor independent, with the last two almost the exact same article. Not to mention trade publications generally cannot be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
Double D Trailers is an American company specializing in the design and manufacturing of horse trailers. Founded in 1997 by Brad Heath, the company is headquartered in North Carolina and is known for its focus on equine safety and trailer innovation.
History
[edit]Double D Trailers was established in 1997 as a custom horse trailer manufacturer aiming to address common safety concerns in equine transportation. Over the years, the company has introduced several proprietary features designed to enhance the safety and comfort of horses during transit.
Innovations
[edit]One of the company's notable contributions to trailer design is the development of the SafeTack® system. This patented design features a swing-out tack compartment, allowing for safer and more efficient loading and unloading of horses.[1]
In addition to the SafeTack system, Double D Trailers has incorporated other safety-focused features into their designs, such as the SafeBump roof system, which aims to protect horses' heads during travel, and the SafeKick wall system, designed to absorb impact and reduce injury risk.[2]
3D-Printed Trailer Initiative
[edit]In 2023, Double D Trailers announced plans to produce what it described as the world’s first 3D-printed horse trailer. The initiative aims to utilize large-scale additive manufacturing to produce trailers that are lighter, more durable, and environmentally friendly.[3][4]
Publications
[edit]Brad Heath, the founder of Double D Trailers, authored a book titled The Honest to Goodness Truth About Horse Trailers, which serves as a guide for horse owners on trailer safety and maintenance.[2]
