BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer Overview

The Eco Series from BCI is designed to deliver the essential features livestock owners need at an approachable price. This 2023 BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer is a bumper pull model with a Ram 2 5/16″ coupler, so it hitches to a standard receiver hitch with the right ball.

At 6′ wide and 16′ long, the trailer is large enough to haul a small group of cattle, a load of sheep or goats, or a couple of horses, yet compact enough to maneuver through gates, around barns and into tight spots on the farm. Two 3,500 lb. Dexter axles with electric brakes provide reliable stopping power, and 225/75R15 tires on 15″ black modular wheels round out the running gear.

Inside, a center cut gate lets you split the trailer into two compartments, and a rear swing gate with slider makes loading and unloading flexible. Butterfly vents, 34″ solid sides and 1″ x 3″ tubing along the upper sides provide a good balance of protection and airflow.

Who This Trailer Is Built For

• Hobby farmers who need a dependable, affordable stock trailer
• 4-H and FFA families hauling livestock projects
• Horse owners who want a simple open stock trailer for short trips

Features of the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer

Center Cut Gate

One center cut gate divides the trailer into two compartments. Use it to separate animals by size, sex or owner, or to keep a calf apart from larger cattle during transport. Open it up when you need the full length of the trailer.

Rear Swing Gate with Slider

The rear swing gate opens fully for loading, while the built-in slider lets you open a smaller opening to load or unload one animal at a time. That control is especially useful when you are working cattle or loading animals that tend to rush the gate.

Front Side Escape Door

A front side escape door gives you a safe way out after moving animals to the front of the trailer. It is an important safety feature whenever you are working with livestock in a confined space.

34″ Solid Sides and Tubing

The lower 34″ of each side is solid, protecting animals’ legs and helping keep mud and road spray out. Above that, 1″ x 3″ tubing provides open space for ventilation and visibility, so you can check on animals while traveling.

Butterfly Vents

Butterfly vents give you extra control over airflow. Open them on warm days for more ventilation or close them in cold or wet weather to keep animals more comfortable.

Treated Yellow Pine Floor

The treated yellow pine floor is a traditional choice for stock trailers. It provides good traction for hooves, absorbs some shock and can be replaced board by board if it wears over time.

4″ Channel Wrap Tongue

A 4″ channel wrap tongue adds strength at the front of the trailer, where towing forces are concentrated.

Running Gear and Hitch

• Ram 2 5/16″ coupler for a secure connection to your hitch ball
• Top wind drop leg jack for easy hitching and unhitching
• Two 3,500 lb. Dexter axles with electric brakes
• 225/75R15 tires on 15″ black modular wheels
• Spare tire included

Dexter is a well-known name in trailer axles, and electric brakes on both axles help you stop with confidence when the trailer is loaded. The top wind drop leg jack makes it easier to raise the tongue and saves time when hooking up.

Blackout Package and Styling

The blackout package gives the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer a clean, modern look. Black modular wheels and black pin stripes add style without extra upkeep, so your trailer looks sharp on the road and at the sale barn.

What Can You Haul?

A 6′ x 16′ stock trailer is one of the most versatile sizes for small farms and ranches. Depending on the size of your animals, the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer can typically handle:

• A few head of cattle or several calves
• A group of sheep or goats
• Hogs headed to market or a show
• One or two horses for short trips

Always load according to the weight of your animals and stay within your trailer’s and truck’s ratings. Contact us for the trailer’s weight and capacity details.

Using the Center Cut Gate

The center cut gate is one of the most useful features on any stock trailer. Here are a few ways owners put it to work:

• Separate cows and calves so calves are not stepped on.
• Keep bulls apart from other cattle during transport.
• Haul animals for two different owners in one trip.
• Balance the load by placing animals in the front and rear compartments.

When you do not need it, swing the gate open to use the full 16′ length of the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer.

A Day on the Farm with the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer

Picture a busy morning moving calves to a new pasture. You back the trailer up to the pen, open the rear swing gate and guide the calves inside. The center cut gate keeps the first group in the front while you load the rest. With the slider, you can let a single calf in at a time when needed.

Later that week, the same trailer takes a few goats to the sale barn and a horse to the vet. The tubing sides and butterfly vents keep air moving, the Dexter axles and electric brakes give you confidence on the road and the blackout package keeps the trailer looking sharp. That is the kind of everyday versatility the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer is built for.

Eco Series: Value Without the Extras You Do Not Need

Not every livestock owner needs a fully loaded trailer with features they will rarely use. The Eco Series focuses on the essentials: a solid tongue, dependable Dexter axles with electric brakes, practical gates and good ventilation. That keeps the price approachable while still giving you a trailer that is built to work.

For small farms, hobby ranchers and families just getting started with livestock, the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer offers a smart balance of cost and capability. And because it covers the fundamentals well, the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer can serve as a reliable workhorse for years.

Hauling Horses in a Stock Trailer

Many horse owners use stock trailers for short trips to the vet, the farrier or a neighbor’s place. An open stock trailer offers plenty of airflow and lets horses see out, which some horses find calming. The center cut gate can separate two horses, and the rear swing gate with slider makes loading flexible.

For longer trips, consider your horse’s comfort, weather conditions and how often you will stop. If you plan to haul horses regularly, ask our team about how the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer compares with a dedicated horse trailer for your needs.

Loading Tips for Livestock

• Back the trailer squarely to your loading pen or chute to reduce gaps.
• Use the rear gate slider to control how many animals enter at once.
• Close the center cut gate once the front compartment is full.
• Use the front side escape door to exit safely after moving animals forward.
• Check that every gate and latch is secure before you pull out.

A calm, consistent loading routine reduces stress on animals and makes every haul smoother.

Caring for a Wood Floor Stock Trailer

A treated yellow pine floor is durable and easy to maintain with a little regular care. After every trip, clean out manure and bedding and let the floor dry completely. Inspect the boards a few times a year for soft spots or cracks, and replace any damaged boards promptly. Many owners also lift the floor area periodically to check the frame underneath. With simple routine care, the floor of the BCI 6×16 Eco Series Stock Trailer will serve you well for years.
