This lead to the demand for Wilson to produce an all aluminum gooseneck livestock trailer in a market where many of the manufacturers were already producing steel stock trailers . Wilson Trailer began producing their new aluminum gooseneck livestock trailers in the same factory using some of the same design principals as their sales-leading semi-sized livestock trailers . Utilizing riveted construction , Wilson ’ s new gooseneck trailer would be able to “ flex ” when moving livestock in and out of pastures . Under the same stresses , a welded steel or aluminum trailer would be prone to cracking their welds creating a need for expensive repairs . An aluminum trailer is much lighter than a steel trailer , which makes it easier to pull , and allows it to haul more payload . An aluminum trailer also resists rusting and eliminates the need for repainting .
