Elevated Horse Feed Troughs in Two Lengths
These elevated horse feed troughs offer a feeding area for grain and suitable rations with a steel support frame. Choose between the 5½-foot and 11-foot models to suit your stall or feeding-line layout. Each version has an approximately 8½-inch-deep trough and uses 1½-inch round, 16-gauge steel leg tubing.
For a combined grain-and-hay feeding arrangement, a compatible bolt-on hay rack is available separately. The hay rack is not included with the standard feed trough. Explore hay feeders for other configurations.
Horse Feed Trough Size Comparison
| Specification | 5½-foot trough | 11-foot trough |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder weight | Approx. 75 lb | Approx. 140 lb |
| Trough depth | 8½ inches | 8½ inches |
| Optional rack model | #140050 | #140011 |
| Optional rack weight | Approx. 74 lb | Approx. 109 lb |
Steel Frame and Feeding Dimensions
The trough's supporting legs use 1½-inch, 16-gauge round steel tubing. The current manufacturer information also lists a 25½-inch base width and approximately 39-inch leg spread. A 38-inch height appears in the supplied specifications, but it is unclear whether it refers to the trough assembly or optional rack. Confirm the installed height and clearance for your chosen combination before ordering rather than assuming both products share that measurement.
Optional Bolt-On Hay Rack
A compatible rack mounts with four bolts and provides an elevated hay-feeding area above the trough. Hay that drops from the rack may be caught by the lower feed trough, depending on how the animals feed and how the equipment is installed. Rack compatibility and mounting hardware should be confirmed for the selected feeder length.
The manufacturer references horse bunk feeder models #100052 and #10013 and sheep/goat bunk feeder models #100051 and #10012 in its rack compatibility information. These are reference model numbers, not a guarantee that every version accepts the same rack. The rack is described as one-piece construction, approximately 38 inches tall in the supplied information, and available in sizes corresponding to the two feeder lengths. Confirm the measurements and mounting requirements for the specific rack ordered.
Selecting a Horse Feeding Trough
Choose the 5½-foot trough when your feeding arrangement calls for a shorter run or restricted installation space. The 11-foot trough offers more continuous feeding frontage for larger areas. Consider the number of horses, their height and feeding behavior, and the space needed for safe access and maintenance.
The open trough can help keep feed raised above the ground. It should still be cleaned routinely to remove stale feed and moisture. If using an optional hay rack, monitor how much hay falls into the trough and remove spoiled material rather than allowing it to accumulate.
Placement, Assembly and Maintenance
Set the feeder on firm, reasonably level ground and check its stability before use. Inspect welds, legs and other connections regularly, especially if the trough is moved between feeding locations. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions for any optional rack and verify that all fasteners are correctly fitted.
Feeders and hay racks should be chosen with the animals' size and feeding conditions in mind. The available dimensions can guide planning, but suitability for a particular stall or feeding group depends on clearances, access, installation and day-to-day management.
Freight and Ordering Guidance
Both lengths require advance freight planning, particularly the 11-foot version. Contact Barn World before placing an order with the chosen trough length, whether you need the optional rack, your delivery ZIP code and available unloading equipment. We can help confirm the configuration and quote shipping for your location.
