Historic design and craftsmanship offered unfinished or stained. Pricing for unfinished.
Small wagon size offers big impact in historic design and beautiful detail. Express wagons were an integral part of the history of transportation and commerce. A versatile horse-drawn vehicle for the distribution of goods during the horse-drawn era, this wagon design was used to portray the quality of product and pride of the business ownership.
We equip our Light Duty Express Wagon with all the original designs and details of the original express wagons, such as a comfortable seat with risers, drop tailgate and flair boards. The "fifth wheel" on the running gear allows for short turns and the three elliptical leaf springs add comfort to the ride.
Roller bearing axles make for easy maintenance and rubber tires on sturdy wood wheels make for a quieter ride. Hand-forged hardware including a toe rail for driver support, reflect all the craftsmanship of the blacksmith era. Antique stain finish and hand painted lettering and striping available.
May be used with single horse or a team. If you would like information prior to purchase, call 605-996-8754.

Q&A
Question: How do you ship this vehicle to me?
Answer: We coordinate shipments of large freight items - such as our wagons, carriages, and coaches - within a network of private carriers so that your freight is safely transported to your destination without transfer. These are usually coordinated as partial loads in order to save costs, so it can take anywhere between 2 days to 2 weeks to find a ride. They will be transported in enclosed vans that vary from "U-Haul" size box vans to full 53' semi trailers. Contact us for more information and freight quotes. You may also arrange your own shipping through uship.com.
Question: How do I offload this vehicle at delivery?
Answer: If you have a delivery location with a loading dock available this is your best option. However, we can also deliver to any location that a semi-trailer can access. We then recommend coordination with a towing service to use a tilt-bed wrecker truck. The vehicle can be rolled off the trailer on to the bed of the wrecker truck and it will be tilted/lowered down to the ground from there.
