The Helios horsebox range manufactured with pride by a VBRA approved horsebox coachbuilder with over 30 years of manufacturing excellence. Some of the unique standard features on every Helios Horsebox include a full solar power system, Helios front bumper and lights, curved roof, aluminium based composite and our ground breaking Coat-X polyurea spray-on protective coating for the horse area and ramp. Other benefits, unlike most universal fibreglass parts our Helios fibreglass pod and full tilt cab system have been specifically designed for the Helios horsebox range. The curves of the luton pod flow into our unique curved roof system giving an internal height of 8’ 2” for the largest of horses. This stunning design also sets us apart from the boxy delivery wagon shape! Other advantages of the Helios design are an overall height of 11’ 3” and the height of the ramp at just 32.5”, making it extremely low and very easily loaded. As with all our ramps they have no heavy rubber matting or cappings around the outside to let water ingress. They can be closed easily without the need for heavy hydraulic rams and oil tanks. We spray Coat-X Polyurea protective coating in every horse area and on every ramp. This product alone is revolutionising the industry. It is proven to outperform rubber based sprays and heavy rubber mats and kick sheets. It is a fraction of the weight, totally waterproofs any horse area and ramp, stopping water and chemical cleaners rotting aluminium and steel chassis parts underneath. It can be steam cleaned and it does not degrade or distort with hot, cold or age. More importantly in tests Coat-X has more grip. Another great advantage of Coat-X is that we spray in a light grey making our horse areas inviting, light and airy with the added benefit of galvanised steel and a built in safety cage for the horses as standard. Our commercial spray shop department have over 30 years of paint experience in both the commercial vehicle and aerospace industries (military and commercial aircraft) and we spray parts at all stages of the build rather than just painting at the end of manufacturing.
Every Helios horsebox is a bespoke build and for this reason we can allocate the outside tack storage either in the living area or the horse area. From years of manufacturing experience we know customers already have a preference that suits their horses, so we have designed the Helios range to be very flexible. We are so confident in the quality of our builds that we give a two year warranty on every Helios horsebox. For many years we have include a 12 month test, full service, gas safety certificate, electrical installation safety certificate and weight certificate with each horsebox. We openly state the weights of our horseboxes (Standard Helios weighs just 4.7 tonnes!) and have a responsible attitude to what we produce. For this reason the longest Helios horsebox we build is 23’ overall length and can legally carry 3 horses and tack. With high fines and many prosecutions weight has become probably the single most important issue when buying a horsebox today and for this reason other builders are now following our lead, although still not posting weights!
Helios Horsebox Dimensions
All Helios horseboxes are stalled for the largest 18 hand horses with 8’ width and 8’ 2” high. The horse partitions move to fit any width horse. The length of the horse area and living divide can be specified by the customer. There are two sizes available, 20' 6" and 23' overall length. These can both be stalled for 2 or 3 horses and for horse transporters with no living area for 4 horses.
