Horsebox Air Suspension Systems

Air Suspension Systems designed for horseboxes    

If you are looking for a way to improve the stability of your 3.5t, 3.9t and 4.5t horsebox while on the road and reduce the sagging of the rear end of your vehicle when transporting heavy loads, you’ve come to the right place.

We have teamed up with one of the county’s leading suppliers of these systems, who are the professionals in this sector and distribute a wide selection of rear air suspensions systems for: Mercedes, VW, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Vauxhall and Ford vehicles.

The main and most important component of the air suspension system is the air-bag.  This is what provides the lift. Our air-bags are manufactured by one of the European sector leaders ‘Rubena’.

We offer our customers a 100% no air leak guarantee!

All of our products are made with high quality materials that comply with EU standard requirements. We are open to continual working relations with manufacturers of horse boxes, motor homes, trucks and all recovery van conversions. We can offer discounts on larger orders for long term contracts.

DESIGN & PERFORMANCE

Our air suspension brackets are individually designed for each different model of vehicle in the range. This allows the maximum use of any original chassis elements and suspension components during assembly.

Air suspension systems relieve the stress on the original suspension through the use of twin air-bags, inflated using a compressor. This inflation operation only takes about 30 seconds to full height, this significantly improves driving conditions and extends the life of the original suspension components of frequently heavily loaded vehicles.

The recommended pressure for our air-bags is between 2 to 6 bars of pressure.We have measured that using the maximum of 6 bars of pressure will allow the rear of the vehicle to rise by up to 3 inches.

Our air suspension kits are especially designed to be used for horseboxes.

Our air suspension kits are especially designed to be used for horseboxes.

Our system kit supplied includes a high performance 12v compressor, these are easily installed under the drivers seat in the cab thanks to their small size.

In addition we can also offer a double pressure gauge which are recommended for the separate inflation of each air bag for perfect balance if your horse is off centre.

Air Suspension For Horseboxes

* Our warranty does not cover mechanical faults such as collision, excessive burdening other than permissible mass. damages to impact air-bags caused by stones or other external factors.

Dramatic moment eight people worked together to rescue Diego the horse: Daily Mail

[Daily Mail] This is the dramatic moment eight people worked together to rescue a horse that was stuck in a pond.

The animal, named Diego, wandered down to the brown, murky water in the village of Shipley in West Sussex to have a drink.

But after cooling down, it found it was unable to climb up the pond’s steep grass bank.

The horse's owner is pictured with the animal after it was dragged on to a small ledge beside the bank. Image Daily Mail / SWNS.com

Its owner called the RSPCA after spotting the brown horse ‘stumbling and tripping’ as it desperately tried to escape from the water.

Two RSPCA officers then worked with six firefighters to rescue the animal last Wednesday afternoon.

The horse was rescued from a pond in the village of Shipley (pictured) in West Sussex, just off the A272

Leading Irish Horsewoman Has Horsebox Seized: The Irish Times

[The Irish Times] One of Ireland’s leading international horsewomen and a leading figure in dressage has told the High Court that her professional career has been jeopardised by the unlawful seizure of her only horse transporter in a dispute about a financial debt.

Horse box said to have cost €125,000 seized over disputed bill of more than €35,000

Colm Hennessy, for Anne-Marie Dunphy, Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny, said the horse box, which can transport seven horses and sleep three assistants, originally cost her €125,000 and had been seized on foot of a disputed service bill of more than €35,000.

He said Ms Dunphy, current pony dressage team manager for the Irish Equestrian Federation and sole selector of the Irish pony team, had left the Scania horsebox and animal transporter in for a mechanical service with Paul and Breda Doyle, directors of Deoval Limited, Knocknagee, Co Carlow.

She had paid a cheque for the service in preparation of its annual road-worthiness test but when she called to collect it on August 14th, she was given a bill for previous services totalling €35,594 and told she was not getting it back until something was done about the debt.

Mr Hennessy, for Ms Dunphy, told Ms Justice Bronagh O’Hanlon yesterday there was “an element of deceit in that the imposition of an alleged lien on the vehicle seemed to be calculated”.

Ms Dunphy told the court she had been horrified, shocked and upset when Ms Doyle presented her with “such an enormous bill”, claiming she would owe them €8,000 at most.

Despite an exchange of solicitors’ letters, the defendants had refused to return her vehicle and she was now at risk of losing her business, her reputation, sponsorship and clients.

BROWNIE…

BROWNIE – GREY GELDING

Green Papered Class 1 Connemara

14.2 hh

Age: 12 years

£8,350
Name of Horse: BROWNIE
Height: 14.2 hh
Breed: Connemara
Sex: Gelding
Colour: Grey
Location: South East
Owner: Lorraine Newman
Contact Number: 07796 488996

Brownie has been an absolute pleasure to own and work with, always giving 100%. He has taken Libby from jumping 90cms to 1.10m with scope to go on and recently jumped his first ‘Members’ cup.

Brownie works in a relaxed correct outline on the flat and has three uphill paces.

He has mainly competed in British Show Jumping with our team but has also taken part in Pony Club & School Teams as well and is an absolutely fantastic cross country pony, happily jumping all coloured, natural fences and water ditches etc., without any problems

Brownie delivers a lovely dressage test and is a true gentleman to hack out on his own or in company remaining totally calm, he is never strong.

He is good to shoe, clip, and for the dentist and he is fully up to date with vacs and physio

Very sadly for sale as Libby has now outgrown him and has also been concentrating on her GCSE’s

For us it is an extremely sad sale and an extra special competitive home is required for this talented little lad who would perfectly suit a child coming off 128’s or 138’s.

He would also make a top class pony club pony.
