Aeos 3.5 tonne horsebox for sale
Driving licence
The Aeos horsebox has been designed specifically to transport horses with only the requirement of a car driving licence. The Aeos horsebox range is very frugal with fuel and extremely quiet. They have anti-lock brakes and a very low centre of gravity making them very safe and easy to drive. They benefit from an amazing payload of 1.22 tonnes.
The Aeos horsebox name
The name Aeos like Helios is derived from Greek mythology. Helios was imagined as a handsome god crowned with the shining aureole of the sun. He drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day. Helios's chariot was drawn by four solar steeds, one of which was called Aeos.
The Aeos horsebox design
The new 3.5 tonne Aeos horsebox from Kevin Parker Horseboxes Ltd has been designed with a ‘safety first’ approach and many safety features are included as standard. For strength and lightness we use the same manufacturing techniques as in the Helios horsebox range, allowing us to boast a payload of 1.22 tonnes. For customers who have passed their tests before 1997 we can upgrade the payload to 1.62 tonnes making them even more versatile. We have based the design around the Peugeot Boxer, Vauxhall Movano and the Renault Master, 3.5 tonne chassis.
Aeos safety
For added safety we replace the standard vehicle wheels with brand new 18” aluminium rims with low profile tyres. This adds to the stability of the Aeos. The tyres are filled with Puncture Safe which is a unique tyre safety system that seals a puncture as it happens. For extra safety for your horses we include anti-weaver grills and secure tie rings. As an additional safety feature we use Coat-X, a Polyurea protective coating in the horse area and on the ramp. Coat-X provides increased grip for loading and transporting your horses. This product reduces weight and, being completely waterproof, enables owners to power wash the whole horse area and ramp safely and without any water ingress. As in the larger Helios horsebox range, we spray Coat-X in a light grey to make the horse area light and airy. We are so confident in the extra grip Coat-X provides, over rubber matting, that we commissioned an independent Slip test which rated the product at BS 7976-2 standard. Tests proved that Coat-X clearly provides an increased resistance to slipping.
