Solar charging and our green Credentials

Our philosophy has always been one of innovation along with incorporating the latest technology whilst maintaining reliability for each Helios horsebox. One example where we are leading the way again is our full solar charging system. This is now fitted as standard to the Helios range. The system is maintenance free and the quality panels and charge regulator have been thoroughly tested over many years. This is not a token system to tick boxes, but rather a complete charging system powerful enough to run all the LED lights and keep the batteries topped up. The solar panels are so efficient they charge even on the dullest of days, keeping the batteries topped up all year around. The solar controller features the latest PWM charge regulation for reliable and economical battery charge control including over charge protection.
We have embraced this technology from the very start and could clearly see the benefits for our Helios horsebox design. We are so committed to this technology we have liaised with a major solar panel manufacturer to introduce the next generation of flexible solar panels on our latest Helios horsebox range. As a side note, we run the same solar technology in our own home with a 4 kilowatt system.

Since the introduction of LED lights we have fitted low power LED lights to all our horseboxes. These use a fraction of power of conventional lights. In addition they benefit from long service life as there are no bulbs, just diodes.

We fit low power consumption fridges and flat screen LED TV/DVD players. What this means to our customer is longer stays away at shows without having to start generators or plug in to the mains to charge auxiliary batteries.

As a manufacturer we have a responsibility to the environment and to this end we use the latest VOC compliant paints. All our waste paint and thinners are registered for the VOC content and are collected for safe disposal.

All our chassis for sale are Euro IV or higher for emissions and we even run the latest hybrid technology in our works Toyota Prius.
