Helios horseboxes manufactured to order
The new design Helios horsebox is probably the lightest build on the market. Using the latest composite materials, the Helios horsebox is streamline, with excellent aerodynamics. The addition of the latest curved roof has moved us even further away from the shoe box shape that is the norm and really makes the Helios horsebox look fantastic from all angles. The curved roof, aerodynamic fibreglass pod and new front bumper from Kevin Parker Horseboxes Ltd have reduced wind noise and much improved fuel efficiency whilst making the Helios horsebox very distinctive . The standard 23' Helios horsebox, stalled for 3 horses, with full living, including toilet and shower, weighs just 4.9 tonnes and the ladies 20' 6" Helios horsebox, only 4.7 tonnes. At the end of each build the Helios horsebox is weighed at an independent weigh bridge and customers are supplied with a laminated weight ticket to keep with the log book and paper work, this has been our policy for over 3 years. We are still one of the few horsebox manufacturers who quote finished weights and provide proof. Designed, manufactured and sprayed in house, we have full control of quality and build times. We are so confident in our quality of materials and workmanship that we include a two year warranty on all bodywork at no extra cost. The lists below are for a standard Helios horsebox build. Thumbnail pictures of some Helios builds are at the bottom of the page. If you click any of these thumbnails they will open into large clear pictures, showing more detail and build quality.
