Ramp and flooring checks as well as lubrication of moving parts. Brakes are cleaned and adjusted as required.

Motorised horseboxes should have a full body condition check annually and subject to the age and annual mileage, the engine and chassis requires servicing. We work locally with the main Peugeot dealer for engine and chassis service needs on all smaller horseboxes, although for vehicles which are no longer in the manufacturer’s warranty period we can offer non dealer options.

How long will a service take?

From around 3 hours for a twin axle. It will take longer for a triple axle.

Do you carry out MOT testing?

We can also arrange for all MOT work and testing to be undertaken.

What if replacement parts are needed?

We will call you to discuss any replacement parts or any issues we encounter.

All horse trailers should be serviced annually to ensure they remain safe for the transport of horses and meet all legal requirements under the various road transport regulations.
