HORSE TRAILERS: Equipment details

When equipping horse trailers, the well-being of the horse is always Humbaur’s priority. We are aware that horse owners are particularly demanding when it comes to the quality of the means of transport for their beloved animal friend. That’s why you can expect the highest quality from idea to finished product with Humbaur horse trailers. 

Depending on requirements, we offer special features and additional components for our trailers that make travelling with a horse even safer and more comfortable. Here is an overview of the equipment details that promise comfort and safety when travelling.

Active driving safety

At Humbaur, the active safety of the horse trailer starts with the design. Thanks to the low centre of gravity by design, Humbaur trailers enjoy an impressively smooth ride – a bonus that has a positive effect on the horse’s well-being during transport. 

EquiDrive® 

With its hot-dip galvanised side member chassis, the Humbaur EquiDrive® body offers maximum stability and therefore maximum safety. The structurally low centre of gravity ensures a smooth ride – a bonus that has a positive effect on the horse’s well-being during transport.

When opening the trailer, only the chest bar or breeching bar is released from its fastening. All other parts remain fixed to the side wall. This significantly reduces the risk of injury to your horse.

Intuitive operation with no need for tools
The chest bar and breeching bar can be easily clicked into place in seconds. There is no need to mount or fix parts of the mechanism to the wall. The EquiGuard® is also maintenance-free and easy to clean.

EquiLock® lockable partition wall

The EquiLock® lockable partition wall offers absolute safety for your animal friends even when the tailgate is open. In emergency situations, the partition wall cannot be moved unintentionally as the locking mechanism effectively prevents the rear bars from being pushed upwards. This means that the partition wall cannot be prised out, even when the tailgate is open, which significantly reduces the risk of injury to horses in the trailer.

With the lever folded in when closed, you can lock and unlock the EquiLock® partition wall yourself without much effort and, of course, open it wide to make access easier.

Space quality and freedom of movement

EquiSpace®: safety and comfort 

The sophisticated Humbaur EquiSpace® interior concept ensures maximum space for the horses in the trailer during transport and is integrated as standard in many models.

The divided, padded and moulded chest and breech bars can be mounted individually at three different levels and depths. This means that the standing area in the trailer can be precisely adjusted from small to large horses. The proven locking system has been retained for safety reasons and in response to many customer requests. 

Standard in all models for transporting two horses.

Side kick plate  

The robust side kick guard protects the side walls from damage or rapid wear and tear caused by kicks from the horse. 
This is achieved through a construction of fibreglass mats manufactured according to our own patents, which are impregnated with polypropylene in a second step. The side step protection is therefore not only hard, but also resistant to moisture and chemicals. This ensures that dents and other damage to the side wall of the horse trailer can be safely avoided. If the step protection becomes worn, it is easy to replace.

Stable: AluBiComp – the floor that can do anything

In a trailer, the floor plate in particular has to withstand a lot. Dampness, temperature fluctuations, the weight and movements of horses – high quality is essential for a durable and safe solution. 
The Humbaur AluBiComp floor is not only moisture-resistant, but also increases the payload of your horse trailer thanks to its low weight (30% less than wood). Thanks to its sophisticated composite panel construction (two cover layers made of specially coated aluminium sheets with a polypropylene plastic core), it is rot-proof and non-malleable. This means that the AluBiComp floor can easily withstand highly concentrated loads from heavy horses (thickness 21 mm).

The AluBiComp floor is fitted as standard in all our aluminium horse trailers and all MAXIMUS® trailers. All other Humbaur horse trailers have the option to be equipped with the AluBiComp floor.

Wind deflector

The standard Humbaur wind deflector ensures draft-free ventilation and continuous air circulation. The fine-pored mesh allows the exchange of air and repels rainwater, as the perforations are smaller than water droplets. The water remains on the outside and flows downwards. The wind deflector is also equipped with an easy-roll system, so that it rolls up quickly and quietly when opened – the horses will not be startled by the roller blinds springing up. The fine pores of the mesh allow sufficient light through and guarantee a bright interior.

The Humbaur windflap offers draught-free interior ventilation thanks to the ventilation openings integrated into the all-polyester tailgate. Rainwater is diverted. The windflap is also equipped with a folding system, so that the integrated gas pressure dampers guarantee easy, one-handed opening and smooth sliding upwards and fixing.
