Each Helios Horsebox is a bespoke build with the highest quality parts, finish and workmanship. Our horse area finish has to be of the same high standard. For this reason we have replaced heavy rubber mats and kick sheet with Coat-X spray on protective coating. This gives us an unrivalled finish as well as total water proofing for both horse areas and ramps.
The reasons we use Coat-X (www.coat-x.co.uk) as a finish to coat the horse area and ramps are there are no seams or water ingress and it is chemical resistant. Each horsebox looks like new after each wash. We fit long drain tubes covered with Coat-X to take any water out of the horse area and past any chassis parts underneath the horsebox. These are not just holes drilled in the floor. Coat-X on our ramps has removed the need for capping around the edges of ramps. Horsebox ramps are often left open and water gets behind capping and edges rotting and swelling up. This is not the case with Coat-X spray-on protective coating. Because it is sprayed at a high temperature and water proof it completely seals all edges for the life of the horsebox. Helios horseboxes lead the way with unrivalled quality and practical horse area finish. We are so confident in the Coat-X finish we cover it as part of our 2 year warranty.

We spray Coat-X on many vehicles types from Ambulances to sound proofing on custom cars and the hardest thing is thinking of what we can spray next! We have used Coat-X as a coating in our horseboxes for many years and has stood the test of time looking like new after each outing. This is a tried and tested protective coating system that is also very versatile. It offers corrosion resistance, water proofing and sound proofing as well as abrasion protection. It easily stands the impact from metal horse shoes and this just proves how strong it really is. Coat-X is another area where we aim to excel.
