After we service and prepare each chassis it goes into our steel fabrication workshop and all the sub-frame and horse cage are fitted. Next it moves into our paint shop; the cab, engine, chassis and all steelwork is sprayed with 3 coats of oil resistant paint. After the Helios body is finished it goes back into the spray shop and the underside is painted again and the whole Underside is sprayed in Waxoyl before the outside of the box is sprayed.
Steel work and partitions are galvanised keeping a quality finish for the life of your horsebox.
On the same theme we use sealer glue on every part fitted to the horsebox, all rivets and screws are stainless steel and each hole is sealed before they are fitted.
In the past few years we have expanded our steel shop into a new building and took on more staff to meet demand. The expansion has given us the extra space needed to prepare chassis, build sub frames and lockers and fit the wiring before moving the build next door into the spray shop. After spraying the build is completed in the main workshop and then taken back into the spray shop for full external paintwork.
The new set up has enabled us to improve our quality, speed up our build times and keep between 4 and 5 boxes in build at any one time.
We have made many design improvements, such as the new rear light bar and the option of a top light bar with built in camera. Other improvements are the use of better quality paint, LED lighting, new electrical components and the options of solar panels.
As always, quality of build and customer care is our priority. Customers are emailed weekly with photographs of each stage of the build of their horsebox.
