Description
The HB511 with Front Ramp is a traditionally styled aluminium composite body with front ramp two berth horsebox that accommodates horses up to 17.2hh. The front ramp, fitted on the right-hand side, allows the option of offloading forwards for horses that are a little nervous in reverse, or in a case where offloading from the rear is not possible.
The Ifor Williams HB Series is the epitome of practicality in horse transport, blending innovative design, cutting-edge materials, and top-tier comfort. Specifically tailored for those who demand reliability and practicality, the HB511 provides exceptional safety, ease of use, and a stress-free experience for both horses and handlers.
The chassis is a welded steel, hot-dipped and galvanised construction for longevity in all conditions, and the aluminium framed body with aluminium composite paneling makes for a robust yet light trailer.
Ifor Williams boast the Parabolic Leaf Spring Suspension system, providing an exceptionally comfortable ride for your horse. South African driven and approved, rutted gravel roads and all!
Sliding windows provide great ventilation when in transit and parked. Both the windows and top open door (fitted on the ramp side) give horses great visibility to their surrounds while waiting to offload. The large top door at the front should be closed in transit.
The rear top doors look neat when open and closed, providing ample airflow when in transit for long periods. Closing them when parked provides a little extra security and assists with keeping the interior clean.
A large inspection door allows easy-access for grass and water checks during transit. The door is lockable from the inside and the outside with a key.
Stalls are adjustable in both length and height by repositioning the front and rear breach bars, allowing a personalised fit for horses and ponies. Travel various sizes at once with confidence. The overall height of 2.75m and stall width of 0.89m comfortably accommodates horses up to 17.2hh (approximately 1.78m tall).
The HB’s ramp has a low angle when opened and a high grip rubber mat to give horses confidence when loading. Users love the ramp for its solid stature, yet it is so light to lift thanks to gas-assisted mechanisms.
The front ramp, set at a low angle with a high grip rubber mat extends the option of offloading forwards. This is useful in cases when a horse is nervous of offloading backwards or if offloading through the front is the only option. The horse standing in the right hand stall would offload first. Once the front breach bar is unhooked for the second horse, the centre partition is positioned and secured to the side with the Centre Partition Mini Tye, freeing space for movement to the front ramp.
The HB511 with Front Ramp is offered in the standard “RSA Spec” which includes the following items:

The HB511 with Front Ramp in Silver has a full Silver coloured body. The large flat surface area offers great branding potential too!
