• Scania, horsebox builder Equiline and horse trainer Pauline Ricketts have joined forces to develop a range of horseboxes. Scania Equiline will all be based on Scania-approved used 17-tonne truck chassis: most horseboxes cover low annual mileages.
The Equiline will accommodate up to six horses and four crew in three standard build
layouts. Variable-angle partitions will separate the horses at the back of the vehicle with access via a lead-on ramp which is designed for one-person operation.
Crew accommodation provides seating for four with a fitted kitchenette, four-seater dinette, shower/toilet and four bunks. Options include an onboard generator to provide onsite power or emergency re-charging for the vehicle's batteries.
All Scania-approved used trucks must be less than six years old and must pass a 68point inspection. The Equiline will be offered fully serviced with a minimum three months' driveline warranty. A full service history will be provided.
