The following photographs are just an example of some of the types of refurb jobs that we get in. These images show the extent of the water damage in a typical GRP sided horsebox.
The vehicle in question was a Leyland DAF, typical GRP box, with normal roof construction. (i.e. Fibre glass) Aluminium shaped top rails, non tilt domed luton with normal aluminium windows. Fully skirted to include tack lockers, water tanks etc.
This vehicle came to us with the following problems -
Both sides, over time, had accepted water into the sides (GRP).
The ramp had bowed and broken and the luton front had been damaged.
The pictures will show how we totally stripped both sides of the vehicle, and rebuilt them completely.
We would like to show you some of the joys that we encounter with regard to broken ramps, and hope these photos show the extent to which we go to to put a damaged ramp back together.
This is a typical example of age related water damage and the effects this has on the internal steel work. It also illustrates the old type of framing methods used from years past.
We would like to show you a horse box that we have been looking after for 14 years.
The box itself is constructed of oak and mahogany, and the original when built was on a Bedford TK.
We moved the box onto a Ford around 8 years ago.
Since then it has come back to us at regular intervals for rework.
The Bar Box conversion is not your typical box conversion - in this case the owner required the horse trailer to be converted so that refreshments could be provided at events, shows, and weddings.
The trailer was a vintage Rice horse trailer, restored in a rustic finish. A serving window was added to the side to allow customers to order refreshments.
This double decker bus conversion project serves as an activty centre and was created in collaboratoiun with a primary school, for use by all the children including those with special needs.
The bus includes electricty & Wifi, with seating areas for the children to observe and study wildlife.
This 7.5 tonne horsebox was converted in to a camper.
For this conversion the living area and horse section were removed.
They and replaced by a functional camper including kitchen area, seating area, single bunk bed and storage.
The seating area also converts to a double bed, and we even inlcuded a toilet.
