7.5 tonne horsebox rebuild

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.

The vehicle came to us regarding a water leak showing staining on the internal wall carpets and bubbling of the floor covering. Upon investigation, we realised that the leak had started from where the luton joins the body of the vehicle.

Preparation for respray

These photos show the cab, chassis and box being prepared for respray and resprayed in white (customer's choice), all the windows, doors etc. being put back in.

Ramp Repair

The ramp was bowed and broken. Our first photo shows the ramp once we have completed the repair, while the remaining four photos show the damage to the ramp when it arrived with us before we started our work to restore it to top class condition.
