Get there safely and in style!

Having transport that’s safe, comfortable and practical is vital for stress-free travel

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a newbie to the show world, you’ll no doubt have a checklist of wants and wishes that will make the whole experience more pleasurable, not to mention safer, for you and your horse. At the top of this will be transportation. Let’s face it, arriving at your destination safely and stress free is paramount for a successful performance and then, after a tiring day, you’ll be looking for a relaxing journey home.

The right transport

Having the right horsebox makes all the difference to the travel experience for both you and your horse. For yourself, you’ll be looking for something that’s easy to drive, has storage for your equipment and belongings, looks smart and professional and has all the extras that make the whole travel process that bit easier and more pleasurable.

Your horse, meanwhile, will be happy in a lorry that provides a smooth, comfortable ride, is light with good air flow and has enough space to allow him to stand with stability.

All boxes ticked

If you want a horsebox that ticks all these boxes and more, then look no further than the two-stall Overlander R240. Endorsed by top eventer Zara Tindall and other leading equestrians, the horsebox has been designed with the safety and comfort of the equine passenger at the forefront to ensure the horse has a good ride, which, in turn, gives peace of mind to the driver.

R240 owner Zara Tindall has been using her vehicle for some time now and it’s very much meeting her demanding expectations. She says, “The new Overlander horsebox is a great little truck, it’s very functional and easy to work with. The partition and space are great to get around the horses, and they have a good amount of travelling space. The horses have been traveling really well in the box, and the lightweight ramp is easy to get up and down.”

Safety first

Safety is the most important factor to consider when travelling with horses and, with this in mind, the R240’s special features include…

• A sliding rail system in the stalls that can be locked in three positions for ease of use and with minimal gaps
• High-tensile panels and a bulkhead system built for strength and longevity
• A spring-assisted side-loading ramp made from advanced composite materials
• A triple-layer floor
• An oversized rear door for ease of access – especially important in an emergency
• An internal camera so horses can be observed during transit
• A Eurotunnel-approved ventilation system
• Positive catch-back barn and rear doors for extra security on windy days
• Reversing camera fitted as standard

Technical info

The 3.5 tonne R240 has an efficient 2.0L Blue HDi diesel engine with a manual six-speed transmission, offering 140 BHP to couple top performance and power with excellent fuel consumption levels.

Luxury travel

Drivers and riders aren’t forgotten either. The Overlander R240 is so easy and lightweight to drive plus there’s plenty of space for tack storage, too, including foldable saddle racks, while the soft, leather seats mean comfortable travel isn’t confined to the horses. The Sport model also includes an entertainment system.

Looking good

And as if that isn’t enough, the R240 has sleek, stylish good looks, too. It’s available in four standard colours (including metallic-finish options) and has an attractive aerodynamic trim. However, bespoke colours and graphics are also available on request for the personalised experience.
