The Current Gillie Fleet

We feel we run the most up to date fleet of horseboxes in the country - each of these vehicles have been designed and thought out thoroughly for our type of transportation so we know how the horses/ponies are going to travel. We currently run four Scanias and one Mercedes chassis all fitted with custom built Oakley coach built bodies. We know these are the most reliable combinations on the market and having used these manufacturers for over 20 years it gives us peace of mind knowing they are reliable and safe out on the road.

All our vehicles are by law required to have a six weekly safety inspection which is done locally at our Scania/Mercedes dealer so all our vehicles are permanently in 1st class condition. All the vehicles are sent to Oakley coachbuilders at least once a year to make sure the bodies are maintained and in good order.

All vehicles are type approved by Defra for journeys up to and over 12 hours.

We also run a 2 stall rear facing low entry (ideal for taking sick/injured horses to and from various veterinary practices/hospitals). The JSW coach built horsebox with a Peugeot chassis is one of the latest additions to the fleet. This is mainly used for shorter journeys and is extremely handy for using locally.

All our horseboxes are equipped with the most up to date technology by these leading coach builders. They have fully adjustable partitions to fit any size of equine, non slip rubber flooring, padded stalls, cooling fans, cctv and front and rear air suspension for easy low loading. The animals really are travelling in luxury and style!!
