Disclaimer
Any liability of the manufacturer becomes null and void if:

– the original parts or conversion parts / accessories
approved by Humbaur GmbH are replaced by other
components.

existing drill holes in the frame). This is considered by
Humbaur GmbH to be a structural change, and the type
approval therefore becomes null and void.

component parts which are not original HUMBAUR
parts are attached or installed. The type approval of the
trailer, possibly even the insurance cover, becomes null
and void.

Fig. 2 EquiSpace spatial concept with AERO Front saddle
compartment
Fig. 3 Individual interior fittings (example)
The horse trailers were specially designed for transporting
horses. The range of models allows for the transport of 1 to
2 horses.
The horse trailers come equipped with a brake and reverse
automatic function as a standard. All horse trailer models
have a handbrake with overrun hitch as standard.
For most models, the ALUBICOMP Floor and the EquiDrive
chassis are part of the standard equipment.
The EquiDrive PLUS chassis is available as an optional
extra.
The side vent windows and the optional roof vent ensure an
adequate supply of air during the drive.
The optional panorama roof of the new Maximus allows the
horse to look out into the distance.
Some models come with a saddle compartment as
standard equipment. The saddle compartment can be
individually designed, with various saddle rails or storage
facilities.
The EquiSpace spatial concept in combination with AERO
Front allows for a very high storage volume.
The folding tailgate / front exit ensures simple loading /
unloading of the horse. As an option, the tailgate can also
be executed as a revolving door.
In the AERO models, wind noise and fuel consumption are
minimised by the AERO Front. The 20% larger saddle
compartment provides sufficient storage space for all
utensils.
The large-scale trailers provide maximum room for 2
horses.
Depending on the model and size of the trailer selected, the
interior fittings can be adapted to your requirements.
The carriage trailer with a specially extended drawbar
provides comfortable transport for two horses and a
carriage.
