The EquiLock® lockable partition wall offers absolute safety for your animal friends even when the tailgate is open. In emergency situations, the partition wall cannot be moved unintentionally as the locking mechanism effectively prevents the rear bars from being pushed upwards. This means that the partition wall cannot be prised out, even when the tailgate is open, which significantly reduces the risk of injury to horses in the trailer.

With the lever folded in when closed, you can lock and unlock the EquiLock® partition wall yourself without much effort and, of course, open it wide to make access easier. 

Standard in the following models:
• EQUITOS Plywood 2000 / 2400

The sophisticated Humbaur EquiSpace® interior concept ensures maximum space for the horses in the trailer during transport and is integrated as standard in many models.

The divided, padded and moulded chest and breech bars can be mounted individually at three different levels and depths. This means that the standing area in the trailer can be precisely adjusted from small to large horses. The proven locking system has been retained for safety reasons and in response to many customer requests. 

Standard in all models for transporting two horses. 

The robust side kick guard protects the side walls from damage or rapid wear and tear caused by kicks from the horse. 
This is achieved through a construction of fibreglass mats manufactured according to our own patents, which are impregnated with polypropylene in a second step. The side step protection is therefore not only hard, but also resistant to moisture and chemicals. This ensures that dents and other damage to the side wall of the horse trailer can be safely avoided. If the step protection becomes worn, it is easy to replace. 

Standard in the following models: 
• SINGLE Alu 1600
• EQUITOS Alu Plus 2000 / 2400 
• XANTHOS 
• XANTHOS Aero 
• PEGASUS

In a trailer, the floor plate in particular has to withstand a lot. Dampness, temperature fluctuations, the weight and movements of horses – high quality is essential for a durable and safe solution. 
The Humbaur AluBiComp floor is not only moisture-resistant, but also increases the payload of your horse trailer thanks to its low weight (30% less than wood). Thanks to its sophisticated composite panel construction (two cover layers made of specially coated aluminium sheets with a polypropylene plastic core), it is rot-proof and non-malleable. This means that the AluBiComp floor can easily withstand highly concentrated loads from heavy horses (thickness 21 mm).

The AluBiComp floor is fitted as standard in all our aluminium horse trailers and all MAXIMUS® trailers. All other Humbaur horse trailers have the option to be equipped with the AluBiComp floor.

Many models are already equipped with a saddle compartment as standard. The specifically developed aluminium door frame profile with three-point lock ensures optimum closing comfort and a high level of tightness in the saddle compartment.

Saddle compartment features
• Saddle holder 
• Removable feed troughs, easily accessible by the horse, including holder on the front wall 
• Battery-powered interior light with motion detector, which also lights up without a towing vehicle; can also be used as a mobile torch 
• Shovel and broom 
• Storage compartment and bar (for all AERO models)
• Mirror and storage net
 • Bridle holder
 • Universal hook (e.g. for spurs)
 • Drainage opening for easy cleaning  

The tinted and
five-way adjustable vent windows provide an optimum air supply from the front.

The standard Humbaur wind deflector ensures draft-free ventilation and continuous air circulation. The fine-pored mesh allows the exchange of air and repels rainwater, as the perforations are smaller than water droplets. The water remains on the outside and flows downwards. The wind deflector is also equipped with an easy-roll system, so that it rolls up quickly and quietly when opened – the horses will not be startled by the roller blinds springing up. The fine pores of the mesh allow sufficient light through and guarantee a bright interior.

The Humbaur windflap offers draught-free interior ventilation thanks to the ventilation openings integrated into the all-polyester tailgate. Rainwater is diverted. The windflap is also equipped with a folding system, so that the integrated gas pressure dampers guarantee easy, one-handed opening and smooth sliding upwards and fixing.
