Horsebox Servicing
Reliable Servicing & Repairs for Horseboxes up to 6.5 Tonnes
At Berkeley Trailers & Horseboxes, we take pride in keeping your horsebox running safely, smoothly, and efficiently all year round. With over 35 years of hands-on experience, our expert team provides servicing and repairs for horseboxes up to 6.5 tonnes, ensuring your vehicle remains roadworthy, reliable, and ready for every journey.
Your horsebox is not just a vehicle — it’s a vital part of your horse’s safety and comfort. Regular servicing helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, reduces long-term repair costs, and ensures your horsebox meets all safety and performance standards.
That’s why we recommend having your horsebox serviced annually, ideally alongside your MOT for convenience and peace of mind.
Comprehensive Horsebox Servicing
Our horsebox servicing covers every major system and safety feature to ensure your vehicle remains in top condition. Each service includes:
Braking System Inspection & Adjustment
Full brake system check, including drums, shoes, hydraulic and air systems, cables, and linkages — cleaned, adjusted, and tested for safe and consistent performance.
Engine Bay & Driveline Checks
Inspection of fluid levels, belts, hoses, filters, and general engine components to ensure smooth, reliable running.
Suspension & Axle Checks
We inspect suspension units, axles, and mountings for corrosion, wear, or fatigue to maintain a safe, stable ride for both horse and driver.
Electrical Systems & Lighting
Testing of all interior and exterior lighting, wiring, and connections — including indicators, brake lights, and number plate illumination — ensuring your horsebox meets road safety standards.
Couplings, Ramps & Bodywork
We assess and lubricate moving parts, inspect the ramp hinges and flooring for wear, and check for rust or damage to the body structure.
Tyres, Wheels & Wheel Bearings
All tyres and wheels are checked for tread depth, pressure, and condition. Bearings are cleaned, greased, and adjusted where required.
Fluid Top-Ups & General Lubrication
We top up engine oil, coolant, brake and washer fluids, and apply appropriate lubrication throughout.
Safety & Performance Report
Every service includes a detailed safety inspection and written report, giving you clear feedback on your horsebox’s overall condition.
Why Have Your Trailer Serviced?
Regular trailer servicing isn’t just about ticking a maintenance box — it’s about safety, reliability, and protecting your investment. A well-serviced trailer gives you enhanced safety reassurance on the road, helping prevent accidents and costly breakdowns.
It also improves reliability and reduces downtime, ensuring your trailer is always ready when you need it. By maintaining key components, you help preserve the integrity of your cargo, improve fuel efficiency, and enable the early detection of structural issues before they become expensive problems. In short, regular servicing keeps you, your load, and other road users safe.
