Frequently asked questions

How much does a horsebox conversion cost in Carlisle?
The cost of a custom horsebox build or conversion varies widely depending on the base vehicle, number of horses, specification of the living area, and finish quality. A basic two-horse conversion on a used lorry can start from around £15,000 to £25,000, while a high-specification new build for three or more horses with luxury living can exceed £80,000 to £150,000. Get quotes from multiple builders listed on The Digital Yard for accurate pricing.
How long does a horsebox build take?
Build times depend on the complexity of the conversion and the builder's current workload. A straightforward conversion on a prepared base vehicle may take 8 to 16 weeks. A fully bespoke build from scratch can take 6 to 12 months or longer. Discuss timescales with your chosen builder early, particularly if you have a specific event or deadline in mind.
What base vehicle is best for a horsebox conversion?
Popular base vehicles for horsebox conversions include the Mercedes Actros, Volvo FM, Scania, DAF, and MAN ranges. The right choice depends on payload requirements, the number of horses, your driving licence category, and budget. A reputable horsebox builder will advise on the best donor vehicle for your needs and can often source suitable trucks on your behalf.
What should I look for when choosing a horsebox builder?
Look for builders with a strong portfolio of completed builds, verifiable references from previous clients, and experience with the type of conversion you need. Check that they use quality materials for flooring, partitions, and ramps — these directly affect your horses' safety. Membership of a professional trade body or accreditation is a positive sign.
