LG keeps top riders cool

July 2002

Specialist coach builder Gary Hirst and his team build luxury horse boxes which are designed to provide everything that the owners, riders and horses need to be self sufficient when attending events all over Europe.

The standard heating system previously fitted to each vehicle has now been replaced with an LG split system heat pump, following a proposal from Thermofrost Cryo.

The 2 kW wall mounted indoor unit cools and heats the living accommodation, which is located just behind the unique fully tilting cab. LG's JET COOL rapid cooling feature brings the indoor temperature down quickly after the vehicle has been standing in the sun, whilst built-in PLASMA electronic air filtration keeps the air clean.

The outdoor unit is hung underneath the chassis on a purpose made frame. Whilst on the move it is protected by a plastic cover, which is removed when the horse box is stationary. Power is supplied by the on-board generator, or by mains supply if available on site. Up to six horses can be stabled in the rear of the vehicle and they can also be air conditioned by fitting additional LG units in the same way.
