Old Horsebox? Have you considered a body swap?
Daunting, but worth it if you are thinking of giving your horsebox a new lease of life!

At PB Coachbuilders, we’ve been carrying out body swaps on horseboxes for over 15 years — and we know exactly how to make the process smooth, safe, and stress-free.

Whether your current chassis is showing its age or you’re just ready for an upgrade, we can help source the right chassis, carry out the full body transfer, and even refurbish the living and horse areas to your spec. Need insurance work handled too? We’ve got that covered.

Drop us a message or give us a call to discuss your project — your horsebox could be better than new!

At PB Coachbuilders, we are proud to announce our full qualification and recognition as approved installers of the Progressive Safe System (PSS), in compliance with Transport for London's (TfL) enhanced safety regulations.

🚚✅ This advancement underscores our commitment to vehicle safety and our dedication to meeting the highest industry standards. 🌟

Understanding the Progressive Safe System (PSS):

As part of TfL's Vision Zero initiative, the PSS aims to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries on London's transport network by 2041.

🚦⚠️ Effective from 28th October 2024, the PSS introduced stringent requirements for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) operating in Greater London, particularly affecting vehicles with a Direct Vision Standard (DVS) star rating of zero, one, or two. These vehicles must be equipped with specified safety features to obtain or renew their HGV Safety Permits. 🛑

Our team at PB Coachbuilders is fully equipped to install the necessary PSS components, ensuring that your vehicles comply with TfL's regulations.

🚛🔧 Our services include the installation of:

Camera Monitoring Systems (CMS): 🎥 Enhances the driver's view of the vehicle's nearside, reducing blind spots.

Class V and VI Mirrors: 🪞 Provides comprehensive visibility around the vehicle, crucial for urban operations.

Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS): 🚨 Alerts drivers to the presence of vulnerable road users in proximity to the vehicle.

Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS): 🔄 Warns drivers of potential obstacles when the vehicle is in motion.

Why Choose PB Coachbuilders?

Expertise: 👨‍🔧 Our technicians are trained and certified in PSS installations, ensuring adherence to all regulatory standards. We can even help you apply for the permit!

Quality Assurance: 🛠️ We utilize only high-quality, TfL-approved components to guarantee reliability and performance.

Compliance: ✅ We stay informed of all regulatory changes, ensuring your vehicles meet current and future safety requirements.

Customer Commitment: 🤝 Our personalised service is tailored to your operational needs, minimising downtime and enhancing safety.

Ensure Your Fleet's Compliance Today:

With the deadline for PSS compliance having passed on 28th October 2024, it is imperative that all affected vehicles are equipped with the necessary safety systems to avoid penalties and, more importantly, to protect all road users.

🚨🛡️ Trust PB Coachbuilders to keep your fleet safe, compliant, and operational. 🚚💼
