This exceptional 26 tonne Volvo STX horsebox combines impressive proportions, refined living accommodation and a highly considered specification, making it an outstanding choice for both professional and private equestrian use.

Yes, we offer extensive options to customise your Stephex horsebox to meet your exact personal or professional requirements. Our flagship STX range represents the pinnacle of bespoke design, allowing you to tailor everything from the living accommodation layouts and automotive-grade finishes to the configuration of the equine area. Built on premium Mercedes, Scania, or Volvo frames, these heavy-duty vehicles can be fully customisable to safely transport up to nine horses in world-class comfort.
If you are looking for a compact 3.5t lorry or a versatile 7.5t build, we provide a wide range of premium configurations, luxury leather options, and layout extras. However, if you prefer a faster delivery time without navigating a lengthy customisation process, our AKX range offers a standardised, “ready-to-go” luxury build on a dependable Mercedes chassis at a more accessible price point. From luxury motorhomes with integrated garages to high-volume horse trucks, our team helps you secure the perfect transport configuration.
Horse safety and engineering excellence are at the very heart of the Stephex design philosophy. Every vehicle we offer is built to ensure your horses travel securely, reduce travel stress, and arrive at the competition entirely composed and ready to perform.
Our trucks feature advanced safety engineering, including fully reinforced bulkheads and impact-resistant partitions to protect the horses in transit. The horse area is equipped with temperature-regulated ventilation systems, shock-absorbing flooring to minimise joint fatigue over long journeys, and custom ergonomic layouts designed specifically for stress-free loading and travel. By combining lightweight carbon-fiber styles with robust structural security, our builds provide a level of protection that far surpasses traditional, heavy wood-finish horseboxes. This keeps your equine partners completely safe while safeguarding your long-term financial investment.
Yes, depending entirely on the specific model and chassis configuration you choose, Stephex horseboxes can easily and safely transport more than two horses. Our high-volume 3.5t lorry models are engineered as highly maneuverable stalls ideal for transporting up to two horses safely.
However, if you manage a larger racing yard, polo team, or busy showjumping operation, our larger configurations offer significantly expanded capacities. The functional luxury AKX models, built on dependable Mercedes frames, are designed to accommodate between five and nine horses. Furthermore, our flagship STX range can be highly customised on premium Mercedes, Scania, or Volvo frames to transport up to nine horses in world-class, climate-controlled comfort. This ensures that no matter the size of your string, your horses travel under the highest levels of safety engineering.
Yes, Stephex horseboxes are specifically engineered to be incredibly easy, smooth, and intuitive to drive. Unlike traditional, heavy British builds that can feel cumbersome, Stephex vehicles feature a modern European design built on premium Mercedes, Scania, or Volvo chassis. These automotive-grade foundations ensure that handling, steering, and braking feel exactly like driving a modern luxury car or commercial van rather than a heavy utility truck.
Our high-volume 3.5t lorry models offer exceptional maneuverability through narrow UK country lanes and busy event grounds, making them a favourite for casual hobbyists and professional riders alike. Across our entire range, including larger full-HGV models, advanced driver comfort and performance mobility systems come as standard. With features such as intelligent cruise control, ergonomic cabins, high-definition camera monitoring systems, and advanced stability control, you and your horses will arrive at your destination composed, relaxed, and entirely stress-free.
