We are looking for our first lorry and I have seen a few I like but not sure on the length. Those with lorries that can travel 2/3 horses ( 7.5t ) what length are yours and how are they to drive? x
2/3 horse Horseboxes

All 7.5t lorries are different!
Each make of horse box and each chassis is different.
All you have to remember is clear your rear axle and you can turn!
I used to have a 7.5t but felt small on the road so as I have got my class 1 I bought a 12m full length HGV much better!

I have a solitaire which is side load. Takes 2 big horses or 3 ponies. Is 21' long.
On an iveco chassis it's lovely to drive.
However, when looking for previous box, I travelled length and breadth of the country and many boxes I found awful to drive and I walked away even though the actual box may have looked superb!
The hardest thing I have found on many is the gear box. And, just because they are a lorry, the gearbox doesn't have to be sticky and hard to engage.
