Taylor Horseboxes

Don't know anyone with them but keep seeing them liked by friends on Faceache. Never heard of them before seeing them pop up recently. Sorry no help!
 
Local to me and seen a few at shows. Always look very smart in bright modern colours. The demo model was all mod cons. I think they only do 2 stall 3.5 / 4 tonne models.
Think theyre built to order based on various chassis types - the ones I've seen have been Merc and Reneult engines / cabs.

They have a website and FB page if that's any help.

Thanks KS, try aren't terribly local so wanted an idea of what they are like before taking a journey to look at them. They look quite nice and are considerably cheaper than the ones I have been looking at so was unsure if they were worth a visit so thanks for that :)
 
Were incredibly rude on their social media - someone was having problems with them and when I questioned what the situation was ( I hadn't sided with either - I was neutral ) but they blocked my account rudely, I hadn't done anything??
Rather rude, someone else told me that they don't listen / accept negative feedback, but this was not myself so I cannot quote directly on that.
 
Yes I saw this unfold too

They are a newish company that take old courier vans and build very expensive boxes in them but I've seen people on social media struggling to get subsequent mechanical problems seen to

The business may have split out from another business a few months ago as I saw the lady that runs it arguing with a customer in Facebook that he needed to be dealing with a man as it was nothing to do with her, that did not fill me with confidence
 
I bought my Taylor Horsebox last year & absolutely LOVE it!! Very good value for money!!
Found them very helpful & with the aftercare service.
I also saw the Facebook negative comments & questioned what was going on. Apparently another horsebox manufacturer was slagging them off?
All I can say I would highly recommend them. Very happy with my box
 
And sorry forgot to add regarding someone commenting they convert old vans mine is a 63 plate with low mileage? So wouldn't say it's that old!! Lol!
 
Having purchased my box in November I just thought I would pass comment great little company .... the box at the time they had for sale didn't have a hob and sink but it was not a issue we came too agreement and I only had too wait a extra few days for it too be done .... so can not fault them. Thanks Margret
 
I purchased a box from Taylor horseboxes and can only praise the service , the box, and the aftercare offered, which I have never needed. !! Unfortunately competitor companies are quick to add negative ,and untrue statements which only shows they are are threatened by Taylor Horseboxes . I recommend this company very highly !

Well, I was considering a box from them, and when you are paying such a large sum you want it to be perfect right? It was a question / comment from a customer - not a competitor. They were having issues with the box and I wanted to know what happened - and what they were doing about it, just trying to gauge what kind of company they were. Instead of explaining / replying they blocked my account, which only made me suspicious, and more likely to believe the customer!

I can only speak as I find. I have been absolutely thrilled ..
 
Ok understand that. Perhaps Taylor's thought you were interfering in something that was nothing to do with you. This is the trouble with social media I'm afraid. And it works both ways.

Someone asks about a company, nobody replies to start with.
Then a couple of posts raising a bit of info from a FB discussion.
Suddenly 2 or more completely new posters pop up for their 1st posts - raving lyrically about said company/product.

Ho-hum, I hope the OP will draw her own conclusions & make appropriate investigations/visit etc herself.
 
I am afraid that there are a lot of 'Chancers' out there portraying to be reputable builders of horse boxes but in reality are far from that.
If you want satisfaction then go to one of the reputable companies rather than risk your hard earned money on a new start business without a legitimate track record.
I am afraid that there are a lot of rogues out there only too happy to take your money ......................................!
 
Oh I see. Well I can only say I've seen a few about as they are local to me and they look quite smart and don't appear to be old bodies given they are on recent plates.
I'm a car and trailer driver and not in the market for a lorry so have no knowledge of them as a company. I feel sorry for new and small businesses trying to get started. One bad review and it's all over www with no knowing if it's true.
 
not a company ive come across but from there site they look a good box, but horseboxes need a in person look to see how they are built to give a better idea.
word of advise when looking at any box ask questions, lots of them even if they seem daft. if they cant answer how its built they are most likely only agents that sell on as opposed to a company that actuality builds them.(not that there is anything wrong with that)
always request a weight certificate this shouldn't be a problem.
3.5t boxes ask how the bulkhead between horses and cab is manufactured, ideally there should be a box frame separating the two.
another must is if it has any gas appliances request a gas check certificate to say it has been installed by a competent fitter and tested.

and just to be honest i do build horseboxes and no its not for this company, im here to help if people have a question i maybe able to help with.
