How Humbaur compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Humbaur.
Humbaur vs Bockmann
Premium German horse transport, particularly the aluminium Portax and Champion. Serious competitors and dealers buy it for build quality and for the multi-horse Traveller, which has few direct equivalents in the UK.
Humbaur vs Saris
Well-made Dutch aluminium box trailers carrying a three-year warranty. Buy on specification, but check who will service it locally before committing, because in Britain this is an order rather than a shelf purchase.
Humbaur vs Anssems
Aluminium construction gives unusually high payload for the gross weight, which matters enormously when a licence category or a tow rating is the binding constraint. The GT500 hard-tops are popular with campers who want something lockable.
Humbaur vs Eduard
Build-your-own through a configurator rather than pick-from-a-list. Wheels sit under the floor so the deck is full width, and the ramps store in drawers underneath. Suits a buyer with an exact specification who would otherwise have to compromise.
Humbaur vs Debon
The ride-quality option in box vans and tippers. The Pullman 2 four-wheel independent suspension gives a low floor and car-like towing, which is exactly what someone moving bikes, a track car or trade kit notices at 60mph on a motorway.
