Buy or hire the Maxi 3 if...

  • you want one that carries 1,693kg more
  • you want one that is rated 2,750kg heavier gross

The Maxi 3 is aimed at owners who regularly need to move three horses at once, using diagonal herringbone stalls and a full-size tack room rather than a simple extension of a two-horse layout. At 3500kg GVW it needs a suitably rated tow vehicle and, for newer licence holders, category B+E entitlement.
