Manufactured in France in the factory in Normandy, the Proteo Switch is the result of THEAULT’s sharp know-how that guarantees uncompromising quality. The insulated sandwich panels with polyurethane foam used to manufacture the body provides significant advantages. In addition to heat and sound insulation, such material is very light, rot-proof and resistant to ageing. The core parts of the horsebox (body, lateral panels, rear frame, partition) as well as the insulated luton are designed collectively to be light and resistant to provide safety and comfort to horses and passengers.

Safety Testing
The panels have been successfully tested on a crash performance by the UTAC (French organization called “Union Technique de l’Automobile et du Cycle” which means Technical Union for Motor vehicles and Cycles), single French entity accredited to conduct such tests. The panels resist to a 1350 kg effort on every anchor point of the security belts. Thanks to this tests, the 3 and 5 passenger cabins have been homologated, certifying the very high resistance of the panels in case of emergency braking or impact. Great attention has been given to the design of the key parts of the horsebox, especially the ones that are subject to high pressures (panels, breast separation tube, partition). Designed as a single piece of aluminium, without any welding nor joints, these parts are thought to have the best weight / resistance ratio. Besides a specific non-slip treatment on the horse part, the wide and secure side-ramp enables to load and unload horses in complete safety. The partition can be easily handled and moved in just a few movements. The wide rear door has been designed to allow rapid horse evacuation if necessary.

Tack-rooms
Each of our customers is different and you will have your own expectations and requirements: THEAULT is conscious about giving primary and sole attention to each customer individually. This is why we offer different tack-room layouts adapted to all kind of activities. Shelves, hanging rails, storage accessories, saddle and bridle-racks can all be added. The tack lockers close thanks to a lockable sliding door securing equipment during transportation while ensuring storage space when away from the stables.
