HML/HMR Container

HML / HMR Horse Stall -
Main Deck

Our HML/HMR horse stall offers a perfect balance of comfort, safety and efficiency for equine air transport. This fully collapsible stall is the lightest on the market, yet it has all the premium features you could want to reduce travel stress and increase ease of use. It also simplifies storage and repositioning while reducing fuel consumption. In short, it sets a new standard for shipping horses.

From ample floor space to adjustable partitions, this stall is designed with horse, handler and sustainability in mind. It fits a wide range of wide-body aircraft, can be positioned left (HML) or right (HMR) in the cargo hold, and folds into stackable units for return flights.

Sending your horses on a round trip?
If the horses that you’re shipping by air usually have a return ticket, check out our HMJ model. This fixed horse stall has the most flexible contour on the market and can be loaded in both left and right positions in the air cargo hold. This gives you a wider choice of aircraft and allows the horse to always face forward while flying.

FAQ

Do you still have a few questions about the collapsible HML/HMR? That’s okay. We have all the answers you’re looking for.

Are my original HML/HMR stalls still safe to use?

Of course! The original HML/HMR model was also designed for maximum comfort and safety. You can carry on using your stalls. 

Is the lighter HML/HMR just as strong as the original?

Definitely! Our engineers spent two years finding ways to make the HML/HMR lighter without compromising its strength. They succeeded by using fewer parts and different, newer materials. The stall has been certified for airworthiness by EASA, proving that it’s strong enough to meet the authority’s stringent requirements. Watch this short video about how to make a collapsible horse stall lighter

Is the lighter HML/HMR just as durable as the original?

Yes! We put all the new materials through a series of rigorous tests to demonstrate the durability of the relaunched horse stall. Just like the original, it’s tough enough to withstand the demands of air and equine transportation, kicks and all.

How do I know I can trust these new materials?

We can give you two good reasons to trust the new materials: (1) The updated product designs have been certified by EASA, which is not an easy process, and (2) our highly talented engineers have tested all the materials every which way they can. Watch this short video to learn more about alternatives to aluminium ULDs.

Are the spare parts of the original HML/HMR still available?

Don’t worry. Spare parts will remain available for a considerable time. We want you to be able to repair your stalls for as long as they are airworthy.

Will the new HML/HMR fit any of the newer planes?

Yes, it will fit the A350 and 777FX. You can always use our compatibility search tool to check which planes fit any of your ULDs, including our full range of horse stalls.

Does the new HML/HMR need additional training or equipment?

No additional training or equipment is required. Simply watch the instruction videos or follow the instruction sticker on each stall to ensure safe and easy handling.
