Walk-Thru Triple Stable


The Walk-Thru Triple Stable

Our flagship container - this stall's got it all. For the shipper, the walk-thru design ("in the back, out the front") provides the latest in animal safety and loading flexibility- particularly during the riskiest part of any operation, the loading and unloading of animals. The stall's unique interconnecting design allows the shipper to assemble it quickly and easily - without any stray fasteners or tools - a big plus to help keep your mind on the animals. The low weight of the stall's components minimizes the manpower required to set-up the stalls - which have only four unique components, and they're all interchangeable. The stall's wide-ranging approval gives the shipper the choice of using almost any carrier's aircraft, and the comfort of knowing there will be no hang-ups on the tarmac due to questionable equipment.


Typical Installation with Sniffer Panels

For the carrier, this container is fully approved, collapsible, and the lightest unit on the market - by a long shot! It comes complete with approval documentation - an STC covering just about every transport aircraft and pallet type in the air today, and includes a manual providing tie-down and "installation" instructions, so the loadmaster can get the flight quickly in the air. The collapsible design provides an astounding amount of positioning flexibility. It shrinks the height of each triple stall to 8 inches when repositioned alone, or allows for an incredible 15 triple stalls to be stacked on a single pallet in under 63 inches when returned in bulk. An entire shipset can be repositioned in the belly of a wide-body - even on scheduled service - or on a single pallet of any narrow body - with room and weight to spare. And at a structural weight of 174 lbs. of container per horse, you'll be assured that as fuel costs rise, your dollars are going toward moving the cargo, not the containers.

The stacked triple is only 8 inches high.
Fifteen stalls can be shipped on a single pallet.

The various stall configurations and sizes are shown below. Reference the IATA Live Animal Handbook, for grouping information if you plan on shipping more than one horse to a stall.

Required Equipment
The following equipment is required to use the above equipment on any of the aircraft listed below. The pallets and tie-down straps are generally supplied by the carrier, and are made available to the shipper in advance.
Pallets Any one of the standard pallet sizes listed below. You will need one pallet per unit. They are commercial air-cargo standard pallets, and are sometimes referred to as "cookie sheets".
Straps Standard (5,000 lbs.) aircraft tie-down straps keep this container on the pallet. They are sometimes scarce around airports, so let us know if you'll need us to supply them for you.
Bedding While not absolutely a requirement, we list it here because some form of bedding is always used. This can vary from a rubber mat for traction, to an adsorbent media to reduce moisture and bacteria on longer flights. We can supply whatever you need if you don't already have your own.
If you're unsure what's best for a typical flight or destination, you can look it up in the IATA Live Animal Handbook - or just ask us.
