Containers
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. |
Configurations
This stable can be converted from a standard triple configuration, to two
wider double stalls, for larger horses or a foal and mare, or a stall and a
pen for a group of mini ponies. 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.
Optional Equipment
The Walk-Through Triple Stable supports the following optional equipment that
provides for hassle-free transits. Optional equipment should be specified
when ordering.
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. |
