Buy or hire the Maxi 3 if...
- you want one that is 33cm (1ft) wider inside
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.

For owners of taller or longer horses who find the standard HB511 too tight, giving extra internal length on the same 3500kg chassis so it stays towable by a suitably rated 4x4.
