Ifor Williams HB511

Where the HB506 covers horses up to 16.2hh, the HB511 is Ifor Williams’ answer for owners with slightly bigger horses – two horses up to 17.2hh in a body that is both longer and wider than the 506. It is the model to look at if your horses are solidly built rather than lightly framed, even if neither is enormous.

Construction does not change from the rest of the HB range: galvanised steel chassis, aluminium framing, composite panels. What does change is the internal footprint, and that extra length and width translate directly into less scrambling and shifting in transit for taller, heavier horses – worth the difference over the 506 if your horses are genuinely at the upper end of that bracket.

As with any larger trailer in a manufacturer’s range, the HB511 is also physically heavier than its smaller sibling, which has real consequences on South African roads: check your tow vehicle’s braked capacity against the fully loaded weight, and do not assume a vehicle that handled a smaller trailer comfortably will do the same here. This is also a wider trailer overall, which matters on narrower farm roads and older bridges in rural areas.

Ifor Williams’ local service network covers this model as it does the rest of the HB range, so parts and warranty support are not a concern specific to this trailer versus any other Ifor Williams unit. Contact us to confirm exact current dimensions, weight and pricing for the unit in stock.

The same licensing basics apply here as with any new trailer sold in South Africa: a valid trailer licence disc is required before the HB511 goes on public roads, and it is worth sorting this alongside your purchase rather than as an afterthought once you are ready to tow. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
