VRR, a leading innovator in air cargo equipment, has unveiled the latest redesign of its HML/HMR collapsible horse stall, setting a new benchmark in equine air transport by combining greater comfort for horses with enhanced operational efficiency and sustainability.
Lighter, Stronger, More Sustainable
The updated stall is significantly lighter than previous models while maintaining its robust strength and spacious design. This weight reduction supports lower fuel consumption, aligning with the aviation industry’s environmental goals, and simplifies handling for ground crews.
Animal Welfare at the Core
Equipped with wide, low-entry ramps, sliding groom doors, and a quiet, well-ventilated interior, the stall is designed to reduce stress during loading and flight. Adjustable partitions and ample floor space accommodate different horse sizes, ensuring maximum comfort and safety.
Smarter Storage and Deployment
The stall’s collapsible, stackable design allows for easy storage and efficient repositioning on return flights, saving space and reducing operational costs. Its flexibility also enables placement on either side of a wide-body aircraft cargo hold.
A Fresh Standard in Equine Logistics
“The HML/HMR stall has long been trusted in equine transport,” a VRR spokesperson said. “This redesign strikes the perfect balance between animal welfare, operational efficiency, and sustainability, establishing a new standard for safe and comfortable horse transportation by air.”
