At Hulshof Horsetrucks, we understand the importance of preparing your horse truck optimally for winter. With our expertise, we ensure that both you and your horses can travel safely and comfortably, regardless of the weather conditions. Here is our comprehensive checklist, specially designed for your Hulshof Horsetrucks, so you can go on a winter-ready journey!:
1. Checking antifreeze
A well-functioning cooling system is crucial in winter. Check the antifreeze level and quality according to factory standards. Antifreeze prevents freezing in the engine and other systems. Do you not come out? Let us inspect the antifreeze and refill it where necessary.
2. Optimize tyres and grip
Safety starts with the right tyres:
- Check the tyre pressure and adjust it for optimal grip.
- Consider winter tyres for extra safety. Do you ride all-season tires? Check if they carry the snowflake symbol, so you also meet the winter requirements abroad.
Our specialists can advise you on the best tires for your specific truck and use.
3. Maintaining battery and electrical systems
Winterkou puts extra pressure on the battery.
- Check the voltage and charge state of your battery.
- If necessary, perform a maintenance to avoid start-up problems.
With a perfectly functioning battery you can pass the coldest mornings without any worries.
4. Top condition heating system
Make sure you and your horses stay warm:
- Have the heating system inspected and maintained.
- Clean filters and check air exhausts.
- Consider an electric heater as an additional source of heat in the living room or horse room.
Hulshof Horsetrucks offers additional solutions for comfort during cold journeys.
5. Protecting water tanks and pipes
A frozen water tank or pipe can cause a lot of damage. We help you with:
- Isolation of water tanks.
- The tapping and blowing of pipes to prevent freezing.
- Checking taps and valves.
This way, your water supply will continue to function smoothly, even in the freezing cold.
6. Winter-ready glass sprayer
Use a winter-resistant windscreen spray solution to maintain visibility during harsh weather conditions. We will be happy to fill it up for you.
7. Optimize Lighting
Good lighting is indispensable during the dark winter months. Let us:
- Check all the lights and replace them where necessary.
- Install additional lighting for better visibility and visibility.
8. Protecting door rubbers and moving parts
