Fautras – other models: collective page of the French horsebox specialist, 51 versions including the Trivan, Maxipodium and Oblic, unladen weight from 550 to 1,790 kg, gross weight up to 3,500 kg
Fautras is a French manufacturer of horseboxes (vans), founded in 1992 by Marie-Noëlle and Jean-Luc Fautras in the Périgord (Dordogne); both had earlier family ties to the horse trade and the import of British horseboxes. In 1994 the company launched the Trivan, its first three- and four-horse van with diagonal loading, followed in 1997 by the Pro & Sport range under the name Podium, and a year later it patented a progressively rising floor. This collective page lists models such as the Trivan, Maxipodium, Olympium and the Oblic range, which the register did not assign to a named series.

The register lists here 51 versions with unladen weights from 550 to 1,790 kg at a gross weight of 1,200 to 3,500 kg. Widths range from 1,820 to 2,550 mm, and lengths, where recorded, from 4,270 to 6,100 mm.
Fautras is regarded as the only wholly French manufacturer in this market segment and is described at home as Europe's leading maker of horseboxes; the range is aimed at stables, competition yards and private horse owners for whom loading comfort and gentle transport matter most. The progressive floor and diagonal loading position that set the brand apart on the market still shape the construction of its vans today.
When buying a used horsebox of this kind, check above all the floor and partitions (damp, rot, fittings), the condition of the ramp and hinges, the axles and braking system, and the ventilation and windows; corrosion on the frame and drawbar is worth checking as much as the operation of the partitions and tie rings. Fautras supplies spare parts through its own dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
