Paragan – other models: British horseboxes from Whitchurch, Excelsion line with 2,299 cm³, 115 to 125 kW, kerb weights of 2.6 to 2.9 t
This page covers horsebox vehicles from the British manufacturer Paragan of Whitchurch, Shropshire, which builds horse-transport bodies on commercial-vehicle chassis. The listed models EXCELSION 5, EXCELSION 5XL and Excelsion belong to the Excelsion line and all share the same 2.3-litre diesel engine of 2,299 cm³ with four cylinders. The 5XL suffix denotes the longer version compared with the base model.

The register lists 3 versions with 115 to 125 kW from four-cylinder engines of 2,299 cm³, kerb weights of 2,648 to 2,860 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 3,950 to 3,980 kg, lengths of 6,239.5 to 6,760 mm and a width of 2,145 mm.
Horseboxes such as the Excelsion line are aimed at stables, breeders and competition riders who want to transport one or more horses under their own power; in this British niche market Paragan competes with, among others, Roelofsen and Equi-Trek, with providers differing mainly in interior fit-out, equipment level and the towing vehicle's licence class.
When buying a used horsebox of this kind, check the condition of the floor in the horse stall, corrosion of the body frame caused by moisture and droppings, the function of the partitions and loading ramps, the wiring of interior lighting and ventilation, and, on the chassis, the usual wear points on brakes and suspension under frequently high payloads.
