Spier – other models: the collective page of the German horsebox builder, Athlet and the P36 to P55 series on the Sprinter base, 84 to 120 kW, 2,143 to 2,500 cc

This page gathers models from the German horsebox manufacturer Spier that the register could not assign to a named range. Spier builds truck bodies for horse transport on chassis such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; the Athlet range denotes a model family, while the P36, P45, P45 plus and P55 types are named after the gross vehicle weight or payload class in tonnes.

The register lists 8 versions here with recorded outputs from 84 to 120 kW from four-cylinder engines of 2,143 to 2,500 cc, kerb weights from 2,440 to 2,642 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,800 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,990 to 7,800 mm and widths from 2,010 to 2,550 mm.

Horseboxes like Spier's serve a specialised market of riding stables, studs and competition riders who need air-conditioned, padded horse compartments with partitions and sufficient headroom; the various P size classes allow the vehicle to be matched to one or several horses and to the weight and temperament of the animals carried.

When buying used, what counts is the condition and sealing of the horse compartment bodywork, slip resistance and wear of the floor covering, the function of partitions and ramps, and the standard Sprinter technology with turbodiesel and braking system; body parts are supplied by Spier itself, while chassis technology runs through the Mercedes-Benz dealer network.
