Restoring a Horse Treadmill to Full Working Order

We were called to a site to assess a horse treadmill that had become unusable, negatively impacting the condition of the horses. Understanding the urgency, the Hoverdale team quickly mobilised, sending our experienced engineers to investigate the issue.

With their expertise in conveyor systems and mechanical repairs, our engineers quickly identified the key problems:

– The bed needed replacing
– The drive drum required lagging
– A new conveyor belt had to be fitted

Our team worked efficiently, using precision engineering and high-quality materials to ensure the treadmill was restored to optimum performance. Thanks to their dedication and technical expertise, the repairs were completed quickly, minimising downtime and getting the treadmill back into action.

At Hoverdale, we take pride in our skilled and committed engineers, who are experts in diagnosing and fixing conveyor system issues across a wide range of industries. Whether it’s a specialised piece of equipment like a horse treadmill or a large-scale industrial conveyor, our team delivers high-quality, reliable solutions that stand the test of time.

With the treadmill fully operational again, our customer was delighted, and most importantly, their horses were able to train safely and comfortably once more.
