PerformAir Vent - Solves Horse Transport Pollution Problems

Published on Thursday, June 16, 2011 in General

Did you know that as you drive around millions of harmful particles enter your truck, trailer or float, and are a major reason your animals arrive at their destinations fatigued, stressed, and dehydrated.  Dust aggravated by heat, humidity, dirt, pollen and exhaust fumes also contribute to respiratory diseases that may permanently impair your animal’s future performance ability. PerformAir Vent has been designed to prevent these problems.

What is a PerformAir Vent?  The PerformAir Vent is a revolutionary new ventilation system designed and tested in Australia for Australian animal transport conditions.

How does it work? As an air vent, it sits on the roof on an animal transport vehicle, such as a horse float, alpaca float or dog trailer. The PerformAir Vent collects roadside air as the vehicle moves and delivers clean filtered air into the animals cabin.

What are the benefits? The PerformAir Vent has been designed to solve the problem of polluted air, bugs, dust, dirt, exhaust fumes and other harmful particles that enter the cabin of the animal transport vehicle.

  • Greater air flow

Air movement is essential to reduce heat, moisture, ammonia and exhaust fumes.

CFD modelling shows that complete air exchange in a standard two horse float occurs every 49 seconds.

  • Filtered air

Removes harmful particles from the air that may contribute to dehydration and respiratory problems.

Prevents rocks, bugs and other debris from entering the float that may irritate or stress transported animals.

  • Works in all weather conditions.

Vent remains open rain, hail or shine.

No need to interrupt transport to close.

  • Aerodynamic aesthetic appearance.

Reduced drag and attractive new look for your float or trailer

  • Easy to install and maintain.

Suits all vehicles.

No moving parts or electrics.

  • Robust construction

Made from strong UV stabilised polypropylene.

Resists damage from hail and debris.


What is a PerformAir Filter? A replaceable cabin air filter that slides into the PerformAir Vent.  Made from high quality pleated paper material the PerformAir Filter is effective in removing 99% of contaminants from the air.

These contaminants include dust, dirt, pollen, bacteria, fungus spores, soot & other harmful particles that affect the health, welfare and performance of your animals.

PerformAir Filters simply slide in and out of the PerformAir Vent and are replaceable every 3-6 months.

What vehicle does it suit?

  • Horse float
  • Alpaca float
  • Dog trailer
  • Horse transport truck
  • Other transport trucks
  • Caravans

How is it installed?
1. A template is used to mark the position of the PerformAir Vent on the roof of the animal transport vehicle.
2. Hole is cut and screw holes drilled.
3. PerformAir Vent is placed in the hole and secured with 11 screws and silicone. (Template & screws are supplied with product).
