Tournament cabinet

Saddle lockers are now also available as tournament lockers, in order to be able to store your riding accessories optimally and burglar-proof even when you are on the road. 

In this article, we will tell you some facts about the tournament wardrobe, how much space is inside and then present our tournament wardrobe models from the online shop. 

What are tournament cabinets?

Show lockers are saddle lockers designed for travelling and especially for shows. Show lockers are mobile tack rooms and are used to neatly store riding equipment such as saddles, bridles, blankets, etc. Most show lockers are made of steel or aluminium.

A show locker protects your riding equipment from dust and weather conditions and is equipped with wheels and a handle on each side for easy transport. Show lockers are also lockable and available in different sizes depending on the amount of riding equipment. You can also choose to buy a show locker with a top cabinet, protective tarpaulin or other extras.

How much space is there in tournament cabinets?

Show lockers have space for all the equipment you need for travelling. Depending on your needs and accessories, you can opt for a small tack locker with space for just one saddle and snaffle or a large tack locker with space for two saddles and several snaffles, for example.

The larger the tournament locker, the more compartments, drawers and extras are available in the locker. Additional equipment such as a mirror, a locker light, a locking brake or a lockable valuables compartment can be booked for many tournament lockers.

Tournament cabinet Mini

The mini tournament lockers from Alfako are available in the "Mini Economy" and "Mini" versions. The heights are 116 cm and 124 cm respectively in height and 65 cm in width. Although our mini tournament lockers do not have castors, they do have a handle on the locker. The handle makes it easy to load the cabinet onto a hand truck.

Both versions of the Mini show locker have two saddle holders and a pull-out snaffle rail with three plastic snaffle holders. The cabinet has two rubber wheels with a diameter of 160 or 200 mm and a spacious drawer. The Mini show lockers are made of steel or aluminium and are available in silver, green and blue or in silver only.

The tournament lockers in the "Midi" size are available in the "Midi Economy", "Midi Economy Inox", "Midi Inox", "Midi", "Midi Comfort" and "Midi Prestige" versions. The cabinets vary in height between 108.5 cm and 131.5 cm and have a width of 117.5 cm. All cabinets have a depth of 60 cm.

The midi versions of the tournament locker have three drawers and the larger ones also have an elongated, horizontal drawer. Depending on the size, there are either two or four handles on the midi show lockers as well as two extendable show locker rails with a total of six bridle holders. Each horsebox has four wheels (two swivel wheels with parking brake, two fixed wheels), which are either pneumatic or made of rubber. The diameter of these wheels varies between 160 and 200 mm.

The Inox models are made of high-quality stainless steel, which protects against corrosion, is very robust and also ensures the longevity of the tournament cabinet. The other Midi tournament lockers are made of steel or aluminium. All Midi cabinets can be ordered with a top cabinet for more storage space and a matching tarpaulin to protect against dust.

With our Maxi edition of the tournament wardrobes, we also distinguish between several variants: "Maxi Economy", "Maxi", "Maxi Comfort", "Maxi Comfort Safe Edition", "Maxi Prestige", "Maxi Plus", "Maxi Plus Western", "Maxi Plus Inox" and "Maxi Inox".

Each of the Maxi models has space for two saddles and, with the exception of Maxi Plus, is equipped with three bridle holder rails with 12 bridle holders each. All models have four handles for easy transport and four wheels with a diameter of 250 mm to 260 mm. In addition, both the Maxi and Maxi Plus, Maxi Plus Western, Maxi Plus Inox and Maxi Inox have an integrated mirror inside the cabinet.

If you want extra security at tournaments, then it's best to choose the Maxi Comfort Safe Edition. This locker is equipped in exactly the same way as the other tournament lockers, except that it is manufactured to be particularly burglar-proof. It is very robust and has thick doors and frames that resemble a safe. In this way, you can optimally protect your equipment against theft.

Which tournament cabinet is the right one?

Which tournament cabinet is right for you depends on various factors such as the amount of equipment, desire for extra equipment and budget. The place where you want to store the tournament cabinet also determines how big the tournament cabinet should be.

How much space do you need in your wardrobe, i.e. how much equipment do you have? Are six bridle holders enough for you or do you need 12? Are extras such as several drawers, a lockable valuables compartment and a mirror important to you or is simple equipment sufficient for you? How high is your budget?

Based on these criteria, you can choose the tournament cabinet that suits your needs. If you are not sure, feel free to contact us via the contact form on our website. We will help you find the perfect tournament cabinet for you.
