AL-KO VT and Mooble House
Mobile and location-independent comfort – that is the motto of the Turkish tiny house manufacturer Mooble House. Based in Istanbul, the company has been producing its mini homes since 2019 for a range of uses. The portfolio includes not only tiny houses, but also tiny offices, tiny restaurants, and tiny cafés. All of these can be individually designed and configured. And not just for customers in Turkey, but also across Europe and even the Dominican Republic.
Expertise meets innovation in the tiny house industry
Mobile homes for the global market
The tiny houses from Mooble House are mounted on chassis with wheels, bridging the gap between the advantages of a house and the mobility of a caravan. In addition to the customer benefit of being able to take the comfort of their own four walls anywhere, this also makes delivery easier for the manufacturer. Products don’t require heavy articulated lorries for delivery—Mooble House simply tows the tiny house directly to its new owner.
AL-KO VT and Mooble House: mobility as a challenge
Safety and weight are key
But this very mobility presents the company with its greatest challenge. To ensure that a house on wheels can truly offer the promised sense of freedom, there are limits to how much freedom manufacturers can take in the design process. Each country has its own regulations, especially regarding road traffic safety and the weight of the tiny house.
It is up to the manufacturer to keep the total weight within a framework that is accepted across borders. Heavy interior fittings—for example, in tiny restaurants—can often push the weight above legal limits. Mooble House, for example, recommends that customers opt for smaller or lighter tiny house models if their planned interior is too heavy. Besides weight, local traffic regulations must be complied with – and they affect almost every aspect of the tiny house. Brakes, lights, shock absorbers—every component is subject to standards and regulations that decide where the mobile house is allowed on the road and where not.
AL-KO VT: experience for innovation
Combining existing expertise with new ideas
To meet these standards, Mooble House relies on the expertise of an experienced supplier who can provide all relevant parts in compliance with current regulations. With AL-KO VT, Mooble House has had a reliable partner from the very beginning.
“When we started planning our tiny houses in 2018, we looked for a reliable and experienced partner. AL-KO VT had already impressed us with its global reputation, and they offered the experience, compatibility, and standards we needed to turn our idea into a real product. Since then, a lot of time has passed and we have continuously developed. With AL-KO VT, we know we have a partner by our side who will continue to support our growth flexibly in the future,” says Orhun Şimşek, Business Development & International Sales Manager at Mooble House.
Together, Mooble House and AL-KO VT brought the first Mooble mobile house onto the roads in Turkey in 2019 as one of the very first tiny houses in the country.
Flexibility for the future: keeping pace with legislation
When it comes to the future of the tiny house industry, flexibility is key. While the sector is developing rapidly and the miniature homes are popular with customers, regulations and laws are not keeping pace. This means that the legislative process and therefore the design of tiny houses is still a fluid process, always bringing new changes and requirements. To remain competitive and future-oriented as a company, such requirements must be integrated into production workflows as quickly as possible.
AL-KO VT supplies Mooble House with everything needed to produce roadworthy, mobile, and safe tiny houses. All components always comply with current regulations and safety standards. Another major advantage apart from international conformity: AL-KO VT parts are compatible with Mooble House’s own chassis.
“With Mooble House, we have a young and innovative partner whose products pursue a future-oriented concept of mobility and comfort. Unfortunately, we see again and again that new ideas are slowed down by outdated regulations, and with tiny houses, it’s clear the regulatory structures are too slow to keep up with the trend. For us at AL-KO VT, it’s important to stand by our partners with our expertise—especially in such cases—and to use our decades of experience to make something new and innovative possible,” says Armanc Amac, Managing Director AL-KO VT Turkey.
