AL-KO VT and Mooble House
Mobile and location-independent comfort – this is the motto of the Turkish tiny house manufacturer Mooble House. Based in Istanbul, the company has been producing its miniature houses for a range of uses since 2019. In addition to tiny houses, the portfolio also includes tiny offices, tiny restaurants and tiny cafés. These can be individually configured and designed – not only for customers from Turkey but also from across Europe and even the Dominican Republic.
Expertise meets innovation in the tiny house sector
Mobile houses for the global market
The tiny houses from Mooble House are assembled on chassis with wheels, thus bridging the gap between the advantages of a house and the mobility of a caravan. Alongside the benefit for customers of being able to take the comfort of their own four walls wherever they go, this solution also makes it easier for the manufacturer to deliver its products. Instead of relying on heavy articulated lorries, Mooble House simply tows the tiny house to its new owner.
AL-KO VT and Mooble House: Mobility as a challenge
Safety and weight are key factors
However, this very mobility presents the company with its greatest challenge. For a house on wheels to deliver on the promise of freedom, one cannot afford too much freedom at the design stage. Different countries have different rules for road use that must be followed – especially in relation to road safety and the weight of the tiny house.
It is up to the manufacturers to keep the gross weight within a framework that will be accepted internationally. This is particularly true for tiny restaurants, as heavy kitchen interiors often push the weight over the limit. Mooble House, for example, recommends that its customers opt for smaller or lighter tiny house models if the interior is too heavy. In addition to weight, local traffic regulations must also be complied with. These affect virtually every element of the tiny house – from the brakes and lights to the shock absorbers – with standards and regulations applying to each component, deciding where the mobile house can legally go on the road and where it cannot.
AL-KO VT: Experience drives innovation
Combining expertise with fresh ideas
To meet these requirements, Mooble House relies on the expertise of an experienced supplier capable of providing all relevant components in accordance with the applicable regulations. Since day one, Mooble House has had a dependable partner in AL-KO VT.
“When we began our first tiny house projects in 2018, we were looking for a reliable and experienced partner. AL-KO VT convinced us with its global reputation and offers the experience, compatibility, and standards we needed to turn our idea into a real product. A lot has happened since then and we have continued to grow. With AL-KO VT, we have a partner at 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 mobile Mooble House onto Turkish roads back in 2019 – one of the first in Turkey.
Flexibility for the future: keeping pace with legislation
When it comes to the future of the tiny house industry, flexibility is crucial. The sector may be developing rapidly and the miniature houses are popular with customers, but regulations and legislation are not evolving at the same pace. As a result, legislation—and thus tiny house design—is currently a fluid process, with constant changes and new requirements. To remain competitive and forward-looking as a company, such requirements must be integrated into production processes as quickly as possible.
AL-KO VT supplies everything Mooble House needs to produce roadworthy, mobile and safe tiny houses – always in conformity with current regulations and safety requirements. The major advantage, alongside international compliance: AL-KO VT parts are compatible with Mooble House’s own chassis.
“With Mooble House, we have a young and innovative partner whose products follow a forward-looking concept of mobility and comfort. Unfortunately, we continue to see new ideas challenged by traditional regulations, and the tiny house market in particular shows how slow structures are to adapt to this trend. For us at AL-KO VT, it is vital to use our expertise and many years of experience to help our partners innovate, especially in such cases,” says Armanc Amac, Managing Director AL-KO VT Turkey.
