Yes. The design is based on the principles of Westfalia in Germany and Denmark, which has been around for 20-25 years in Europe

Since the early 90's.

Yes,Spares are held in stock.

Ultimate 340 - Weighs 780kg without matting and approximately 900kg with matting.

Xtenda 440 - Weighs 1050kg with matting.

Both models are lighter than most floats on the market. This is due to the fibreglass body and the chassis, which is folded plate instead of the standard box section.

They are adjustable from 2m to 1750 cm

It is 1650mm. Two Clydesdale horses can fit inside with no problem.

Ultimate 340 - The height is 2300mm.

Xtenda 440 - The height is 2340mm.

Both models are taller than most floats and most trucks. A 17/18 hand horse can easily fit and if they kick back when loading they wont hit their head.

The float is 2800mm from the bottom of the tyres to the top of the roof.

Ultimate 340 - 3400mm

Xtenda 440 - 4400mm

Ultimate 340 - From the towball to the end of the vehicle is 5 metres.

Xtenda 440 - From the towball to the end of the vehicle it is 6 metres.

These are longer than most floats and means that it tows better and is easier to reverse.

It is 50mm.

It is a fully sealed 3mm Marine grade Aluminum floor. The inside is like a bathtub with a drain hole at the front. This means that there are no joints or seams, so moisture can't collect and therefore the chassis wont rust.

4 layers of glass, plus 12mm of hardwood marine grade ply then fibreglassed on the inside. If a horse kicks the sides of the float, there will be no damage. The average float on the market is made of straight plywood.

It will only get damaged in a vehicle accident and can be repaired easily at the Trailux workshop or by a local boat builder.

It is 16mm thick solid rubber matting. The mat is fully removable. It can be taken out or left in when the float is washed out.

10mm Non slip rubber. The base is 5mm marine grade aluminum.

They are 14 inch but have the same running diameter as a 15-inch tyre. This means that they are much cheaper to replace when the time comes.

Yes, hot dipped.

Yes. They double as the quick release mechanism for the chest bar. We can also add 2 more at the rear of the float if required.

Yes, there is a loop on the quick release of the chest bar.

It is about 1.5metres cubed. It can fit at least 4 or 5 saddles.

Yes,A larger type of rack which is not mounted on the door can be fitted.

It works off auxiliary power from the tow vehicle or wired into tail lights. The light has its own switch.

Yes, we can do that as an optional extra. The idea behind not having one in our standard design is to avoid horses getting startled by oncoming traffic.

It is an extra, and carries 32 ltrs of Water. We can also supply bigger tanks if required.

Yes, we can install a 12-volt pump

It comes in White with pin striping of your Colour choice. We can do other colours at an additional cost, but we recommend lighter colours for both maintenance and heat purposes.

There is an intake vent at the front and a second vent at the rear of the roof( Xtenda 440 has 3 vents). When the float is closed up, there is also a gap between the tailgate and the upper hatch. On a particularly hot day, you can travel with the upper hatch up. Additional rotary vents can be added if required

It has a mechanical override giving you 3000kg braking capacity with an auto release system. Which means that you don't have to get out of the car when reversing. It also has a brake away system.

As well as it does loaded. This is because of the BPW rubber suspension axle system with 4 wheel shock absorbers. Also, the aerodynamic shape makes the float more wind resistant.

Yes. We have had very few problems with them. They are not standard struts like on a motor vehicle, but are specially designed high pressure struts. Thus, if a horse kicks the tailgate, it can't fly back. The hydraulic system controls all movement. There are service agents all over New Zealand.

Any 4WD will pull the float easily and other vehicles from a 3 litre petrol car upwards will have no problem.

The price actually depends on your requirements and individual finishing touches. Can you tell me a bit about your needs, distances to be travelled, how your horse loads etc.

There is a 2-3 week lead-time on the construction of a float. This depends on present stock.

If you tell me where you are based, I will organise for you to see one.
