Horse Float Servicing & Repairs in Bunbury
Servicing, safety inspections, mechanical repairs and fabrication work for horse floats, from brakes, bearings and suspension through to structural repairs, tailgates and modifications.
Horse Float Servicing, Repairs & Fabrication
A horse float needs more than an occasional tyre check. Brakes, bearings, suspension, flooring, wiring and structural components all need to be maintained properly, especially when the float is regularly travelling regional roads or carrying horses long distances.
We handle both the mechanical and fabrication side of horse float work, from routine servicing and safety inspections through to repairs, structural work, tailgates and modifications.
Horse Float Mechanical & Structural Repairs
Horse floats take a lot of punishment from road travel, loading, weather and regular use. When something starts to wear, crack, loosen or fail, it can quickly become a safety issue for both the horse and the tow vehicle.
We carry out mechanical, structural and general repair work across a wide range of horse floats, including:
Floor and chassis inspections and repairs
Brake and suspension servicing
Wheel bearings and running gear
Electrical wiring and lighting repairs
Rust and structural welding repairs
Tailgate repairs, replacements and modifications
Gas strut replacement
Internal padding, lining and safety repairs
Tyres and general mechanical maintenance
Because we have both mechanical and fabrication capability in-house, we can deal with problems that cross over between the running gear and the structure of the float without automatically sending the job elsewhere.
Horse Float Modifications & Upgrades
Sometimes the float itself is sound, but the setup no longer works as well as it should.
Our fabrication capability allows us to modify and improve existing horse floats to make them safer, more practical and better suited to how you use them.
Modifications and upgrades can include:
Tailgate repairs and modifications
Structural alterations and reinforcement
Internal dividers and fabricated components
Storage and practical layout improvements
Padding, lining and safety improvements
Repairs or replacement of damaged fabricated components
Custom modifications to suit your float and horses
Whether you are fixing an existing problem or changing the float to work better for you, we can assess what is practical and discuss the options before fabrication begins.
Preparing Your Horse Float for Sale
If you’re preparing a horse float for sale, addressing known faults and maintenance issues before it goes on the market can make the process much easier.
We can inspect the mechanical and structural condition of the float, identify repairs that need attention and complete the agreed work before you advertise or hand it over to a buyer.
Pre-sale work can include:
Brake, bearing and suspension servicing
Lighting and electrical repairs
Floor and structural inspections
Tailgate and ramp repairs
Tyres and running gear
Welding and fabrication repairs
General mechanical and safety checks
If the float needs additional work before sale, we’ll explain what we’ve found and what is worth addressing.
Trailer & Gooseneck Repairs
Our mechanical and fabrication capability also extends to general trailers and goosenecks that need servicing, mechanical repairs or structural work.
Depending on the trailer and the work required, we can assist with:
Wheel bearings
Tyres
Wiring and lighting
Electric brakes
Axles, brakes and suspension
Welding and fabrication repairs
Structural reinforcement and repairs
Tailgates, ramps and fabricated components
Whether it needs routine maintenance, a mechanical repair or fabrication work, we can assess the trailer and advise what is required.
