Buying guide · 8 min read · By Wes, EuroFloat

Quick answer

There are some good horse float brands in Australia, but the best float for you comes down to four things you should check on every brand: honest tare weights, a warranty that's actually honoured, what's included as standard, and real value for money. On all four, we believe EuroFloat leads the market. It's why we sell over 350 floats a year and why so many owners call EuroFloat Australia's most trusted horse float brand.

The best horse float brands in Australia

G'day, Wes here. Australia has a good choice of horse float brands, and plenty of horse floats for sale. Here's my take on the leading names. Yes, I've put EuroFloat first. I'm biased, but I'll show you why, and I'll give you the questions to ask so you can check every brand for yourself.

Whichever brands you're looking at, run them through the four checks below.

Check 1: Is the tare weight real?

Tare weight is what the float weighs empty. It decides whether your vehicle can legally tow the float once your horses, water and gear are on board. Get it wrong and you could be over your ATM or your vehicle's GCM without knowing, which is unsafe, illegal and can give your insurer grounds to refuse a claim.

EuroFloat tare weights are correct. What's on our compliance plate is what the float weighs.

When you compare floats, be wary if a bigger float, built from the same materials, claims a lighter tare weight. Physics doesn't usually work that way. Ask the seller:

  • Is the tare on the compliance plate the float's actual weight, as built?
  • Does it include the options and upgrades on this float?
  • Can I see it weighed on a weighbridge?

We're happy to put any EuroFloat on a weighbridge. Read more about ATM and GCM

Check 2: Is the warranty honoured?

Every brand will tell you about its warranty. The real question is what happens when you make a claim. At EuroFloat, we honour our warranty, and a real person handles your claim from start to finish. We usually respond within 48 hours.

Before you buy any brand, ask around. Talk to owners at Pony Club and shows, read Google reviews about after-sales service, and ask in local horse groups how warranty claims were handled. You'll learn more from other owners than from any brochure. Read our warranty guide

Check 3: What's included as standard?

A low advertised price can grow quickly once you add the extras. Many items that other brands charge extra for come standard on a EuroFloat.

When you get a quote from any brand, ask for the drive-away price with everything you need, and check whether these are included or extra:

  • Breakaway safety unit
  • Aluminium flooring and its warranty
  • Escape door, tack room fit-out and saddle racks
  • Padding, windows and ventilation
  • 240V power, fridge and microwave on camper floats
  • Delivery and registration

Then compare like with like. See EuroFloat prices explained

Check 4: Bang for your buck

Value isn't just the cheapest price. It's what you get for every dollar, and what you get back when you sell. With EuroFloat you get:

  • More included as standard
  • Honest tare weights, so you can tow what you buy
  • A warranty that's honoured, with Australia-wide repairer support
  • Strong resale value. EuroFloats are sought after second-hand. Read new vs second-hand
  • Finance through iCREDIT, with terms up to 7 years

The original, not the copy

EuroFloat was the first to bring the square nose float and aluminium flooring to the Australian horse float market. Look around today and you'll see those ideas across the market. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there's only one original. When you buy a EuroFloat, you get the float that set the standard.
