Choosing the Right Float Matting for Your Needs
When it comes to selecting the ideal matting for your horse float, consider what aspects are most important to you and your animals.
If your priority is enhancing comfort, grip, and stability during travel while reducing stress and fatigue, start by covering your float or truck floor. Both WideRib and Hammerblow mats are excellent options, with Hammerblow offering added flexibility for different width floats or trucks.
For increased comfort and shock absorption, resulting in a smoother journey and reduced stress on your animals’ legs and joints, opt for floor float matting. This type of matting also minimizes road noise, is easy to clean, and provides additional protection to your float from wear and tear.
If you’re concerned about insulation, warmth, and preventing injuries from your horse moving about, consider starting with a wall lining like FlatMat.
To boost confidence for both horse and owner during loading and unloading by providing secure footing, prioritise RampMat for your ramp.
