Trailers/Floats

[jeeve]

Do you generally have straight load trailers/floats in the UK, or do you mostly have angle load trailers/floats?

We always used to have straight load floats, (and still do), but now the in thing in Australia is angle load. (If you do not have a truck).

ANGLE & STRAIGHT TRAILERS/FLOATS
Never seen an angled one in the UK

Fautrus horse trailers do angled loads

And Titan trailers

Speaking on behalf of the UK.....

I think we mostly opt for smaller trailers in order to keep the weight as low as possible. Not many people have a Dodge Ram to tow with

Anything higher weight, we normally opt for a horsebox instead.

That is interesting, although you can get light floats that are angled here. My two horse straight load is about 900-950 kgs and a 3 horse angle load basic model is 1150 kgs - so not a lot more. They get heavy though if you have lots of extras. You guys in the UK seem to have a lot of good small horse trucks, which, we do not. We do have lots of trucks, but not small reasonably priced ones.
