Do your Floats came with rego and wof?

Yes, if the Float is being bought by a limited liability company we can arrange registration or supply your NZTA number.
If the Float is being bought by a private individual you will need to register it yourself as the purchaser must present their ID. We can, however provide you with the forms you need and explain how to go about it. Once registered we can arrange the Wof.
Alternatively when you pick up your Float, we can have the paperwork ready and you can take it to VTNZ located near our sites. Registering and WoF can be done at AA, VINZ or VTNZ.

What does GVM mean?

Gross Vehicle Mass is the combined weight of Float (Tare) and Load (Payload).
As an Example: a trailer with a GVM: 2000kg would have a Tare of 450kg and Payload of 1550 kg.
GVM quoted is for normal road use. Any overloading will void all warranties.

Is a deposit required?

Do you offer Finance?

What is the flooring?

Most float manufacturers use Formply for their floors. Elite Floats are constructed with Film Faced Laminated Bamboo Ply which offers superior performance.

The Film Face surface coating provides resistance to moisture, abrasion and fungal attack. The Bamboo Laminate has high strength and is more resistant to decay or age related degradation than conventional Plywood or Formply products. Our 10mm thick Turtle Top rubber is the toughest wearing flooring rubber available, but at the same time providing a cushioned ride to protect your horses legs, tendon and joints.

What can I tow the Float with?

It is important that your tow vehicle is up to the task of towing your Float safely. The vehicle manufacturer will specify the GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) your vehicle can tow and your tow bar should be rated to the same weight.

What is the advantage of Electric Brakes?

Electric brakes provide smoother stopping than over-run brakes which rely on inertia of the Float to operate. Electric brakes eliminate the jerky braking when descending hills and the need to lock out the brakes when reversing.
While Electric brakes are a legal requirement for Floats over 2500kg GVM, we specify Electric Brakes for all models of Elite Floats because of their superior performance.

Do you have optional extras?

The Floats are highly specified as standard, however there are a range of modifications and extras that can be added. Floats with modifications will take longer to supply.

What are the stall widths?

These vary from Float to Float – please call us to discuss.
