FELK Horse Float Repairs
FELK has been performing horse float repairs for the greater Hunter for over half a decade.
With Scone being the equestrian capital of NSW, training centres throughout Gloucester, and nearby racecourses like Randwick and Hamilton, many horse breeders and trainers trust FELK Engineering at Warner’s Bay to service and repair their floats.
We also provide related services such as registration checks, new parts, engineering certifications, modifications & more. Consider us your one stop float repair shop!

Horse Float Repair FAQ
-
Can you provide horse-float registration, including blue and pink slips?
Yes. Please visit our registration & inspection page to learn more.
-
Will my float be 100% roadworthy after repairs?
Yes. Everything that leaves our workshop is fully RMS and ADR compliant. Safety is our focus here at FELK.
-
What tyre pressure should I use with my horse float?
As a general guideline, light truck tyres should be inflated to approximately 45 PSI.
-
What type of flooring do you use and can it be damaged?
If we are replacing a floor, we typically use a heavy plywood. We use plywood, not metal, to increase the grip for the horse.
Sometimes, people may install a rubber matt (or request FELKS to supply one) for even more traction.
Over time, horse hooves and urine will inevitably damage the floor. We do our best to make a robust solution. We have seen our plywood floors last over 10 years, however, that’s not guaranteed.
-
How can corrosion-damage on horse-float trailers be improved?
The primary strategy is to have the body/chassis built or repaired using hot dipped galvanized steel.
For horse-floats that have been created using regular steel with paint, the horse urine will quickly erode the paint and lead to rust.
