2010 Calico 2 Horse Float

About this unit

The 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float is part of our two horse trailers range, held for sale and hire from our Queensland depot, delivered Australia-wide. Every unit is inspected before it leaves the yard: doors swung, seals checked, floor sounded and the frame photographed as found. Delivery is quoted against your postcode and site access, and we tell you before you commit whether the truck can set the unit down where you want it. Modification is available on this unit — doors, windows, partitions, insulation, power and fit-out — quoted separately and built in our own workshop.

Hire is available for short and long terms, with the same inspection standard applied to hired units as to sold ones.

2010 Calico 2 Horse Float is a float listed as an individual unit rather than a made-to-order line, held in the two horse trailers range and released from our Queensland yard for delivery to every state and territory in Australia.

Every listing on this page describes the actual unit. Condition is inspected and photographed before dispatch, the price shown is the 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float only with delivery quoted separately against your postcode, and nothing on the page is a stock claim we cannot stand behind.

Buying a 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float

The 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float is sold as an individual unit, inspected before dispatch and priced as listed. If you are weighing up a 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float against a newer or larger equivalent, the condition report and the access to your site matter more than the model year.

What to check on a float like this

The floor is the first thing to inspect and the most common failure. Sound it across the full span of every
bay, not just where the ramp lands. Soft spots, rot and delamination put a hoof through at speed. After the floor,
check the drawbar and the welds at the frame joins, then the ramps and latches, then the brakes and bearings
— those last two are serviceable items and they are where the money goes on a used float.

Towing and load

Check the float's ATM against your tow vehicle's rated capacity with the float loaded — horses, tack,
water and feed all add up, and an overloaded tow vehicle is both dangerous and frequently illegal. Confirm whether
the float is fitted with electric brakes and whether your vehicle has a controller. A float that tows well empty
can behave very differently with two horses and a full tack box aboard.

How it is inspected before dispatch

Every unit is opened and checked before it leaves the yard, not described from a listing. Doors are swung and
latched, seals are checked for compression, the floor is sounded across the span for soft spots, and the frame is
photographed as found — before a wash, not after. You see photographs of the actual unit before freight is
booked, so what turns up is what you agreed to buy.

Buying remotely

Most of these units are bought by people who never see the yard, and that is fine when the condition reporting
is honest. Ask for the inspection photos, get the grade confirmed in writing, and check whether the quoted price
includes delivery — a cheaper unit with freight excluded is frequently the more expensive purchase once the
truck is booked.

Getting it to you

The price shown is the 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float only. Delivery is quoted separately against your postcode and site access, and it
is the honest way to do it — a drop fifteen kilometres from the yard and a drop twelve hundred kilometres
away are not the same job. Units are released from our Queensland yard and delivered to every state and territory
in Australia. Queensland drops generally run on our own trucks; interstate moves on scheduled freight, with the
booked window and carrier details confirmed in writing before dispatch.

Tell us about tight gates, low branches and overhead lines when you ask for a price. If a tilt-tray cannot
reach the drop point, a crane or side-loader will, and knowing that up front is the difference between an accurate
quote and a second invoice.

Changes, fit-out and modification

Anything that needs cutting, welding, wiring or lining is done in our own workshop rather than subcontracted,
which is why we can tell you what a change will actually cost before you commit. Doors, windows, partitions,
insulation, power, plumbing and full fit-outs are all container modification work we
quote on the details of your job rather than off a price list.

Hire instead of buying

If the need is for the life of a project rather than forever, hiring is usually cheaper
and you do not carry the asset, the transport or the maintenance. Buy when the 2010 Calico 2 Horse Float is permanent, when you need a
specific configuration, or when the hire term would run past the purchase price. Short and long terms are both
available, and we will quote it against the same unit you are looking at here.
