2016 Shadow 2HBP 2 Horse Float

Shorter, lighter and simpler than its 2STW stablemate, this Shadow 2HBP is the two horse float for owners who want the aluminium build and the escape door without carrying five metres of float behind them.

A 3.96 m box, an aluminium floor, 2.24 m of interior height and around 1,270 kg unladen.

Weight is a safety feature

A lighter float is a float your tow vehicle is genuinely comfortable with — better braking, better stability in a crosswind, less strain on everything. At approximately 1,270 kg unladen, this one leaves real headroom under most mid-size tow ratings once two horses and gear are aboard. Do the arithmetic against your own vehicle’s plated figures.

What “clean as new” should mean to you

A float that presents well has usually been stored under cover and used by someone who cared. That correlates with maintenance, but it does not prove it. Ask for service history on the bearings and brakes, and have the floor lifted regardless of how good the paint looks.

Imported US-market stock. Australian Design Rule compliance, registrability, roadworthiness and livestock welfare-code suitability have not been assessed for this float, and none of them is claimed here. Track a placed order through order tracking.
