2023 Shadow 2HSSR 2 Horse Angle Load Float with Side Ramp

A 5.03 m box on a 1.93 m wide body is an unusual set of proportions — long and narrow. It gives each horse generous fore-and-aft room in a two horse float that still fits through a standard farm gate, which is a combination most manufacturers do not offer.

All-aluminium construction, 2.29 m of interior height, and a pressure-treated timber floor.

Long and narrow, and why

Bay length determines whether a horse can stand square and balance; external width determines where you can take the float. A 5.03 m box on a 1.93 m body prioritises the first without sacrificing the second. It is a sensible design if your horses are long-backed but your access is tight.

Reading the gross weight figure

The 2,700 kg gross figure quoted is the US manufacturer’s rating. Subtract the tare and the remaining allowance is modest for two horses plus gear. That is worth understanding before purchase, and it is exactly the kind of number an Australian compliance assessment would look at. Do not assume it translates.
