📍FOR SALE ON BEHALF - 2013 Thoroughbred Classic DLX – Priced to Sell at $13,500

View all photos online here: www.thoroughbredfloats.co.nz/for-sale-on-behalf

A great opportunity to purchase a 2 Horse Straight Load Thoroughbred Classic DLX at an affordable price, with plenty of potential for someone happy to give it a little TLC.

This 2013 model is finished in gold and comes with all the popular Classic DLX features, as well as additional features of aluminium ramp with rubber, protective grilles over the two front side windows and LED lights. It has a current WOF through to August 2027 and is all registered.

A little about its condition, hence price:
This float arrived with a current WOF, however during our pre-sale inspection, we've identified several areas that require attention: the suspension rockers and bushes requiring replacement, wheel bearings requiring adjustment, repairs to the upper aluminium ramp area, centre divider reinforcement, replacement or recovering of damaged padding, and some localised rust around the front windows.

Available for viewing at Thoroughbred Horse Floats, Tuakau.

🐎 More Than Just Horse Floats – Take a Tour of Our Factory.

When people hear Thoroughbred, they usually just think horse floats. And yes, we build some of the best in the country. But there's so much more happening inside our workshop.

We've put together a tour showing the true diversity of what we do here – and we think you'll be surprised.

Inside the factory you'll find:
• Truck repairs and servicing
• Paint work and refinishing
• Custom builds from the ground up
• Agricultural machinery modifications
• Engineering and fabrication
• Insurance repairs
• And yes, our world-class horse floats

We've got the skills, the equipment, and the team to take on projects most workshops wouldn't touch. If it's metal, mechanical, or custom, chances are we can build it, fix it, or make it better.

Whether you're a farmer needing machinery modified, a truckie needing repairs, or someone with a custom project in mind – we're the team to call.

Watch the tour and see for yourself.

📍From Concept to Reality – A Custom Built Race Car Trailer.

This is what happens when a client comes to us with a vision and a dream.

We sat down with him, designed the trailer together, and then brought that vision to life – every detail, every measurement, every feature built to his exact specifications.

This custom race car trailer is the result: a purpose-built solution that fits his needs perfectly because it was designed around them.

Have you got a dream trailer in mind?

Whether it's for racing, commercial use, a specialised work setup, or something completely unique – our team has the skills, experience, and workshop to make it happen.

We don't just sell trailers. We design, engineer, and custom build solutions from the ground up. You bring the idea. We bring it to life.

Get in touch with the team to discuss your project.
