Installation Guidelines
Trailer Preparation: Clean trailer floor thoroughly, removing all debris, old matting, and moisture. Ensure floor is structurally sound.
Measuring & Cutting: Measure trailer dimensions accurately. Allow for wheel arch cut-outs and partition posts. Cut matting with sharp knife.
Fitting Process: Start at front of trailer, working towards ramp. Ensure tight fit around obstacles and no trip hazards.
Securing Method: Use trailer-specific fixings or industrial velcro where movement is possible. Most installations require no permanent fixings.
Drainage Considerations: Ensure trailer drainage holes remain clear. Position matting to direct water flow appropriately.
Maintenance & Hygiene
Daily Cleaning: Remove solid waste immediately. Rinse with clean water after each journey.
Deep Cleaning: Use pressure washer and approved equine disinfectants. Allow complete drying before next use.
Routine Inspection: Check for damage, excessive wear, or loose edges that could pose safety risks.
Storage: Store clean and dry. Roll loosely to prevent permanent creasing if removed from trailer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness is recommended for horse trailers?
For horse trailers, we recommend 9mm thickness for optimal comfort and durability. This provides excellent impact absorption while maintaining structural integrity under heavy horses. 6mm is suitable for lighter horses and ponies.
How does this flooring help reduce transport stress?
The studded surface provides secure footing, reducing anxiety from slipping. The cushioning effect reduces joint stress and vibration transfer, while the non-slip properties allow horses to balance naturally during cornering and braking.
Is this suitable for all types of horses?
Yes, our horse trailer flooring is designed for all equines from Shetland ponies to heavy draught horses. The load capacity exceeds requirements for even the heaviest breeds, while the surface texture suits all hoof types.
How easy is it to clean and disinfect?
Very easy. The non-porous rubber surface can be pressure washed and treated with any standard equine disinfectant. The raised dot pattern actually aids drainage and prevents liquid pooling, making hygiene maintenance simple.
