Roof restoration

This week we have been working on this tidy up for Rachel, we repainted the roof, replaced the stripes and signage with new ones, added 6 new roof vents and some new wheels and tyres all ready for the upcoming season,

Painted roof will eliminate those unsightly white streak marks down the side of your float for good.

A little piece of our work in one of Ballarat’s most beautiful locations!

If you’ve visited Lake Wendouree or the Ballarat Botanical Gardens recently, you may have noticed the redevelopment works taking place around the Fernery.

We recently had the pleasure of working with The Scape Artist on the stunning new entrance gates, taking care of the painting of the impressive 5.5m galvanised steel structures.

With their intricate fern frond detailing, these gates are certainly something a little different from our usual projects, and the finished result looks fantastic!

Officially opened on Friday by Mayor Cr Tracey Hargreaves, the gates are now in place and ready to be admired by visitors making their way into the gardens.

It’s pretty special knowing our work will be part of such a well-loved Ballarat landmark for years to come.

Reveal time!!

Not our usual Horse Float reveal but impressive just the same,

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been working hard on this 30 foot steel tipper for Bingham Agriculture. Full strip down and complete colour change to suit the fleet colours has definitely breathed a new lease of life into this tired looking workhorse. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with our local farmers in maintaining there equipment and just in time for harvest. Such a rewarding job for a hard days work we are super pleased with the result.

Thanks team for the support and looking forward to the next one, (Next Week) 🤙🤙

If you have equipment big or small that needs some refreshing please reach out and see how we can help you 🙏

IS YOUR FLOAT READY FOR FIRE SEASON?

With the warmer months approaching, now is a good time for all horse owners to start thinking about summer, and bushfire preparations.

We regularly see issues that you really wouldn’t want to discover on a day when you suddenly needed your float. They can sit for weeks or months between trips, so before summer really gets underway, it might be worth getting your float out, hooking it up and having a good look over it.

Some things to consider checking:

• Check the tyres — including the spare — and don’t rely on tread alone; consider their age and condition.
• Check your floor and ramp carefully for deterioration, rot or corrosion.
• Make sure the brakes, bearings, lights, plug, coupling, safety chains and breakaway system are working properly.
• Check that doors, dividers, chest and breaching bars open and move freely.
• Make sure you have the tools you’d need for changing a tyre, opening stuck dividers etc.
• Don’t store things in your float that you’ll have to move before you can use it. And make sure the float is easily accessible and not boxed in by other equipment

It’s also worth thinking beyond the float itself.

Can all of your horses load safely and reliably?

If you have more horses than spaces in your float, what would you do?

Do you know where you could take them?

What would you do if your usual route or destination wasn’t available?

Where are your halters, leads and other essentials?

It’s much easier to think about these questions now rather than during a stressful situation.

Hopefully, none of us ever need to put our emergency plans into action. But if your float is part of that plan, please take some time to make sure it’s ready.

Get it out, hook it up and have a good look over it. If you’re confident checking it yourself, great. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, ask someone knowledgeable to give you a hand or have it checked by your usual repairer — the important thing is that you don’t discover there’s a problem on the day you really need your float.
