Team Discovery protects all our manufactured horse trailers from ugly scratches and dings, with our ‘all-inclusive’ chequer plate product.
Tread plate was originally the name for any plate metal with a textured finish that increased friction reducing the chance of slippage when someone walked on it. Tread plate once had to be thick enough and tough enough to put up with a significant load. However, this aluminium material is now used in other applications where the textured finish is seen as desirable.
Discovery Horse Floats applies this tread metal as a complete wrap on all of our horse floats; front, sides and mud guards. This protective layer assists with any stone chips, crashes, bumps, knocks, as well as standing up to our more aggressive environment and of being outside for extended periods in all types of weather conditions.
Tread patterns come in different shapes, we use the the 5 bar pattern in our Melbourne factory, purely as an aesthetic look we prefer. The aluminium is easy to flex around our float curves and bends. The premium metal we use does not peel, flake or corrode.
Discovery’s use of stone guards not only provides a superior cosmetic finish of horse float, we aim to constantly up the anti with a commitment to a benchmark of excellent quality. All included in our standard build cost with no hidden extra charges.
