Horsebox & Trailer Matting: What You Need to Know

Preparation is key. Knowing the following details before you order will save time and help us recommend the most suitable matting for your needs.

1. Measurements

Accurate measurements are essential.

We stock rubber matting in widths up to 2.4 metres, allowing us in many cases to supply single-sheet rubber flooring with no joins — improving strength, hygiene, and longevity.

If you have your measurements ready, we can:

• Advise you over the phone

• Provide a fast online quotation

• Recommend the most suitable mat thickness and type

2. Payload Considerations

Payload is a critical factor for all horseboxes and trailers.

Different matting materials vary in weight. If you can provide your vehicle’s payload capacity, we can:

• Recommend lightweight or heavy-duty options

• Advise on weight increases or reductions

• Help you balance durability with legal payload limits

3. Floor & Ramp Inspection (Most Important)

Before installing new horsebox flooring, always inspect the condition of your existing floor and ramp.

If the surface is:

• Rotten

• Weak

• Corroded

• Structurally compromised

It must be repaired or replaced before further use. Unsafe flooring presents serious safety risks.

If you are unsure, contact a qualified horsebox or trailer specialist to inspect the vehicle before proceeding.

4. Other Considerations

• Size and weight of your horse or pony

• Frequency of travel

• Length of journeys

• Commercial vs private use

These factors will influence the best type of rubber or EVA matting for your vehicle.

Ramp Matting

Weight is particularly important when replacing horsebox ramp matting.

If the new material is significantly heavier than the original, you may need to adjust or tighten ramp springs to compensate. In most cases, replacement is like-for-like, but we are happy to discuss the best options with you before ordering.

Wall Matting

When choosing horsebox wall matting, ask yourself what level of protection you require.

• EVA wall matting – Lightweight, excellent impact protection, minimal impact on payload

• Solid rubber wall matting – Heavier but more durable, ideal for commercial transport companies and high-wear environments

Your choice will depend on whether weight saving or maximum durability is the priority.
