About Freeway
Freeway. Beautiful floats & trailers.
From humble beginnings, freeway floats & trailers is now a brand synonymous in the equestrian fraternity and specialist trailer industry.
A PROUD HISTORY SINCE 1980
Freeway launched in 1980 when Alan and Lyn Crabbe decided to design and build their daughter a plywood float to carry her first pony. Starting from the ground up, and including the roof mould which is still in use today, they built one float for the family and another one to sell, to help pay for the other. Initially named “Palimino” because of the gold and cream colouring, Freeway was born.
