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
With a legacy that spans over four decades, Freeway has built its reputation on quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. Founded by Alan and Lynn Crabb, Freeway was born from a simple belief: New Zealand horse owners deserved a float that was not only functional but safe, stylish, and built to last. His hands-on approach and relentless focus on quality set the standard for every float that followed.
That same DNA lives on today. In fact, two of the original engineering team who worked alongside Alan are still with us — helping to guide and mentor the next generation of float builders. Their commitment to excellence is woven into every weld, panel, and finish.
