Since then Pegasus has proudly manufactured an extensive range of quality floats, truck bodies and special application vehicles. Pegasus maintains strict quality control over all aspects of construction by personally performing all work in its own premises, with the exception of living area facilities which are produced for Pegasus by one of Australia's leading motor home manufacturers.<br> <br> This personal touch guarantees that every float, truck body or special application vehicle is custom-built to meet the customers' individual needs, for everything from weekend eventing to long-distance transport for some of Australia's most valuable Thoroughbreds to floats fitted with the latest high-tech equipment. In every case, our goal has been to build something more than just a safe, reliable means to transport livestock.<br> <br> We have also built ourselves a reputation for excellence by always building Pegasus Floats, Truck Bodies and Special Application Vehicles up to a standard not down to a price.<br> <br> To ensure that all Pegasus products do the jobs they're built for, today and for long into the future, we pay exceptional attention to detail, from the basic design to the superb, fade-resistant finish that is now a hallmark of the Pegasus name. Our commitment to quality has paid off and our products are now widely regarded as the best of their kind.<br> <br> Our name is trusted around Australia by industry professionals and by owners who demand the best for themselves and their horses.
