A safe and optimally protected trailer floor

A safe and optimally protected trailer floor

Whether you use a trailer for animal transports, a mobile dining establishment, or sanitary purposes, you want to ensure the cargo is safely transported from A to B in the first case. In the second and third cases, it is essential to ensure user safety. Here’s how to achieve that (and keep the floor in top condition during this process!).

Existing trailer floors prone to damage

In body and trailer construction, plywood, concrete plywood, wooden planks, or aluminum are often used for the floor panels. This is a logical choice given their lightweight and compact nature. However, these substrates entail certain risks:

  • With the mentioned types of wood, there is a high risk of wood rot in damp conditions. This can lead to dangerous situations, as it is not always immediately visible and noticed, with all the consequences;
  • Corrosion can occur on aluminum floor profiles when the material is exposed to moisture, chemicals, and oxygen.

Moreover, replacement costs in case of damage can be substantial.

Durable solutions for trailer floors

For optimal protection, sustainability, and safety, it is advisable to provide wooden or aluminum substrates in trailers with a suitable finish:

  • For animal transports, a wear layer system is recommended, consisting of a primer, wear layer, and a topping material of your choice (available in granule sizes of 0.25-1mm, 1-3 mm, or 3-5 mm). This results in a super-strong, wear-resistant, and lightweight finish;
  • For food trucks, a primer with a PU, epoxy, or modified epoxy poured floor is recommended, finished with an anti-slip finish coat;
  • For sanitary trailers, a primer and epoxy slurry layer combined with a single or double-layer finish coat is recommended.

The benefits of our trailer floors

  • Good preservation of the underlying surface;
  • Flexible (high bending and tensile strength) and therefore suitable for moving surfaces;
  • Resistant to common cleaning agents;
  • Resistant to urine and feces (ideal for animal transports, including horse trailers);
  • Increased grip due to greater roughness of the surface.
