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!).
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:
