Trailer floor materials

(1/3) > >>

carbore:
I have a car transporter/plant trailer that I may re-floor as the current stuff (aly plate in 2 strips, roughly cut and mixed types) is a bit rubbishy.

The trailer is around a 2.8ton rating (based on hitch and construction as its not stamped), its main job will be taking my Elise (750kg) out to sprints, but also it has already brought my Grey Fergie home (1.2 ton?) and mybee a rally or something and may have to take my Series 3 to the fixers (or scrap yard). It also gets used for lugging farm implements like a harrow/topper and picking up antique furniture from auctions and other stuff like building materials etc.

Now the question is.


* Would 9mm Marine ply be ok
Would 2-3 mm Ally chequer plate be ok/affordable
What about "rhino board" or something for a non slip on top?
*
Any other ideas (links to suppliers/examples appreciated)

I know that my voluntary group are getting a new beavertail lorry and that is having a wood base. Would, wood be an option? I think it will have grooves like decking wood for grip and was told it is lighter than metal base and easier to replace.

Devon-Rover:
Better to be a bit more over chunky than needed. 12 - 18 mill WBP ply should do the trick neatly.

davidlandy:
wisatrans

19mm will be just fine and has a grip pattern on it.

carbore:
Any ideas where to get Wisatrans from does it go by any other name. WBP looks a good alternative.
