Trailer floor materials

I second the marine ply.

Im a chippy and i have often seen wbp (far eastern) ply de laminate after being left outside for just a couple of days.

I would go for marine ply paint with some anti slip paint if it was my trailer.

davidlandy:
Marine ply is good but wisatrans is better for the purpose.  I spec trailers and used most types of floor from ally- through to birch

wisatrans....what it is

LiftedDisco:
I would agree with Dave - phenolic ply is superb stuff.

We use it for cassette floor systems and rate it at 500kgs per m2 (rating includes the subframe for the floor system..)

If you only want something that will stand up to occasional use with anti-slip properties, you could use marine ply and then finish it with Sandtex or similar external masonry paint with added gritty bits.

Cheap to apply periodically, and will give superb non-slip properties

carbore:
Ill have a look for some wistrands, main issue is it may get knackered wiht stuff on it despite its strength so a "sacrificial" ply floor may be the way to go.

bullfrog:
£38 for 18mm marine ply ! WHERE ???
Dear round our way.
That would be my choice as most PRO car trailers use this.

Ally chequer is ok but would need decent marine ply underneath .
