Apitong Shiplap Trailer Flooring

We offer shiplap trailer flooring in Angelim Pedra and Apitong, also known as Keruing. This solid wood plank material is available in lengths from 8' to 18'. The most common face width is 7" and our material is run with a 3/8" shiplap, making it 7-3/8" overall.

We can source other custom sizes as well and generally have access to 5" face shiplap material, nail strips and can provide custom patterns as required.

LTF - Laminated Truck Flooring

Laminated truck flooring is available in tropical hardwood from Southeast Asia, typically made from a mix of medium to medium high density species of wood. It is laminated from strips of narrow, short material and can be either hook jointed or fingerjointed on the ends of the individual pieces. The maximum length of imported LTF is just under 40' since that is the longest piece that will fit in a standard ocean container.

LTF is also available in domestic species like Red and White Oak. There are a number of high quality manufacturers in the United States. This LTF is edge glued and end glued from individual strips of hardwood.

Laminated truck flooring should never be used on a flatbed trailer. It is designed exlusively for use in dry vans and should not be left exposed to the weather. It is common for manufacturers to undercoat the laminated trailer floor with a wax or polyurethane coating.

Heavy Duty, Drop Deck, Low Boy - Rough Lumber Trailer Flooring

For heavy duty applications, tropical hardwood lumber in such species as Purpleheart, Greenheart, Angelim Pedra, Tatajuba and Apitong / Keruing offer the best durability and life expectancy. With a Janka Side Hardness as much as two times that of White Oak, these tropical hardwoods will perform in the toughest conditions.

We specialize in sourcing custom sizes including specified length timbers. Let us know what you need.

We will be stocking 6/4x8, 2x8, 2x12, 3x12 and 4x12 in rough hardwood beginning in the Spring of 2009 at our West coast warehouses.

S4S E4E Boards, Bullnose Tie Down Slats, Side Rack Material

Many different types of woods will perform well for industrial S4S applications. We have 1x3, 1x4 and 1x6 in many different hardwoods available for prompt shipment. These solid hardwood S4S products can be run to custom patterns as well if you need something specialized. We stock solid random length products from 4' to 20' and fingerjointed products above 20'.

Note that pre-drilling is required in the higher density woods such as Ipe, Cumaru, and Massaranduba. Medium density species such as Meranti and Cambara do not require pre-drilling, which will make for much quicker installation procedure.

Scuff Liner Boards

Scuff liner boards are generally a 1x12 with one edge beveled at a 45 degree angle. This material is usually end and edge glued from mixed tropical hardwoods with lengths up to 24'. We can also provide 1x6 which is less expensive and can be placed two high on the bottom edge of the interior of the trailer.
