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, T&G tongue and groove material, and any custom patterns 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 trailer floor with a wax based substance such as the polyurethane (PUR) coating
offered by Rockland.
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.
