Our Web Site and Business Philosophy
We created this web site so that we can work with our truck trailer customers as directly as possible.
We believe in sharing as much information as possible about our products: where they come from, how they are made, the scientific properties of each and every wood species we sell, technical drawings and more.
Our pricing philosophy is simple: we import directly or we work with key trading partners who import and hold stocks for us.
We buy as competitively as possible, based on our years of experience, and we pass the savings on to you.
Any feedback you can offer will no doubt help us improve the web site and our business.
Specialty Industrial Components
Let us know what you need. We can source just about any specified product you
may want. We've done filler components for reefer trailers, nail strips, pre-drilled
and shaped components, and more.
Apitong Shiplap Trailer Flooring
We offer shiplap trailer flooring in Genuine Apitong, also known as Keruing.
This solid wood plank material is available in lengths from 8' to 24'. 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 for Truck Body and Dry Van Applications
Laminated truck flooring is available in tropical hardwood from Southeast Asia, and is typically
made from a mix of medium to medium high density species of wood. For use in truck body and dry van applications,
an Apitong floor 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 possible of imported LTF is just under 40' since
that is the longest piece that will fit in a standard ocean container.
Here at TrailerDecking.com, we do not carry laminated truck flooring in lengths over 32'. We only do tropical hardwoods.
Most trailer repair centers will have access to lengths longer than 32', typically made from Red or 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 trailer flooring should never be used on a flatbed trailer. A laminated Apitong floor is designed exlusively
for use in truck body applications and dry vans - and should never be left exposed to the weather. It is common for manufacturers
to undercoat the laminated truck body floor with a wax or polyurethane coating.
FAST SHIPPING
Anywhere in the US and Canada
From our strategically located warehouses, we can deliver your order quickly - generally within 7-10 days. Our specialty is servicing
customers who need material to re-deck a typical 48' flatbed with shiplap or rough Apitong.
You can order on-line from our web site and specify
the lengths you need for your trailer deck. Our product detail page includes detailed inventory availability on every product we sell.
Be sure to check our availability of lengths when specifying what you need.

How to Order
Heavy Duty, Drop Deck, Low Boy - Rough Apitong Lumber Trailer Flooring
For heavy duty applications, tropical hardwood lumber in such species as
Purpleheart, Greenheart, Angelim Pedra, Tatajuba and Keruing / Genuine Apitong 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.
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.
