Are you outfitting your commercial vehicle and looking for a reliable, durable, and easy-to-install floor? This guide will help you make the right choice based on your usage, vehicle, and specific requirements.
Why install an anti-slip floor in your commercial vehicle?
The original floor of a commercial vehicle is often bare metal or covered with a basic coating. It has several daily drawbacks:
- Slippery surface, which is dangerous for cargo and people
- Increased road noise
- Accelerated corrosion due to moisture
- Rapid wear and tear of equipment placed directly on the metal
An anti-slip floor kit solves these problems in a single installation, without drilling or making irreversible modifications to the vehicle.
Essential criteria for making the right choice
1. Compatibility with your vehicle
Every commercial vehicle model has specific floor dimensions and geometry. A floor kit must be custom-made for your vehicle: Renault Trafic, Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumpy, Ford Transit, Volkswagen Transporter, Mercedes Vito, etc. Always check compatibility before purchasing.
2. Material
Professional-grade floors are generally made of birch plywood or composite, with an integrated anti-slip surface. Birch plywood offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for tradespeople and professionals.
3. Thickness
A thickness of 9 to 12 mm is recommended for professional use. For heavy-duty use, 15 mm provides a robust floor to which accessories can be attached.
4. Ease of installation
Opt for a kit system with pre-cut parts and clear instructions. A good floor kit should be installable without drilling, in under an hour, and without any specialized tools.
5. Strength and durability
Verify that the floor is treated against moisture and impact. A water-repellent treatment and protected edges ensure optimal longevity, even in difficult conditions.
Commercial vehicle floor: professional or leisure use?
Your usage determines the necessary level of robustness:
- Tradesperson / professional: choose a thick floor that is resistant to heavy loads and tools
- Camper van / leisure: a lighter floor is sufficient, with a refined finish for an aesthetic look
- Pickup truck: choose a specific truck bed kit, designed to withstand weather and outdoor loads
