Thread: trailer plans

Bought my trailer in 1976 - zinc anneal floor and bits.

Went to the local floor covering place and bought [quite expensive at the time] some commercial lino flooring called Rhino floor - quite thick. This has had 1000's of shovel scrapes as well as broken rock/bricks etc over it - easy to sweep out or has at times been used to pull out loads of green waste - during the mid 80's it also got a little dry up here and the lino sat under a tank and used as a water carter which was daily for longer than I care to remember.

The floor of the trailer is fine - some of the original paint rubbed off and a few dents but no rust - when finished pull out the lino - hose off, let dry and then put it back in. I aslo use my trailer [with a frame inside to support the middle] with a top on it as a setting out table.

The floor on Dad's trailer rusted so he wandered up to the local scrap metal joint and had a scout around to see what they had. He came back with a single sheet of about 12mm ply that had aluminium sheet bonded to both sides of it. I would like to know who made it as it was a great trailer floor.
