Rumber planks

Maybe give Norbert's a call. They're a Manitoba outfit. They should know where to find it in Canada.

Or go to the source, but it's in the U.S.

I don't know where to get rumber, but would highly recommend having it for a stock trailer floor. I wouldn't want anything else
after having had three trailers that had this for flooring.
 
I was going to put this in my trailer. The local lumber yard could get it for me but it was too expensive and I would have had to weld a lot more supports in my trailer floor as the spacing needs to be closer than wood floors.
 
Quality Trailer Products 1-888-325-1385 they export to Canada so you maybe able to get it dropped off near you. Redneck sucks as far as service goes.
 
I know that Titan trailers put the rumber in their trailers and we had talked to them about getting some to put in a trailer. It is expensive, but it does last longer! I would try talking to a titan rep in your area, they would know where to get some. Just a thought.

Thanks Denny, the guy that wants them is in Montana so I will pass on what I know. I will give him a heads up about more floor cross members as well.
 
I've got a KieferBuilt trailer I plan to put a Rumber floor in as a winter project. If I remember correctly the supports have to be on 12" centers. Then the floor should last as long as the rest of the trailer. Its been refloored once already.

Have you found a source for the rumber planks as my friend lives just north of you a ways. :)
 
The last floor I put in cost's were $106.72 per each 24' board it takes 13 on a 80" wide trailer 12' boards were 52.87. If you guy's can't get it from them I could get it for you and bring it to Glendive Mt in august I've got a couple new trailers heading out that way then. The specs are you need crossmembers no more than 15" on center and you need to bolt it down very well. It has a 20 year warrenty 5 years 100% and pro-rated after that.Only ever needed the warrenty once the guys floor broke one board and they replaced the whole floor parts and labor.It was in western ND so they had the work done in Dickenson.Redneck may deliver somewhere close to where you guys are also I can ask and see I know quality gets a ways into ND.Redneck has a branch store in Idaho so they maybe have a route truck into Montana.

I got a sample and the literature but haven't got locating a source yet.

Rumber floor in our 24' Titan stock trailer

The last four feet of rumber is cleated for better footing while loading and unloading. The other twenty feet is smooth.

Soap, are you satisfied with the smooth/cleated floor arrangement? I can see where a fully cleated floor would provide excellent traction, but be a bugger to clean. When the trailer floor is dry to start with, I don't know that the cleats would be much advantage over a smooth floor when loading. I can see after the first load it would make quite a difference. :wink:

I have 4 rubber mats with a somewhat cleated surface over the original wood floor in my '94 20' Titan. Not saying I'm always timely, but I always try to do a very thorough job with the shovel and power washer when I tackle the job and let everything dry thoroughly before putting mats back down.

The magnet on the gate latch is a nifty touch, I would never have thought of something like that.

The cleated floor on the back four feet is in place more for unloading than for loading. When the trailer is full of cattle, and the inevitable resulting "shrink" (for lack of a better word) :wink: , it gets a bit slick. As the livestock jump off the trailer, often their hind feet slip in the process. The cleated rumber is to prevent this from happening. This way it is easier to scoop out the first twenty feet, and still have some of the advantage of a cleated floor.
