Are you outfitting your commercial vehicle and looking for a reliable, durable, and easy-to-install non-slip floor? This guide will help you make the right choice based on your use, vehicle, and constraints.
Why install a non-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 disadvantages:
- Slippery surface, dangerous for loading and people
- Amplified road noise
- Accelerated corrosion in case of humidity
- Rapid wear of equipment placed directly on the metal
A non-slip floor kit solves these problems in a single installation, without drilling or irreversible modification of the vehicle.
Essential criteria for making the right choice
1. Compatibility with your vehicle
Each commercial vehicle model has specific floor dimensions and geometry. A floor kit must be custom-designed for your vehicle: Renault Trafic, Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumpy, Ford Transit, Volkswagen Transporter, Mercedes Vito, etc. Always check compatibility before purchasing.
2. Material
Professional quality floors are generally made of birch plywood or composite, with an integrated non-slip surface. Birch plywood offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for craftsmen and professionals.
3. Thickness
A thickness of 9 to 12 mm is recommended for intensive professional use. For leisure use or camper vans, 6 to 9 mm may be sufficient depending on the planned load.
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 less than an hour, without specific tools.
5. Resistance and durability
Check that the floor is treated against humidity and shocks. A water-repellent treatment and protected edges guarantee optimal longevity, even in difficult conditions.
Commercial vehicle floor: professional or leisure use?
Your use determines the required level of robustness:
- Craftsman / professional: opt for a thick floor, resistant to heavy loads and tools
- Camper van / leisure: a lighter floor is sufficient, with a neat finish for an aesthetic result
- Pick-up: choose a specific bed liner kit, designed to withstand weather and outdoor loads
