Load Space Floor Protection

Postby SilverTurfer » Sun Sep 09, 2018 1:23 pm

Hi Transitors,

I visited my local main dealer yesterday as I'd like to get a newer perhaps Mk8 panel van.

While we were in the glossy showroom he showed us the inside of a new van and it has a tough black plastic floor covering.
The salesman told me that its standard on the new model but usually removed and replaced with plywood when the ply liners are fitted.

Apparently most lease companies insist on this being removed in the ply lining process.

Is this true?

What is this plastic floor called?

Where can I get one cheap?
Is it an option?

This would be a much better solution for me rather than the plywood liner as fertilizer often gets under the board and rots the floor out of the van.

I've found a nice clean Mk8 SWB that will replace our knackered Mk7

I hope I've got my 1st post on here written clearly and any help or suggestion will be gratefully received.

Tony

Hi yes I can comfirm that this plastic flooring does come as standard as I just got my new van Thursday and it has the plastic flooring, I suppose the best place to get one would be a breakers yard

I added ply to mine as it is very slippy - any loads move all over the shop :(

Thanks Chaps for the response.

I wonder what the item is called ... I'll go to a ford dealer and get them to look it up.

If I knew what it was called I could probably get one on eBay. I think I'll search for anyone breaking a Mk8 panel van.

Cheers!

It is very slippery but I got my mate to carpet it for me with industrial resistant stuff as he is a carpet fitter with his own unit and this works very well
