The lightweight dropside truck & trailer features side panels that can be quickly folded down, making loading and unloading highly efficient. It is particularly suitable for transporting bulky cargo, unevenly distributed loads, or goods that require fast handling, such as construction materials, ores, timber, and machinery. Therefore, the flooring must provide excellent compressive strength and impact resistance to prevent cracking or collapse under concentrated loads, while also incorporating a reliable non-slip surface to ensure cargo stability during transport and protect operator safety during on-board activities.
Limitations of Steel and Wooden Floors
- Poor anti-slip performance increases risks during loading, unloading, and transportation.
- Excessive weight reduces payload and increases fuel costs.
- Susceptibility to rust and rot: Steel floors are susceptible to corrosion in wet or corrosive environments, while wooden floors absorb moisture, leading to rot and deformation.
- Maintenance and replacement are difficult, leading to increased long-term operating costs.
Lightweight composite flooring

We are creating a new generation of flooring that combines lightness, safety, and durability, aiming to enhance vehicle functionality and reduce manufacturing costs.
100% thermoplastic composite structure
- Facing layer
A thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) matrix reinforced with continuous glass fibers for strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance.
- Core layer
A thermoplastic polypropylene honeycomb structure that combines lightweight performance with excellent energy absorption.
Advantages of Anti-Slip Thermoplastic Polypropylene Honeycomb Panels
☑ Lightweight Construction: The lightweight honeycomb structure significantly reduces vehicle weight, improving fuel efficiency and cargo capacity.
☑ Anti-Slip Effect: The embossed surface texture provides excellent anti-slip properties, ensuring safety even in wet, oily, or dusty conditions.
☑ Load-Bearing Strength: Excellent compressive strength—a 15mm thickness can support up to 3 tons, making it ideal for heavy-duty logistics applications.
☑ Excellent Durability: Completely waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and rust-resistant, and reversible, significantly extending its service life.
☑ Installation and Maintenance: The floor can be installed or replaced using simple tools.
