10 x 6 aluminium checker plate

    I have a 10x6ft ifor plant trailer for the digger.

    I did the brakes and cables 2 years ago and replaced the floor but with larch. FAIL when a lad borrowed it and a skidsteer bust the floor.

    So anyway I want to replace the floor with a single sheet of aluminium checker plate, same 3mm as there are loads of crossmembers. (easily put the digger on the trailer without a floor like)

    I can track down 10x5 and 8x4 sheets but that means having to join them, My 12x6 ifor cattle trailer has a single sheet of aluminium chequer plate so it must be available somewhere

    Or try Thomas Tully in Granard. 043 6686579 They build truck bodies.

    I got a heavy sheet of checker ally from him years ago. Was an obliging enough fellow and not as expensive as I had feared.

    Decided the 2mm was to light. Prefer 3mm. And didn't get any yet

    10x6 by 2mm is e400/450, thats a bad joke!
    Would you not put in normal checker plate, u could weld it in in no time instead of having to bolt it.
