Floor Panel, Wood Decking, and Metal Deck Repair
National Fleet Management repairs trailer flooring on both enclosed and open deck trailers at our shops in Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and Statesville, NC. Trailer floors take on more stress than most fleet managers account for, cargo weight, repeated loading and unloading, and on open deck trailers, direct exposure to sun and weather all wear down flooring over time, even when the rest of the trailer is in good condition.
Enclosed trailer flooring wears primarily from cargo weight and loading impact, since it's otherwise protected from the elements. Open deck flooring faces that same load stress plus ongoing weather exposure, whether the deck is metal or wood, which is why open deck trailers typically need more frequent flooring inspection. NFM repairs both types, addressing structural damage through our welding and fabrication services when floor supports or framing are affected, before it becomes a safety issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes trailer flooring to wear out?
Enclosed trailer flooring wears from repeated cargo loading and weight over time. Open deck flooring wears from that same cargo loading plus direct weather and sun exposure.
Is wood or metal decking more durable for open deck trailers?
Metal decking generally holds up better to weather exposure, while wood decking offers better traction but requires more frequent inspection for rot and wear.
Does enclosed trailer flooring need to be inspected if it's protected from weather?
Yes. Even without weather exposure, enclosed trailer floors wear from repeated cargo loading and weight over time, so they still need periodic inspection.
