Noble optics & benefits at the same time: The loading area wood!

In the past, a cargo space wood was very useful and standard for the car. Although it is still useful today, it is much less common. Too bad, because the wood that is laid on the back of a pickup truck or pick-up is often very sturdy and can be considered as an exchangeable floor covering. It is the loading timber but not just loosely bolted boards. Rather, they are woods that are firmly screwed together. These boards fit perfectly on the loading area of ​​a flatbed or a pick-up. The load floor timber is usually high quality and is often with clear coat or another protective layer painted. It is therefore also weather resistant. Because it is both on the pick-up as well as on the flatbed truck around the clock and often completely unprotected, free and thus exposed to the weather.

still available ex works

In the US, some pick-ups are still standard equipped with such a cargo wood. Because in the US, the pick-up is a real workhorse and from the cityscape indispensable. The load-bearing wood is not very thick and not heavy. Because the assembled from individual panels construction would otherwise greatly minimize the possible total weight for the load on the truck bed. The types of wood that are used as cargo timber are different. From simple and inexpensive pine panels to expensive and precious teak wood, you can buy and use everything on the market as cargo wood. If you are in contact with a carpenter, you can also have your panels made of wood from your pickup truck or pick-up custom-made for the loading area.

Advantages, purpose and purpose

Thanks to the shop surface wood, it is possible that even heavy objects can be transported on the loading area of ​​a flatbed truck or a pick-up without damaging the ground. Many objects would leave scratches or notches in the sheet metal floor partly great visible damage. As a result, the loading area is no longer protected from the weather and it penetrates through the cracks formed moisture into the cavities between the loading area and the body. There rusts then the vehicle and that causes even more damage. The reason why the cargo bed wood is adapted to the bed of pickup or pickup, but ultimately has optical reasons. Because a cargo area that has cracks or is very dirty, is simply unsightly. By placing and attaching new optically beautiful panels, the overall appearance of a car is greatly improved.

especially popular with Restomods u. Oldis

In the event that a panel of the timber has damage, it can often be easily replaced. Not even the entire construction needs to be loosened or even removed from the loading area. You do not need a special tool to replace a panel. The replacement screws are also commercially available. Anyone who buys a complete new set of load-bearing wood, the assembly material, the appropriate fittings or any necessary metal clips will be supplied immediately. Incidentally, the load-bearing timber is especially popular with restored vehicles. A highly polished Restomod Copy or a true-to-the-original classic car make with a high-quality cargo area made of teak easily much more. It is often even the quiet highlight of the car.
