It's not that much heavier that phenolic boards like buffalo boards. Yes it's made from sheets of ply covered in fibreglass but the coating gives it strength and there should be a frame to support the weight as well. I wouldn't recommend getting it second hand as it may well be rotten inside.

in the past ive used GRP as it comes in 2.4m by what ever you like, its also white so doesn't look to bad on the outside.

are those quotes for a new ramp or a refurbishment of an existing one.

is the roof damaged or is it just the sealer letting go you may not need to replace it unless it is well soaked and and the wood has gone. prices would differ depending on what type of luton you have ie. tilt cab, curved or 50p shaped. i would check the luton floor as well and the side walls if...

A 18mm phenolic board would be fine with rubber or eva matting definitely underseal the van floor before hand, or aluminum planks this option would defiantly last longer. just make sure you get drain holes with tubes that go from inside floor height to outside many a time ive seen them just...

if your looking at relaying the horse area floor i would really advise a aluminium plank floor but if you went with wood go with a phenolic board at least 22mm.

Sorry to here you missed out on that box weekend, still keeping my eye out for you so is are mechanic. hope you dont mind if i pop this here. I see some people seem to of had issues with a company, i cant seem to find any posts anywhere on the forum regarding problems, if you have or you know...

no worries foxy probably best way. if the company involved issued a warranty they should list what parts it covers and for how long.

do you mind me asking what sort of problems you had,what made it not fit for propose. just wondering if it was new components or part of the older vehicle.

you could always look at 6.5t horseboxes. some are not much bigger the 3.5t boxes but obviously you get a better payload.

With out knowing what needs replacing or how your vehicle is laid out its hard to say. But if it's just Lifting the old rubber then replacing the boards and reusing what you have probably around £700- £800. but like I said it's hard without seeing the vehicle to give you a better idea. Hope...

GRP is a fibreglass reinforced plywood panel. so will root if the coating is broken or untreated. look for swelling under windows as water makes it swell out .try goggling GRP DRY FREIGHT. hope this helps

Your be lucky to find an iveco 3.5t with a payload that is usable as they are heavy to start with same as ford's. Rear entry 3.5t boxes are tricky because of the wheels, you would have to raise the floor above the wheels adding more weight losing payload. Your best bet for rear entry is a...

With £30- £35k you should be able to get a good new build. Definitely stick with a chassis no older the 5 years if you can. Have you thought about 5-6 ton chassis. Do you know what chassis you want ie low to the ground like a 3 ton box?

it looks like a full breast bar,so if your wondering if it is removable I doubt it, but it does have v bars so should be ok.
