Cleated Livestock Trailer Flooring
Light Weight :: Strong :: Clean :: Easy to Install
Extends the Life of your Trailer
Built for agriculture, PolyCleat flooring was designed specifically to address the issue of heavy flooring in livestock and utility trailers. It delivers the strength producers need without the excess weight or rot associated with traditional flooring materials. Your trailer flooring shouldn’t limit your hauling capacity. With its anticipated lifespan and 20-year warranty, you won’t find a more cost-effective flooring option.
Light Weight
Save 1,000 lbs of Trailer Weight - and Haul More Every Trip
Here’s the math: PolyCleat flooring is less than half the weight of rubber-based flooring and is also lighter than wood.
Rubber Flooring - 2 1/4" x 8" board = 7.4 lbs/ft (11.1 lbs/sq. ft)
Treated Pine, 2x8 - 1 5/8" x 8" equivalent* = 4.9 lbs/ft (7.35 lbs/sq. ft)
PolyCleat Flooring - 1 5/8" x 8" board = 2.8 lbs/ft (4.2 lbs/sq. ft)
For comparison, using 33 planks, each 78 inches long and 8 inches wide, in a 24-foot trailer, PolyCleat flooring weighs 604 lbs., while a rubber composite floor weighs 1,597 lbs.
Full or empty, maximize your payload by eliminating 1,000 lbs of flooring!
*2x8 wood is only 7 1/4” wide
Super Strong
Built From Ultra-Durable Recycled Polymers.
PolyCleat flooring is constructed from our proprietary blend of industrial-grade, high-performance 100% post-consumer recycled polymers (hence, PolyCleat).
It will not crack, splinter, or rot, has UV protection, and can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees before becoming brittle. It is impervious to nearly all commonly used solvents and other chemicals and does not absorb manure or urine.
You can nick and ding our planks, but our 3/4” cleats will stay intact, will not wear down or break off over time, and will provide your livestock with support for years to come.

Easy to Clean
Spend Less Time Cleaning and Maintaining Floors.
The compliment we receive most often is that our flooring is easy to clean.
It is non-porous and does not absorb or cling to debris and manure, making cleaning dramatically faster than with wood or rubber composite products. Cleaning can be as simple as driving through a rainstorm or brushing it out when it’s dry, which is especially important for producers in low-rain areas.
If you are used to cleaning for 40 minutes with a pressure washer, our planks will take less than 20 minutes to clean. This is the timesaver you’ve been looking for!
Super Attractive
Backed By a 20-Year Warranty.
PolyCleat flooring is crisp and clean. The cleats line up for a neat, finished appearance.
The ‘shine’ you see is from the manufacturing process. It does not affect grip and wears off after the first use, similar to a new pair of leather cowboy boots on concrete.
Easy to Install
Improve Footing for Your Livestock in Just a Few Hours.
If you have installed a wood floor before, you already know how to install PolyCleat. Our planks are designed to mimic a 2x8 and can be cut and drilled quickly with standard woodworking tools.
The groove lines on top of the plank run the entire length and indicate where screws should be inserted so they pass through the legs beneath, gripping as much of the material as possible.
Just like with wood, always drill a pilot hole and use self-tapping screws. You can also leave a .5” to 1” gap between planks for cleanout.
Your metal bracing underneath can span from 12" to 16”, and the flooring should be screwed down to the steel support beams below, just like wood.
Depending on livestock traffic and usage, planks can be installed in an aligned or offset pattern to give more or less space between cleats.
Aligned Pattern
Offset Pattern
Both patterns are built into every plank.
The aligned pattern is achieved by lining up our logo in the same direction on each plank.
The offset pattern is achieved by turning every other plank so that the logo faces the opposite direction (180-degree rotation).
It’s as easy as that!
You can find even more instructions on our Installation Guide tab.
Extends the Life of Your Trailer
Eliminate Moisture Absorption and Rot.
PolyCleat flooring has four legs underneath, so it does not lie flat on the trailer frame like wood or rubber planks.
Minimal contact with the metal frame helps reduce trapped moisture and debris that can cause the steel to rust.
The unique design of four legs supports the plank and reduces contact with your steel
