What would you see the positive and negatives of bolting in a diamond tread alum floor in a steel framed trailer vs welding in a 16 ga steel floor.Both would be covered with raptor liner.
I see the weight savings a plus,being able to remove a plus,and not rusting.
I see the negatives being the cost.
I know it takes just a second,a trailer manufacturing company is building the main box only and is just running it down the assembly line,im sure he would change if i asked.Thats why im asking.Its going to be a trailer similer to box rockets that has a 3500 lb axle.Used for hauling construction...
Frame is 3/16,i know 1/8 would work but the guy building prefers 3/16 sense his shop and guys are set up to weld that for other trailers.

What do all think about a setup like this on a trailer,im really thinking about leaving trailer open but i need to haul a few kayaks.I know i could make some square tubes that slide into one another but this seems way cleaner,i found one for 375 and there normally 800.
Mine is 49 inside just to be able to carry lumber etc.Two issues im also having are the tailgate and lid.While i want a swing away gate with shelf it would be nice to have a drop down gate for when i haul longer items.The lid would be awesome but like a camper shell its also a pain sometimes,im...

Would you have welded uprights closer to perimeter of main frame to get skin to set more flush with the outside vs having the lip?
What’s your tire to bedside clearance like?
Did you redo tailgate latching system?
Were do your think weight could be saved,would 1/8 thick frame material be sufficient?any other area of the frame and box area to save weight?
What was your inner hub to hub measurement?
