The Advantages of Bamboo Truck Trailer Decking

Ưu điểm của sàn xe kéo bằng tre

When it comes to truck flooring, we typically use thick red hardwood Apitong/Keruing, which has a density of 745 kg/m³ and a Janka hardness of about 1,390 lbf. However, many species of Dipterocarpus, including Keruing, are listed on the IUCN Red List as critically endangered due to a population reduction of over 80% in the past three generations, caused by a decline in their natural habitat and exploitation. In contrast, bamboo presents a wonderfully sustainable alternative for truck trailer decking. Below are the advantages of our bamboo truck trailer decking:

1. Lightweight & High Strength

Our vertical bamboo truck flooring has a density between 680-700 kg/m³, while the average density of bamboo ranges from 650-720 kg/m³. Compared to Apitong flooring, bamboo truck decking is lighter. Additionally, bamboo has a Janka hardness of 1,180 lbf, providing excellent strength to withstand heavy loads and impacts.

2. Sustainability & CO2 Absorption

Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly, reaching harvestable maturity in just 4-6 years without the need for replanting. In comparison, traditional wood species take 60-80 years to mature, making bamboo a truly sustainable option. Bamboo can absorb 35% more carbon dioxide (CO2) and release 40% more oxygen than equivalent trees, playing a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. Studies indicate that one hectare of bamboo can store approximately 60 tons of CO2 over a 20-year period, equivalent to the amount of CO2 emitted by an average car driving about 12,000 kilometers per year. Thus, bamboo truck flooring is a better choice for both the environment and the economy.

3. Durability

Bamboo truck floors are constructed from 100% solid bamboo panels and can feature single, double, or triple layers of cross-laminated construction, ensuring stability and durability. The bamboo strips used have a moisture content of 10±2%, which helps prevent expansion, bending, and warping. Typically, bamboo flooring is carbonized, treated with high pressure and temperature to eliminate insect eggs, enhancing its durability and physical properties. Naturally, bamboo is waterproof, resistant to termites, wear-resistant, and possesses antibacterial properties, making it a long-lasting flooring solution.

4. Customization Services

The width of our bamboo truck flooring ranges from 310 mm to 2,440 mm, with a maximum length of 39 inches (approximately 11817 mm), which is just limited by container sizes. The thickness can vary from 7 mm to 27 mm, and all dimensions can be customized. In addition to size, we also offer various design options, including tongue and groove, half lap/shiplap, and omega configurations for your truck solutions.
