Typically utility trailers will just use treated lumber for the flooring. We really only offer vinyl flooring like the RV Vinyl Flooring # TS77FR you were looking at, which is intended for use in an enclosed trailer. You could still use it on your utility trailer but would need a wooden subfloor for it to stick to. You'll also need the correct adhesive to properly mount the flooring to the trailer; # TS76FR for wood only subfloor and # TS86FR for wood, metal or concrete subfloor.

Other than that I have seen some people use different paint-on floor sealants to protect the boards and give them a bit of texture to help prevent items on the trailer from shifting around. You could check with your local hardware store for something that would stand up to the elements since it will be sitting outside.

Answer 1

I recommend using the 601 Flooring Adhesive in a 1 Gallon #TS76FR or 4 Gallon #TS26FR depending on your application. The 601 does not have the pressure sensitive requirements of the 801, 1 Gallon #TS86FR and 4 Gallon #TS58FR adhesives.

The 120-LB #M354FR is going to likely be a better option with the door weight between 125-130lbs. While the 150-LB #362SA8207 will work the higher weight will make the door want to raise up off the ground which can be troublesome when trying to load…
