The larger trailers have angle steel laid corner up for decking on the beavertail. Seems like great traction for climbing up on to the trailer.
I'm redecking a small 6x10 with 2' beavertail skidsteer trailer and want to do the same. It doesn't need 1/4" thick angles like the big trailers though. Don't need the weight or the expense.
1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/8" thick angles, every 3", would be the equivalent of a 1/8" plate steel floor, only stronger. 1/8" is what my dump trailer has and it's rated to haul a skidsteer. Maybe I could even space them a bit farther apart.
