Hi Mathias!
I have a steel deck on my trailer, I saw that you already eliminated this option, however what gauge or thickness steel deck did you price?
I have 11ga as the deck for my gooseneck. It is much lighter than wood, and appears to be very stong. It does "flex" some when I drive my 7,000 lb backhoe on it. But not any sign of wear in 10 years. I've not seen a wood deck trailer last 10 years..... I think I'll easily get another 10.
Would not work for track vehicles, have had a rubber track Bobcat on there without issue. Deck is welded on all edges and spotted to the cross members.
I painted black, and mixed the anti slip ground glass you can buy in the big box stores in the paint, have had no issues with slippery or sliding. Foot or machine.
Bought 2 sheets of 11ga 4'x8' last week, $94 each. Considering the longer life I think its a better deal.
