All year long, sea containers transport a variety of cargo. To increase their endurance and
secure goods from any damage, it needs a sturdy structure. A standard shipping container
is furnished with a thick marine grade plywood floor and built of solid corten steel wall. It
is meant to endure heavy weight and provide high resistance against humidity and liquid.
This sturdy construction has many good years of lifespan and is resistant to extreme
conditions during the journey. Though plywood flooring offers a high level of strength to
heavy weight, wood easily attracts pests. To get rid of the pests, plywood floors are often
infused with pesticides which can affect the cargo with toxic substances and are harmful
to those handling the storage.
While wood flooring may damage over time, you might want to find other references for
flooring material to overcome the situation. Choosing flooring substitutes may come off
tricky as you need to adjust the material depending on the cargo type you would carry.

One of the main advantages of steel or aluminum flooring is that they don’t need any
pesticide maintenance. Normally, steel flooring comes in a corrugated style which can
withstand heavy machinery a lot more than other types of flooring materials. This flooring
suits best for reefer or insulated containers as well where it locks the temperature inside.
They don’t absorb any odor or liquids coming from any possible leaks and are very easy to
maintain. Aluminum or steel is known to be resistant to rusting and is very strong. For a
long-term investment and reliability, this material could be one of the best options.
Bamboo Flooring – best for dry cargo
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly and sustainable flooring option, bamboo sits in one of
the excellent alternatives. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants and is available in
large quantities. They are relatively inexpensive rather than hardwood flooring, yet still
serve a tough capability to hold heavy weights. The benefitting point of bamboo flooring
for sea containers over alternatives like plastic-wood composite is their availability and low
price. Bamboo flooring is easy to clean, doesn’t stain, and does not require pesticide
control. Dry cargoes like clothing, grains, and textiles fit well with this flooring material
type.
Coin Vinyl – best for liquid goods
Vinyl floors are ideal if you need to transport oils and acids. It has a simple roll-out
installation by gluing on the surface of the existing floor and applicable without any
adhesive. Coin vinyl flooring is tough, waterproof, and resistant to slip. Certain food
products like wine and milk or chemicals like ammonia are also transportable in the form
of bulk liquid. Vinyl flooring offers a range of textures, colors, and thicknesses. They are
also applicable in a variety of different functions. However, vinyl flooring is more prone to
sharp objects and extreme weather than other types of flooring.
Epoxy Coat – best to enhance durability

The epoxy coat is another beneficial option that you can add to the floor. Epoxy coats
protect any type of solid surface like wood, metals, or plastic. It helps prevent rusting,
strengthen the floor, and protect against chemicals, paints, or leaking liquid. It can also
lessen slippery surfaces, especially in winter times when it’s risky for the workers to step
onto the wet floor for leaving snow and ice tracks from the outside. Epoxy coating is a
popular option for floors that must resist constant industrial hassle, machine traffic,
extreme temperatures, oil, and chemicals without peeling or rusting over years. It is
considerably low cost to coat the flooring rather than replacing them with new ones when
damage happens.
Imitation Wood Vinyl Planks – best for oils and acids load
One of the most common substitutes to standard plywood in a shipping container is

imitation wood or vinyl. Vinyl is relatively waterproof and takes less maintenance than real
wood. Though it tends to cost less than the other alternatives, vinyl is notably to be highly
durable. The side benefit is, they look more attractive in terms of design since they come
in many styles and colors. The flooring is easy to install and maintain.
