a. Align the rear end of all slats/planks 12mm from inside of doors and make
sure that all cylinders are collapsed to the rear of the trailer.
b. Drill holes in the slats/planks from underneath through the drive shoes.
(Some holes may need to drilled from above if slats/planks are over frame
rails.)
c. Countersink the holes so that the floor bolts are flush with the floor top.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over-countersink. This will make a weak connection and cause
the floor slat/plank to come loose. Use extra caution when countersinking thin flooring.
Do not countersink 6” (152.4mm) wide slats/plank. They need pre-countersunk bolt
plates as shown in reference drawing A-25167.
d. Bolt floor slats/planks down tightly.
Use Countersunk Socket Head Cap Screws with Nylock
nuts. 8mm bolts attach 3 1/2" (88.9mm) flooring to the
shoes. 6" (152.4mm) flooring requires 10mm bolts.
Recommended torque is shown in Appendix 5.
IMPORTANT:
Correct torque on floor bolts is necessary for long floor life.
5.3 Side seal options
The side seal is a non-moving floor slat/plank that fills the gap between the moving floor
slats/plank and the side walls. Several options are available. A seal is needed between
the moving floor slats/planks and the side seal, so some options require the use of one
double seal slat/plank.
1. Use Figure 43 and Table 1 to select a feasible side seal option.
Side seal gap width ('B') is the distance measured from the outermost floor
slat/plank to the side wall. Allowing for the ball seal, deduct 1mm to determine
