3 SUB-DECK
The sub-deck is the structure directly above the cross-members and underneath the
floor slats/planks. The sub-deck consists of square steel tubing or U-shaped aluminum
profiles. The square tubing mounts on top of the cross-members. Plastic floor bearings
connect to the tubing.
3.1 Baffle plate
A baffle plate extends forward from the door threshold to prevent material from sifting
through the floor when slats/planks are in the forward position.
1. Determine the dimensions of the baffle plate (Figure 13).
The baffle plate must be level with the cross-members and is welded to the
inside of the last beam of the trailer (threshold). The thickness depends on the
type of load. For light materials (e.g. sawdust), use 2mm plate. 3mm plate is
recommended for heavy, abrasive materials (e.g. solid waste). The plate bends
down 300mm inside the closed door, leaving an opening so that material will not
build up underneath the slats/planks. For fine materials, the baffle plate connects
to the nearest cross-member to prevent material from sifting through. Holes may
be cut in the plate to let small amounts of fine material drop through. This
prevents buildup from exerting upward pressure on slats/planks.

2. Cut and form the baffle plate to the proper dimensions.
3. Install the baffle plate.
Weld the plate in position. Then grind welds flat. Make sure it is level with the
cross-members.
