Plugs for floor holes?

Most have washouts anyways between loads, some shippers require a washout receipt before you can even get loaded.

 

yep what i use

 

I don't get it.

 

I use rubber caps for metal chair legs get at any hardware store or Walmart work great easy to put in and pull out

 

I was just contacted by a gentleman who wants plugs for the holes also. Does anyone know the diameter of the holes? I have polyurethane foam plugs made to temporarily seal 1.50" to 1.75" holes that are 1.0" thick and would be quick to insert. He was interested in stopping cold air which sinks and escapes though the bottom of trailer. You can see the foam plugs on my website at www.polyplugs.com

The holes are probably there for a reason though, and not put there for show. I would contact the trailer dealer to try and find out the reason for them befor sealing them first. Just a thought. Thank you for checking with me about our proiducts.

 

The holes are there for drains. Top iced veggies and nasty chicken juice are some that need to drain. Some meat packers have cork plugs they put in at the plants. Trailers also can have rubber tubes clamped to the drain pipe underneath that have a 90 degree bend formed in them to stop cold air bleeding out. If those were gone and the shipper required plugging, we just used a wad of blue shop towel as a plug.

 

I use pallet wrap, front holes are always plugged until I do a wash out, usually only plug one rear hole so whatever is in there goes down the duct floor and drains, I almost always use a bulkhead but with the duct floor air/water still gets under it
