    Was wondering if anybody has used these liners for Ashphalt hauling. The ads say they can take the heat, but I have heard from a few people that they expand and warp. Was wanting to try and put the Quicksilver one for the sides of my Aluminum trailer. We use plywood right now and it wears out every year! Thanks

    Ok Thanks. We are gonna replace the 3/4" plywood with 1/2" liner. Its 17' in length and 4.5' high. Maybe do two pieces and leave room for expansion. The sides of our trailers get dented with hauling dirt, so hope these sheets take impact well. Also do some paving, so it must be able to take the heat. Might be a trial for one trailer and see how it does!

    As long as they are installed properly they should not warp, but yes there will be expansion with the high heat. For asphalt liners we usually cut off 1.5 inches of the liner for every 10 foot of the dump body to allow for the expansion. In your case for a 17' dump body we would cut off 2.55 inches. If you are still looking to purchase a liner let me know. We can fabricate an asphalt liner up to 192" wide, and any length.
