    Im going to need to rent or lease but preferably not buy a 53’ flat bed conestoga with wood flooring.

    The wood floor with conestoga kit is eluding me on my web searches.

    Who do you recommend for these type of needs?



    Thanks all!

    Why wood??
    Maybe some kind of cheap plywood liner would work.

    That is indeed an uncommon thing to find. Probably have to custom order a trailer.

    What are you planning to do that requires a full wooden deck?

    Do - the “shipper” will Want to Nail into the floor to build their military spec cribbing per the official diagram for the commodity - nailers will not work and the military guys are not flexible.

    My Wilson has two apitong pieces on each side the length of the trailer the rest of the trailer is aluminum. I’ve never nailed anything to it but you could if you wanted too.

    I have a 48 with wood deck and conistoga. But unfortunately the tarp is junk.

    I can’t imagine finding that for rent anywhere. Even just a conistoga trailer for rent would surprise me.
