You mean the bottom half of the pic showing the diamond plate 'plate' on the floor? That's built with about every trailer out there. Go to any metal supplier and get a piece of diamond plate.
Boondock Thanks this. -
Go to any trailer shop and show them yours and see what they say. I couldn't tell you what yours is. They can.
Flat Earth Trucker and Boondock Thank this. -
It’s steel. 1/8” thick I believe. Had a new one put on my last trailer. They stood it up, stitch welded it, laid it down, drilled new holes and installed new screws. I then had them weld it all the way across. Better than new. Original plate was thinner, and only 2’. New one was 4’. Much better.

you can also try just about any welding shop, metal shop too, like an HVAC supplier...Ikamob01, Boondock and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Pretty sure I seen aluminum diamond plate at Menards the other day. Larger than I’ve seen at Lowe’s….

Can probably get it cheaper from a local machine shop than Lowe's, Home Depot etc
-
tread plate call any metal supplier in your area.
JoeyJunk Thanks this.
