Construction of the floor is tailored to specific load conditions.
The flooring group is normally made of flooring frame with cross girders, covered by floor sheet metal. A teardrop sheet metal may be used for a covering, which has a good anti-skid property, with the designer choosing a suitable thickness of sheet metal.
Floor load in this standardized version is approximately 680kg/m2. For extremely heavy loads, the sheet metal up to 10 mm. thickness is used (the project realized with the proportioning of the floor for the insertion of technology with total weight 50 metric tons by now).
The fully welded demarcation variant of 50 mm. with floor sheet metal fulfills the function of the interceptive tub. The interceptive tub fulfills an ecological function and prevents the oil or other liquids to enter the outside environment from inserted technologies.
The galvanized or plastic grates of required load capacity may be used for the separation of walk-about and tub section.
The advantage of steel floor is the possibility of welding of additional support racks, plates and other attachment points.
The flooring made of waterproof plywood fulfills higher demands for thermal insulation.
In the case of the requirement for steel sheet metal insulation, the rock wool covered by galvanized or black sheet metal is used, which is riveted or welded into the base construction.
The floor of the container designed for distributors requires in many cases the construction of double floor with dismountable chipboard plates. The floor surface may be protected by anti-skid, anti resonating or antistatic coating.
