Abstract:

A synthetic flooring module and method of fabricating the module are disclosed. The flooring module comprises an extruded floor member composed of a chemical resin material which is unaffected by the complications inherent with wood flooring. The flooring module has a profile adapted to provide for the maximum strength under significant compressive loads normally inherent in supporting forklifts used in, for example tractor trailer flooring. The profile of the floor module provides a plurality of spaced apart supports can figure to provide the compressive strength noted above while employing a minimal amount of resent material. The volume between the spaced apart supports has a channel configuration and a substantially C-shaped profile. The profile in combination with the resent employed and the overall configuration of the supports provides for a structure having properties which exceed the properties inherent with wood or other materials previously used in the art.
