Last Monday I delivered in Raleigh NC and the F/Lift used weighed about a Zillion pounds or so. It has those small front steel wheels,battery powered and could probably lift the whole truck.
Anyway the front wheels went through the box floor right over the rear wheels. The driver got it out and I was left with 2 holes.
I couldn't really blame it on them as the box is 9 years old. I had it repaired at a place I know and the shop owner said "It's a good idea to secure a piece of 1/2 inch plywood on the bottom of the floor in the area of the rear wheels. This plywood would then take the water and spray and chemicals that the wheels throw up and the floor would be protected. Even though the bottom of the floor may have a protective coating on it it will eventually wear out. Only cost $100.00 for 2 metal patches on the floor.
