The Journey Behind Your Trusted Trailer Floor

At Terradeck, we believe the world’s strongest trailer floors begin where the world’s strongest trees grow. That’s why our team recently journeyed deep into the heart of Kalimantan, Indonesia, to stand where our apitong wood is born, and to reaffirm the promise we make to every customer: integrity in sourcing, excellence in craft, and strength you can depend on.

This wasn’t a corporate trip. It was an expedition. A commitment. Few in the North America flooring industry ever meet the forests their wood comes from. For us, it was essential.

 The Adventure: Into the World of Giant Trees

Traveling beyond paved roads, we entered an ecosystem where apitong trees, known locally as keruing, reach toward the sky. The air hummed with life. We felt the magnitude of these ancient forests, a reminder that true strength starts with respect for nature. This journey wasn’t easy, but it reinforced why we do what we do: to bring the unmatched resilience of these hardwoods directly to your fleet.

The Source: Where Strength Is Harvested with Care

In Kalimantan, wood isn’t just cut, it’s carefully selected. We walked among log ponds and spoke with harvesters committed to sustainable practices. Each tree is chosen with precision, ensuring the forest thrives for generations. This isn’t just sourcing; it’s stewardship. When you choose wooden flooring apitong from Terradeck, you’re supporting ecosystems and communities that prize balance and sustainability.

From Forest to Floor: A Story of Unbroken Strength

Watching raw apitong logs begin their transformation, we saw more than timber—we saw future trailer floors capable of bearing a hundred pounds of weight and enduring millions of miles across North American interstates. That log, once rooted in Indonesian soil, will become part of platforms and dry vans—a direct line from nature’s purity to industrial durability.

Why This Matters to You

When you invest in a Terradeck floors, you’re getting more than apitong planks. You’re getting a product shaped by passion, integrity, and firsthand knowledge. You’re buying confidence in the material, the craftsmanship, and the people who stand behind it.

We traveled across the world not because we had to, but because we care enough to know where our strength comes from. And now, so do you.
