Boat Trailer Walk Plank. Great Service from Mandurah.
Submitted by Moking on Mon, 2018-11-12 22:57
Thought I would share the great service I got last week from a Company in Mandurah.
I did some research about fitting a walk plank on the trailer( as I have a foot injury).
To make life easier retrieving the boat,thought a walk plank was a good idea. Didn't want to fit a metal plank,so google Grate matting-Plastic Grating.
Found out that you could purchase "Off Cuts" from Grating RFP in Mandurah. PH 95842500
Very helpful blokes there,had a off cut which was pefect for the trailer,and very reasonable price. Even had the stainless securing clips.

So life will be easy when retrieving the boat!
And the Moke has gone to Qld- it would have struggled with the boat. Poor thing.

They have strips they sell for that purposes. Grate Mates I think they are called.

+1 for a maxtrax alt
I have borrowed some for this purpose, very strong, but also a fair bit heavier.

I've seen the same grating
I've seen the same grating at a chemical plant I use to work at it was set up around a acid tank so it should stand up to the salt water and sun alright

Got mine from there last
Got mine from there last year.
I ran the grating down the middle by removing the centre rollers and putting them back in through the holes in the grating. No extra bolts etc to hold it in place.
