<p>A bearer-less floor panel for a container particularly a refrigerated container, is provided with a planar underpan (1) and extruded sheet flooring plates (2) located above and spaced from the underpan. The space between the underpan and sheet flooring plates is filled with high density foam (4). Preferably elongate bearer blocks (3) are located between the underpan and the sheet flooring plates to support the plates in spaced relationship therebetween. High density foam support blocks (3) divide the space between the underpan and flooring plates into a plurality of compartments each separately injection filled with high density foam (4) having a density of 80 to 90 kg/m3. The underpan is conveniently of stainless steel having a thickness of 1 mm. or less. The underpan is also planar only having recesses to accommodate a shape complementary to the shape of tine tunnels. The flooring panel produced thereby is of sufficient rigidity and support to enable manufacture of a bearer-less flooring panel which is considerably lighter than known bearer-less flooring panels for refrigerated containers in particular.</p> |
