How to Build Heavy-Duty Forklift-Ready Industrial Flooring?

If your factory runs forklifts daily, you can’t afford to use a flooring system that only “looks good.”
You need a system that’s truly load-bearing, impact-resistant, and long-lasting.

Many owners try to save costs and end up with:

  • Floor cracks

  • Forklift tire burn marks

  • Peeling coatings

  • Structural concrete damage

These issues risk not only your floor — but also the safety of your workers and your warehouse operations.


Here’s our recommended heavy-duty flooring process:

  1. Substrate Testing & Grinding – Determine base strength and prepare using industrial grinders

  2. Crack Repairs & Joint Reinforcement – Fix expansion joints and reinforce impact zones

  3. Epoxy Primer Coating – High-penetration primers for maximum adhesion

  4. Heavy-Duty Mortar Screed Layer – Built for shock absorption and load resistance

  5. Topcoat Finish Options – Glossy, matte, or anti-slip based on traffic & safety needs


✅ Done right, you’ll get:

  • 10+ years of durability

  • No dust, no peeling, no deformation

  • Safer working zones

  • Lower long-term maintenance costs
