Milwaukee-based F. Barkow Inc. has announced it is now installing 1 3/8-inch ship-lapped hardwood floors in the bed of its Mongoose glazing body, as well as on its 8-foot and 12-foot trailers. According to the company, the hardwood is sturdier and more weather-resistant than the plywood it was using previously on the Mongoose. The company says this upgrade has been made without adding any cost to the customer.
Hardwood has been used on Barkow's P-Model glazing bodies and large transports for years, as well.
