Heavy-duty epoxy coatings engineered for forklifts and pallet jacks.
Warehouse coatings prioritize impact and abrasion resistance over aesthetics — though a bright, reflective floor also cuts lighting costs and boosts scanner accuracy in high-rack aisles. High-build epoxy and epoxy-urethane hybrids resist forklift point loads and steel wheels, while OSHA-compliant safety striping keeps pick paths, hazards, and equipment zones clearly marked. For 3PLs and distribution centers, contractors typically phase installs bay-by-bay with fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats so operations never fully stop.
High-build epoxy and epoxy-urethane hybrid systems are engineered for the point-load punishment of forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and steel-wheel carts moving pallets thousands of times per day. Typical builds range from 20-mil roll-on for lighter distribution work to 40–60 mil troweled systems for heavy manufacturing, with urethane-mortar overlays 1/8"–1/4" thick reserved for the most abusive point-load and thermal-shock environments. A full spec usually includes crack chase-and-fill, control-joint reinforcement, a pigmented basecoat, an aggregate broadcast for slip resistance in loading zones, OSHA-compliant safety-yellow lane and hazard striping, and a chemical-resistant topcoat that survives daily wash-downs, hydraulic fluid drips, and battery-acid spills in the charging area. A bright, reflective floor also cuts overhead lighting demand and boosts barcode scanner accuracy in tall-rack aisles.
Heavy-traffic warehouses typically use 20–40 mil high-build systems. Areas with steel-wheel or extreme impact loads may require urethane-mortar overlays 1/8"–1/4" thick.
Yes — most installs are phased by aisle or bay, using fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats to return each section to service overnight.
Standard epoxy resists oils, coolants, and mild acids. For aggressive chemicals, novolac epoxy or urethane systems are specified.
Properly specified high-build systems handle pneumatic and cushion forklift tires without issue. Steel or polyurethane wheels require thicker urethane-mortar builds to prevent gouging.
Contractors mask lanes and safety zones and apply a chemical-resistant striping paint or embed colored aggregate into the topcoat. Embedded striping lasts as long as the floor itself.
Yes — safety-yellow for aisle boundaries and physical hazards, red for fire equipment, and any additional facility color code specified by the plant safety plan.
