Why use Blackwood?

  • SAFER

    Blackwood provides superior traction on any surface it’s applied to. From trailers to boat docks, Blackwood Lumber prevents slipping and makes loading equipment easier and safer, even in wet conditions.

  • STRONGER

    Blackwood is made with the highest quality lumber, which is strengthened by the infusion process. The industrial grade rubber infused in Blackwood is the same rubber used at gun ranges to absorb bullets. Blackwood is made to withstand heavy impact that would crack and damage normal lumber.

  • LONGER

    The rubber infusion in Blackwood doesn’t fade or crack like lumber. It also doesn’t stain and can be easily cleaned with water. Blackwood lasts longer than normal lumber and will keep your trailer or other surface looking new and professional for years to come.

BLACKWOOD CLASSIC

Blackwood is an exceptionally durable trailer deck solution. The rubber helps absorb heavy impacts that might crack or damage typical lumber. This ultra-durable material also can handle twisting and torque of equipment like rubber-tracked skid steers without issue.

BLACKWOOD PRO

Blackwood Pro is made with a dense industrial grade rubber that absorbs heavy impacts and doesn’t split, crack or splinter like lumber. The top of the board, being a fully covered rubber surface, is easy to clean, prevents slipping and makes loading equipment easier and safer, even in wet conditions.

  • "We are going on a year and a half of having the Blackwood lumber on our Doolittle Trailer. Whether it is my 16 foot trailer or my 40 foot, I think Blackwood has a place on every trailer."

    Jake Moorhead of Moorhead Offroad Engineering

  • "I think the biggest problem with a regular wood deck on a trailer is if it mists, dews, gets muddy or anything, it gets slick quick. Even after a light rain, it gets to be like a slip ‘n slide on the back. With this stuff, I step out and know I’m not going to fall down. The bike won’t slide around either. I’ll pull the bike up on there with a lot of mud on the tires… before, without it, I’d slide left and right. With this, it’s got traction on it."

    John Micheal Stewart with Ricky and the Boss

  • "I’ve had Blackwood for several years, 5 or 6 I believe. It is great for longevity, and it is great for slip resistance. All around, it’s a great product. We have several different trailers, a couple of them having full tilt decks. It tends to be hard for buggies to climb the regular wood on that slope. Since we have installed the blackwood, it has changed the game and it makes it a lot safer. It makes me feel better when loading the buggies. Blackwood is a great all around product. The company and the people… they are just great. I’d recommend it to anybody."

    Chris Cantrell of Monsters of the South

  • “In my business, Blackwood Lumber is the best investment I’ve made. It’s a lifesaver, without a doubt. You don’t want to look like a fool in front of your customers, trying to load equipment. I’m blown away by its strength and durability. It’s about safety for me. I want to employ people and I want them to be safe. Blackwood is a timesaver, this is the only way to load lighter equipment.”
