Anyone have a Diamond Plate pattern plastic floor tile like Racedeck or others?

How easy is it to roll engine hoists or heavy equipment on it that have mobile bases? I.E. Tool boxes, hoists, mills, lathes, heck even a large old style Tig. Here is an example of a mobile base: MobileBaseLink

I'm trying to make up my mind and an imagining every scenario in which to be upset at the new floor.

Anything else I missed to consider?

Thanks,

Joe

I have the diamond plate as well as the ribbed. I do not have any super heavy equipment though. The ribbed I would think could be troublesome but the diamond plate are not huge bumps so I have no real issue moving things over it. Will it take more effort? of course but its marginal in my opinion.

No one has that


RaceDeck Diamond is as good as it gets for Diamond and and moving things around. Riibed is good, but you can definitely feel it underneath you. Regular diamond, like TrueLock and other brands, I would not use. Me personally I would use a coin pattern with small, close, coins (like our TrueLock HD coin, RaceDeck coin and many others)

Thank you for the replies. That makes sense on the coin. So many options and trying to balance usability vs. cost.
