We choose to supply Altro as our primary floor option due to its ability to hold up and provide safe, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing options for our customers. We have not had a single warranty, or failure with our Altro flooring installations in over 18 years. This is why we continue to use Altro.
The durable, lightweight and safe construction of Altro transport floors make them perfect flooring solutions for adapted transport and specialist mobility vehicles. We understand that users of specialist mobility vehicles need an easy, fuss-free and reliable performance from their vehicles, and here at Altro, we do all we can to design products which facilitate the best possible experience for passengers, carers and drivers using adapted transport vehicles. Altro’s floors for adapted transport and specialist mobility vehicles are lightweight, flexible, and are compatible with a range of installation services to make intricate installations easier and more reliable.
A strong concern for adapted transport vehicles is for the safety of everyone using them: not just the individual for whom the vehicle is adapted for, but the operatives as well. Safety floors for use in adapted transport vehicles need to perform to the highest standard at every part of the journey, whether it’s on the access ramp or the main body of the vehicle. Altro Transflor Chroma EV, Altro Transflor Figura EV, and Altro Transflor Meta are engineered to offer excellent, sustained slip resistance, even when subjected to a range of contaminants, and with their durable construction, maintain their excellent slip performance journey after journey.
Adapted transport vehicles see a wide range of traffic including wheelchairs and stretchers as well as high, concentrated footfall. Wear and tear can cause failures in a badly constructed floor, meaning that the vehicle is out of action while repairs take place. For minimal downtime and a safe environment, a durable floor, compliant to key durability tests, is top priority. All Altro floors for adapted transport pass castor chair abrasion tests and show excellent performance to EN ISO 24343-1, for residual indentation, and EN 13845, for wear resistance.

Adapted transport services can cover over 120km per day with varied distances, loads and routes, and with the global industry turning toward green energy, fuel efficiency has never been more scrutinised. When one specialist mobility vehicle might go out with a wide variety of different types of loads, the basic chassis build has to be as lightweight as possible to allow for a flexible payload. A lightweight floor can help save precious kilograms per square metre, but it is key to ensure that a lightweight build does not compromise on safety or durability. Altro floors are engineered to be lightweight without compromise to allow for greater performance both in fuel efficiency and in practical usage.
A correct, high quality installation is key to ensuring that flooring for adapted transport continues to perform for the service life of the vehicle. We offer a range of installation services to help ensure that fitters attain the highest quality, best performing flooring installation possible.
Where flexible modular layout solutions are used to allow for different vehicle configurations, installation of vinyl floor can be tricky where the installation areas are small and exact. Altro’s pre-cut flooring service can help take the guesswork and risk associated with precise cutting out of the equation, by having flooring pre-cut to order using our in-house cutting technology. Receive flooring in handy, smaller rolls, ready to roll out, trim and fit into place, saving time and waste.
If a fast, lighter weight installation is required, ask us about our self-adhesive service, available for use in conjunction with our pre-cut services. By receiving your flooring pre-cut with a pre-applied layer of adhesive on the undercoat, all fitters need to do is peel, stick, roll, weld and continue with the installation as planned in a fast, easy installation. Furthermore, by using our self-adhesive service, operators can save up to 60% on adhesive weight per square metre, facilitating even greater fuel economy.
