Thinner plates around 0.8 - 2.0 mm might be suitable for lighter - duty trailers where weight reduction is a priority, while thicker ones between 3.0 - 10.0 mm are more appropriate for heavy - duty trailers that need to carry large loads and endure more wear and tear.

Potential Procurement Time in 2025

1. At the Beginning of the Year (January - March): Many companies in Germany start their new production plans      and budgets at the beginning of the year. Trailer manufacturers and auto      parts suppliers may place orders for aluminum diamond plates during this      period to ensure they have sufficient raw materials for the upcoming      production tasks. They might want to start production early to meet the      market demand for trailers in the first half of the year.

After these events, companies      may be inspired by new product concepts and technologies. Trailer      manufacturers may decide to upgrade their trailer designs, which could      lead to an increased demand for aluminum diamond plates for new and      improved trailer flooring.

3. Before the Peak Season of Logistics (September - November): The logistics industry in Germany experiences a peak season      before the holiday period. To meet the increased demand for      transportation, trailer manufacturers and fleet management companies may      purchase aluminum diamond plates to expand their trailer fleets or improve      the existing ones.
