A compact van needs to make efficient use of every part of its cargo area. In the Peugeot Expert L1 from 2016 onwards, manageable exterior dimensions are combined with a practical cargo space that may be exposed to tools, machines, parcels and materials every working day.
The vehicle-specific aluminium chequer plate cargo floor protects the original vehicle floor and creates a robust working surface for commercial use. The combination of birch plywood and a durable aluminium five-bar chequer plate surface is particularly suitable for service vehicles, trade businesses, delivery operations and other professionally used panel vans.
Does this aluminium chequer plate floor fit my Peugeot Expert L1?
In short: This cargo floor is designed for the Peugeot Expert L1H1 from 2016 onwards with a wheelbase of 2,925 mm and an overall vehicle length of 4,609 mm. It is available in 9 mm or 12 mm thickness. The 9 mm version can optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails. The floor is designed exclusively for the corresponding panel van and is not suitable for passenger/combi vehicles with seat rails or double-cab versions.
Compact Expert – a robust cargo floor for everyday work
The short Peugeot Expert combines compact vehicle dimensions with a cargo area designed for professional use. This makes the L1 particularly interesting for businesses that regularly operate in urban areas, on construction sites, at customer locations or on service calls.
Vehicles used in this way often place considerable demands on the cargo floor. Toolboxes are loaded and unloaded, machines are put down, parcels are moved and materials are transported directly on the floor.
The aluminium surface provides a robust upper working layer over the birch plywood and protects the vehicle floor underneath from direct contact with cargo, dirt and moisture.

Why choose an aluminium chequer plate floor for a work van?
A professionally used van floor is subjected to considerably more wear than a vehicle used only occasionally. Repeated loading and unloading, together with moving tools, boxes and other cargo across the floor, can leave visible signs of use over time.
With this cargo floor, the five-bar aluminium chequer plate forms the upper working surface, while the birch plywood underneath provides the supporting base.
This combination is particularly suitable for commercial vehicles where a durable and practical working surface is a priority.
Aluminium chequer plate or a conventional wooden cargo floor?
Both types of floor can be suitable for a commercial vehicle. The right choice depends primarily on how the cargo area will be used.

9 mm or 12 mm – two floor versions for the Expert L1
The aluminium chequer plate cargo floor is available in 9 mm and 12 mm thickness. One important factor when choosing between the two versions is whether recessed Airline Rails are required.

If you want to combine the cargo floor with recessed Airline Rails, choose the 9 mm version.
Optional Airline Rails for changing transport requirements
The 9 mm version can optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails.
The rails are recessed across the direction of travel and bonded into the cargo floor. Combined with compatible Airline Rail accessories, they provide additional attachment points for flexible load securing.
This can be particularly useful in a compact service or delivery vehicle. If tools are carried one day and a different type of cargo the next, the available attachment points can be used according to the current transport task.
Important:
Recessed Airline Rails are available exclusively with the 9 mm version of the cargo floor.
Vehicle-specific CNC machining for the Peugeot Expert L1
The cargo floor is CNC-machined to match the vehicle-specific contours of the Expert L1. The individual floor sections are positioned inside the vehicle and screwed together.
The supplied recessed lashing-point cups are fitted into the prepared cut-outs and secured using the vehicle's original lashing points.
A suitable adhesive can also be used where required to further reduce movement between the vehicle floor and the cargo floor.

Practical tip: Make every part of the compact Expert work for you
Careful planning is particularly useful in the compact Expert L1. The cargo floor, shelving, tool cabinets and load-securing equipment all share a limited amount of space and should therefore be considered as part of the same vehicle conversion.
If you plan to use Airline Rails, consider which types of cargo will regularly need to be secured before ordering. This makes it easier to integrate the available attachment points into your everyday working routine.
