Ford Transit Custom LWB Flooring: A Practical Upgrade for the 320L Gen II
Ford Transit Custom LWB flooring helps protect the cargo area from the repeated loading, foot traffic, and equipment movement that come with commercial work. For owners carrying tools, delivery cartons or supplies, a well-fitted floor also makes the load space easier to keep tidy.
Sydney Van Lining recently completed a flooring installation for a Ford Transit Custom 320L Gen II, configured with a long wheelbase and a single passenger-side sliding door. The finished installation features black honeycomb-textured flooring, aluminium panel joins, and shaped coverage around the wheel arches and rear loading opening.
Here is a closer look at the project—and what to consider when choosing flooring for your own van.
Built Around the 320L’s Cargo Area
A van floor needs to follow more than the overall length and width of the load space. Wheel arches, door steps, the bulkhead, and loading thresholds all influence how the panels should fit.
In this installation, the flooring follows the cargo-area contours while retaining the vehicle’s existing interior layout. The rear section includes a shaped cut-out around the door-latch area, and the floor extends forward towards the bulkhead.
For buyers, the important starting point is matching the correct vehicle configuration. Check the generation, wheelbase and sliding-door arrangement before ordering. A floor intended for another Transit Custom variant should not be assumed to fit.

Why the Working Surface Matters
The floor is where cartons are placed, toolboxes are lifted, and footwear brings in grit from outside. A protective lining provides a working surface over the factory cargo floor, helping reduce direct contact with these everyday sources of wear.
Our WBP-grade laminated birch plywood combines a rigid panel with a textured laminated surface. The black honeycomb finish gives the cargo area a consistent, professional appearance.
When choosing plywood van flooring, consider both the panel construction and its surface finish. Your requirements may differ depending on whether you carry lightweight parcels, tool cases, or equipment with small wheels.
Our van flooring materials guide explains the differences between common flooring options.
Look Closely at the Joins and Loading Openings
The photographs show two aluminium join strips running across the cargo floor. These connect the separate flooring sections and provide a defined finish where the panels meet.
The loading openings deserve equal attention. At the rear, the shaped panel follows the opening around the latch hardware. At the passenger-side entry, the relationship between the finished floor and the existing step affects how the entrance feels during everyday use.
If you regularly move a trolley or wheeled equipment into the van, mention this before ordering. Wheel size, loading method, and the transition onto the floor are useful details when discussing a suitable installation.
Match the Floor to What You Carry
Think about how your cargo contacts the floor. A broad carton base creates a different contact pattern from a metal toolbox foot or a narrow equipment wheel.
Tell us about unusually heavy items, concentrated contact points and anything that is repeatedly dragged across the surface. This helps us discuss whether the proposed flooring suits your working routine.
Also confirm the finished floor height before measuring equipment clearances. The complete installed floor build-up affects the space beneath drawers, cases and other equipment.
The textured surface does not replace suitable cargo restraints. Plan how loads will be secured and which original anchor points must remain accessible.
Keeping the Finished Floor Presentable
Regular cleaning helps prevent loose grit from being ground into the surface. Sweep or vacuum debris, wipe up spills promptly and follow the recommended cleaning instructions for the flooring supplied.
Pay attention to panel joins and loading edges during routine cleaning. If you notice damage, movement, or a loose fitting, have it checked before it develops further.
A little regular care helps maintain the clean appearance shown in this completed installation.
