Picked up ~550 sq ft of these plastic tiles locally for a song. They snap together pretty easily, I did most of the garage in about 2 hours this morning. I'll finish up when the wood flooring for the kitchen gets moved out of the garage. I may need to buy some more tiles and I want to get the trim strips, but so far I'm pretty stoked about it!
You got those for a song?!? I really need to learn how to sing.
The tiles look great. Looks like a nice garage set up you have going
I dig it.
Im a fan, for sure
Nice!
Looks nice!
Care to share the source of your good fortune?
Jealous!
Looks great!
Saaahhweeet!
how well would something like that deal with the loading from a cherry picker with 800 pounds of Chevy motor and transmission hanging from it?
Looks great. I also am interested in Derrik's question...
Racedeck says their tiles are good for an 80K lb rolling load, but I couldn't find a static PSI rating.

I think RaceDeck is officially rated for 25K lb rolling load. Another product of theirs (Revolution) has a higher 75K rating.
But I don't think that answers the question about a cherry picker.
I'm guessing a "rolling load" means a vehicle, properly distributed on 4 tires and their respective contact patches.
The same RaceDeck that is rated for 25K rolling load is also rated for 250 psi.
A cherry picker with a 700 lb engine/trans on it with most of the weight leaning on the front 2 wheels has significantly less than 25K overall load, but significantly more than 250 psi on the contact patches of the 2 front wheels.
Bought em used from a local guy who was selling them on a motorcycle forum I'm on. $400 and he even brought em to my house for me in his truck.
Not sure what they're rated for, but they easily supported his 3/4 ton diesel truck held up on a bottle jack. Shouldn't be an issue for a cherry picker or my AC Hydraulics floor jack as my cars weigh much less than a 2500.
Next up is insulating and dry walling the garage and hanging a gas furnance/heater. We're redoing the kitchen in our house and I'm having the plumber run the gas line to the garage at the same time.
In reply to docwyte:
Man that is a smoking' deal good for you
Been wanting these tiles for awhile, but the cost always stopped me. When these popped up locally I had to pull the trigger, despite the eye rolling from my wife.
