Spray-on bed liners for Abbotsford trucks

How far is the ProVanWorks shop from Abbotsford?

Abbotsford is Langley's neighbour to the east. Most Abbotsford drivers reach the shop on Highway 1, and from central Abbotsford, Fraser Highway through Aldergrove works just as well. Trucks from Mission cross the Fraser on the Mission Bridge first. A liner keeps the truck at the shop for 1 to 2 days, so if it is your only farm truck, book it for a week when you can spare it.

Why do Abbotsford farm trucks need a bed liner?

Much of Abbotsford is farmland. Pickups on the dairy and poultry farms of Sumas Prairie and Matsqui carry feed bags, wet bedding, manure and hay, and the berry farms load flats and crates into the bed through the summer. Manure and wet bedding are hard on a truck bed because they hold moisture against the paint long after the load is gone. Fence posts, wire and tools then scratch through that paint, and the water reaches bare metal.

The weather in Abbotsford adds to it. Arctic outflow wind comes out of the Fraser Canyon and reaches Abbotsford before most of the valley, often with snow or freezing rain, so Highway 1 and the main roads get salted and the bed collects salty slush. Mats and drop-in liners trap that wet mix underneath them. A spray-on bed liner is bonded to the metal, so there is nothing for manure or salt water to sit under, and the textured surface hoses clean after a dirty load.

Do you also spray liners for Abbotsford work vans?

Yes. The ProVanWorks shop sprays floor liners for cargo and work vans as well as truck beds, covering the floor, lower walls and wheel wells. In Abbotsford that suits vans that spend the day driving between farms, such as equipment service vans and trades vans, where every trip in and out of the cargo area brings mud and gravel off a farm driveway.

How much does a bed liner cost for an Abbotsford truck?

ProVanWorks quotes each bed liner by email, because the price depends on the size of the bed and the condition it is in. Email info@provanworks.com with the year, make and model, the bed length and a few photos of the bed. If a rubber mat has been in the bed for years, lift it and photograph the metal underneath, since that is where rust often starts on a farm truck.

Frequently asked questions

Can a spray-on liner handle a truck that hauls manure every week?

Yes. A liner keeps wet loads such as manure and bedding off the metal, and the bed can be hosed out after each run. The liner does not reverse rust that is already there, so send photos of any rust and we'll tell you what preparation the bed needs before spraying.

Can I get other work done at the Langley shop on the same trip?

Yes. The same shop installs roof fans and A/C in Abbotsford vans, designs and installs van wraps, and builds mobile grooming vans for Abbotsford. Ask for everything in one quote so the jobs can be planned together.
