DURA-TUFF
SWINE FLOOR SYSTEMS
Dura-Tuff swine flooring systems offer the optimum environment for swine production.
Our Nursery Floor System provides the combination of high impact, wear resistant plastic flooring with rust and corrosion proof fiberglass beam to create clean, comfortable, long lasting flooring for your pigs.
Our Farrowing Floor System offers the combination of cast iron sow floor (raised or flat), and plastic creep floor all on a fiberglass support system. The cool surface for the sow and warm surface for the piglets provides a comfortable surface for both, reduces the crush factor, and improves your mortality rate.
For information on each system and detailed installation instructions please select the installation tab above.
Manufacturer recommends storing product away from exposure to the sun, as its U.V. rays and other general weather conditions will diminish the life the product. Exposure to outside weather elements voids all warranties.
NURSERY FLOOR SYSTEM
Durability
Plastic swine flooring is made out of high grade virgin polypropylene material. This makes the Dura-Tuff wear and impact resistance superior to other plastic floors.
Non-Porous
Our solid plastic construction resists bacteria build up and sheds waste easily.
Warm Surface
Plastic swine floor does not rob pigs of body heat. University studies indicate pigs on plastic floor versus metal floor have shown a 15% improvement in their feed to gain ratio due to less stress.
Cleanability
Our new 24″ x 24″ (610mm x 610mm) & 18″ x 24″ (458mm x 610mm) floor have 7/16″ (11mm) openings for better manure filtration. Alternate ribs are elevated. This design feature prevents manure from being pushed to the corners, which can cause premature corrosion on the steel penning.
Superior Traction
Our high/low rib design provides superior traction even when wet.
Interlocking System
Our interlocking system creates a 1/4″ (7mm) opening at the end of the floor where it connects to the next floor and a 1/4″ (7mm) gap on the sides. These design features are superior to floors which fit tight on the ends and sides. Tight fitting floors create areas where manure can build up making it harder to clean.
Support System
Plastic swine floor can be supported by our corrosion/rust proof fiberglass beams or 1/4″ (7mm) galvanized steel beams.
FARROWING FLOOR SYSTEM
Our system offers raised or flat cast iron sow center and plastic creep floor on fiberglass or galvanized steel support beams. We also offer an all plastic farrowing floor.
Reduces Crush Factor
Our cast iron sow center provides a cool surface for the sow while the plastic creep area provides a warm surface for the piglets. This combination will keep the piglets on the warm plastic surface and reduce the crush factor.
Better Access to Teats
Our raised sow center provides a better access to teats for nursing. The cast iron is raised 1″ (26mm) which puts the teats in the optimal position while the piglets stay safe in the creep area.
Flexibility
Fits most farrowing crate dimensions. Available with raised or flat cast sow center.
Alternative Sow Center
Dura-Tuff plastic creep floor can also be used with Dura-Tuff Plastic Sow Floor Tri-Bar®, woven wire, and coated wire sow centers.

5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Subject to the terms set forth herein, Manufacturer grants a 5-year limited warranty from the date of purchase for defects in workmanship, which cause a failure of the flooring system. This limited warranty depends strictly on installation (purchaser must request installation instructions if not received) being properly carried out in accordance with instructions from the Manufacturer and only applies to the flooring system. This limited warranty is not valid if the flooring system is used to support swine weighing over 25 pounds per square foot for nursery/creep area floor, or over 40 pounds per square foot for sow floor, or if slats are not adequately supported or in any instance where damage, or failure has occurred as a result of assembly, attachment, or modification. (If purchaser has any questions with regard to installation, support, assembly, attachment, or modification, purchaser should request and receive written instructions from Manufacturer to prevent this warranty from being invalidated.) Manufacturer is not responsible for loss or damage, which occurs for any reason beyond its control, including fire, acts of God, misuse or abuse. Purchaser’s remedy hereunder is limited to the replacement of any defective component of the flooring system, and any cost (including freight) with respect to the removal/disposal of any defective part or the installation of any replacement component shall be borne by the purchaser. Manufacturer shall not be liable for consequential or incidental damages which might arise as a result of the failure of any flooring part to comply with this limited warranty or otherwise. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES (EXCEPT THOSE CONTAINED HEREIN) AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FLOORING, AND MANUFACTURER DOES NOT WARRANT THE MERCHANTIBILITY (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) OF THE FLOORING NOR ITS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE AND THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. IF MANUFACTURER FURNISHED PURCHASER WITH SAMPLES FOR EXAMINATION, PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE RELIED ON ITS EXAMINATION THEREOF. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF AND PURCHASER AGREES THAT THE ONLY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHICH HAVE FORMED THE BASIS OF PURCHASER’S BARGAIN ARE THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. This warranty is available only to the original purchaser and end user. There shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof and this warranty cannot be assigned. To make a warranty claim the purchaser must notify manufacturer in writing at its head office in Dallas, Texas, within ten (10) days of its discovery of any defect or problem, and return the flooring parts to the corporate office at purchaser’s expense. Manufacturer shall have a reasonable time to evaluate, investigate and process the claim, and manufacturer’s decision as to the applicability of this warranty to the claim shall be binding on purchaser. The terms of this warranty are exclusive and may not be altered or changed, and no variation from its terms will be binding unless contained in a writing signed by an officer of Manufacturer.
Manufacturer may also have issued “TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE” to the purchaser in connection with the flooring purchase. To the extent that the terms of this limited warranty differ from the “TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE”, the terms of this limited warranty shall control.

SISTEMAS DE PISOS DURA-TUFF® – GARANTÍA LIMITADA A 5 AÑOS
Apegándose a las cláusulas mencionadas aquí y a continuación, el fabricante concede 5 años de garantía limitada a partir de la fecha de compra como cobertura por los defectos en la mano de obra, que pudieran causar una falla en el sistema de pisos. Esta garantía limitada depende estrictamente de la instalación (el adquiriente deberá solicitar el instructivo, si no lo recibió) llevada a cabo apropiadamente y apegándose a las instrucciones del fabricante y que a su vez solamente les son pertinentes a los sistemas de pisos. Esta garantía limitada se nulificará si el sistema de pisos se utiliza como un medio de apoyo para porcinos con un peso superior a las 25 libras por pie cuadrado en el caso de pisos para crianza y/o escurrimiento, ó si su peso es de 40 libras por pie cuadrado en el caso de pisos de hierro dúctil, ó si las rejillas no se apoyaron adecuadamente ó si en cualquier instancia se dañaron o sufrieron fallas que hayan ocurrido como resultado de su ensamble, sujeción o modificación. (Si el adquiriente tiene cualquier duda relacionada con la instalación, soporte, ensamble, sujeción o modificación, el adquiriente deberá solicitar y recibir las instrucciones escritas del fabricante, para prevenir que se nulifique esta garantía.) El fabricante no se responsabiliza de las pérdidas y perjuicios que ocurran por cualquier razón fuera de su control, que incluyen los incendios, a causa de una fuerza mayor, uso equivocado o abuso. El remedio al adquiriente, según se menciona a continuación, se limita a la reposición de cualquier componente defectuoso del sistema de pisos. Cualquier gasto incurrido (que incluye el flete) relacionado con el retiro/desecho de cualquier parte defectuosa o la instalación de cualquier reposición de cualquier componente de repuesto será a cargo del adquiriente. El fabricante no se responsabilizará de los daños consecuenciales o incidentales que pudieran surgir como resultado de una falla en cualquiera de las partes de los pisos, con el fin de cumplir con esta garantía limitada o de alguna otra manera. NO SE ESTABLECEN GARANTÍAS EXPRESAMENTE DICHAS (CON EXCEPCIÓN A LAS MENCIONADAS AQUÍ) NI GARANTÍAS IMPLÍCITAS CON RESPECTO A LOS PISOS Y EL FABRICANTE NO GARANTIZA LA COMERCIABILIDAD (EXPRESADA O IMPLÍCITA) DE LOS PISOS NI SU ADECUACIÓN PARA UN USO O PROPÓSITO EN PARTICULAR NI GARANTÍAS IMPLÍCITAS QUE SURJAN DURANTE EL TRANSCURSO DE SU MANEJO, USO O MERCADO. SI EL FABRICANTE LE PROPORCIONÓ AL ADQUIRIENTE ALGUNAS MUESTRAS PARA SER EXAMINADAS, EL ADQUIRIENTE SE SUJETARÁ A LA CONFIABILIDAD DE SU EXAMEN AQUÍ MENCIONADO. NO EXISTEN GARANTÍAS QUE SE AMPLÍEN MÁS ALLÁ DE LA DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA CARÁTULA AQUÍ IMPRESA Y EL ADQUIRIENTE ESTÁ DE ACUERDO QUE LAS ÚNICAS REPRESENTACIONES O GARANTÍAS QUE HAYAN SURGIDO DE LA BASE DE LA OFERTA HECHA AL ADQUIRIENTE SON AQUELLAS EXPRESADAS Y ESTABLECIDAS EN LA PRESENTE. Esta garantía solamente estará a la disposición del adquiriente original y el usuario final. No existirán beneficiarios ajenos en el futuro y esta garantía no podrá serle asignada a terceros. Si el adquiriente desea reclamar una garantía, el adquiriente deberá notificárselo al fabricante por escrito en sus oficinas centrales en la ciudad de Dallas, Texas dentro del transcurso de (10) diez días posteriores al haberse determinado cualquier defecto o problema, y devolver las partes del piso a las oficinas corporativas y con cargo al adquiriente. El fabricante tendrá el tiempo razonable para evaluar, investigar y procesar la reclamación, y la decisión del fabricante en cuando a la adaptabilidad de esta garantía con la reclamación, será obligatoria para el adquiriente. Las cláusulas de esta garantía son exclusivas y no podrán alterarse ni modificarse y ninguna variable de dichas cláusulas será obligatoria, salvo aquellas mencionadas por escrito y firmadas por un funcionario del fabricante.
El fabricante también pudo haberle establecido al adquiriente “CLÁUSULAS Y CONDICIONES POR LA VENTA” que están relacionadas con la adquisición del piso. Hasta donde pudieran ampliarse las cláusulas de esta garantía limitada, y que difieran de las “CLÁUSULAS Y CONDICIONES POR LA VENTA”, regirán las cláusulas de esta garantía limitada.
