An automotive load floor is a flat surface located in the cargo area of a vehicle, designed to support and evenly distribute the weight of cargo. It is typically constructed from durable materials and may be adjustable or removable to accommodate various storage needs. The primary function of an automotive load floor is to provide a stable platform for transporting goods, maximizing storage capacity, and safeguarding the vehicle's interior from damage.

The main types of materials used for automotive load floors include hardboard, fluted polypropylene, honeycomb polypropylene, and composite materials. Hardboard load floors are composed of compressed wood fibers, resulting in a dense, smooth, and resilient surface. These load floors can be fixed or designed to slide, catering to different vehicle types such as compact cars, mid-size vehicles, luxury models, and SUVs. Automotive load floors are distributed through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket channels. They find application in various automotive components such as interior systems, cargo systems, and dedicated load floor systems within vehicles.
