Cargo Planks

At Colorado Wood & Metal, we specialize in bringing history back to life with our reclaimed cargo planks. Sourced from old boxcars, railcars, and shipping containers, these planks have stood the test of time, carrying the marks of decades of travel. Their unique character, durability, and rich patina make them an exceptional choice for a wide range of design applications.

What Are Reclaimed Cargo Planks?

Reclaimed cargo planks—also known as boxcar planks—are salvaged from retired railway boxcars and shipping crates. These planks are typically made from dense hardwoods like oak and maple, ensuring longevity and strength. Over years of freight hauling, they have developed a weathered, textured appearance that showcases natural distressing, saw marks, and deep tones that modern materials simply cannot replicate.

Uses for Reclaimed Cargo Planks

Our reclaimed cargo planks are versatile, making them ideal for a variety of residential and commercial applications. Whether you’re designing a rustic farmhouse, an industrial-chic loft, or a modern space with a touch of history, these planks add authenticity and warmth to any project. Popular uses include:

Flooring: Durable and full of character, reclaimed cargo planks make stunning hardwood floors that stand up to heavy foot traffic.
Wall Paneling & Accent Walls: Bring texture and depth to your interiors by incorporating boxcar planks into feature walls.
Furniture & Countertops: Create one-of-a-kind tables, countertops, shelving, and bars with reclaimed wood full of natural charm.
