What is a Walking Floor Trailer?

A walking floor trailer is also known as a moving floor trailer. This is a type of trailer used for transporting loose bulk goods that are difficult to unload using traditional methods such as tipping. The most distinctive feature of a walking floor trailer is that the floor is movable and often consists of aluminium or steel plates driven by hydraulic cylinders.

How Does a Walking Floor Work?

A walking floor can unload its cargo easily in three steps. The movable floor, with its sliding panels, allows for more efficient loading and unloading than normal enclosed trailers. The panels on the floor are divided into several groups. Group by group, the sliding panels in a walking floor move from the back to the front. This pushes the load forward, allowing it to be unloaded without tipping the trailer. The hydraulic floor can also often move in the opposite direction. This not only makes unloading easier but also facilitates convenient loading. The loading and unloading of goods are often controlled by a driver from the cab, who can regulate the floor's movement via hydraulic controls. This makes it possible to unload loads precisely and efficiently.

What is a Walking Floor Used For?

A walking floor trailer is regularly used to load bulk goods from the top and unload them from the rear. A walking floor is very versatile and can be used for loads such as compost, wood, raw materials, and waste products. Nowadays, you can also transport pallets and other large packages with a walking floor. These are moved slowly and safely forward, just like bulk goods. Special options you can consider include: remote control, electric cover, wear plates, and side doors.

Loading Space of a Walking Floor

• Length of Loading Space: The loading space of a walking floor is quite large and can vary in size depending on the model. Most walking floor trailers have a length of approximately 13 metres, which corresponds to the standard length of a truck trailer.

• Width of Loading Space: The width of the loading space usually ranges between 2.4 and 2.6 metres. This offers enough space to load various types of bulk goods while also meeting the legal requirements for vehicle width on the road.

• Height of Loading Space: The height of the loading space ranges between 2.5 and 3 metres, typically around 2.7 metres. A generous height of the loading space is important because it makes it easier to load different types of cargo, including bulk goods that can have considerable height.

• Volume of Loading Space: A moving floor trailer can transport volumes of up to about 90 m³. The actual capacity can vary depending on factors such as the length, width, and height of the loading space.

• Total Weight: The empty weight of a walking floor trailer usually ranges between 7,000 kg and 10,000 kg, depending on the material the trailer is made of. The maximum load weight of a walking floor trailer is determined by various factors, including the dimensions of the trailer, the strength of the hydraulic floor, and the legal weight restrictions applicable in the country or region where the trailer is used. In many cases, the maximum load weight can vary between 25 tonnes and more than 30 tonnes.
