Specialty Trailer FAQ

What is a walking floor (live floor) trailer used for?

A walking floor trailer uses a reciprocating floor system — alternating slats that move backward to discharge bulk material from the rear without tipping. Used for wood chips, recycling, municipal solid waste, agricultural products, and other bulk materials that can't be end-dumped. They are slower to unload than tip trailers but can discharge in low-clearance facilities.
