WALKING FLOOR = AMAZING. Why don't more food companies utilize this?

I never heard of this. Looks pretty cool!

 

I have seen walking floors as well.

it is quite amazing.

The one good time to use a walking floor would be to unload at the customer and instead of waiting for hours for a lumper to move their rear ends.

 

Well first, that walking floor weight something meaning that you can load less. And 2nd you know how megas is all about saving and buying cheapest crap possible, and pretty sure that walking floor is not a cheap thing

 

Oh come on. I'm sure the trainee training rookies at CR England would do a great job explaining how to use this. He's got four whole months experience, after all.

 

I haul wood chips and bark. Some of the guys use walking floor trailers, so while we're all sitting in line to use the truck dump they drive around us and go walk it off. Like was said above though, they are a good bit heavier and more expensive so not sure if the guys that have them actually come out better or not. Also you have to install a wet kit on your truck to make it work.

They are amazing though. A good friend of mine pulled one for years hauling rice hulls to rich folks with expensive horses. They used it for bedding. He could just walk it off in a pile wherever they wanted it.

 

Their an incredible trailer but They have their drawbacks a little expensive to run the seals in the floor need replaced every 2 to 3 years especially if you’re hauling corrosive products once the floor wears out you pull it all out and put new seals in it turn it around and stick it back in.Once that wears out you just put a whole new floor in it ,very expensive.
It’s all hydraulic so you have to have a wet kit on your truck extra weight and money.
And it will walk off a palletize loads really well if the pallets are new and square but if you get a bunch of old crappy pallets it’s a nightmare!
But if used the way they were designed for Cottonseed, cotton meal ,cotton hulls hauling in and out of feedlots and dairys they work really really well and last a long time!
