    Hello waste haulers!

    What is the correct term for the kind of trash trailer that has a swing open rear door, and a hydraulic ram pushes the inside front wall of the trailer towards the rear, which pushes out all the trash?

    I worked with them years ago at the county dump, but I never could get a reliable answer on what they are called. Thanks.

    Could it have been some type of walking floor trailer?

    I always thought that a walking floor trailer had a floor that moved. This one just had a ram that pushed a slab of metal the same size as the front of the trailer all the way to the rear. I think a company called Aerial made them.

    They call that an ejector trailer.

    That's it. An "ejector push out" trailer. I know, I figured something more than that too.:dontknow:
