    Around here I only see walking floors hauling mulch, compost and things of that nature. Trash haulers use tippers at the landfill.

    many many moons ago I pulled a wilkens walking floor we hauled mulch,sawdust and wood fibre but would occassionally get backhauls , I have hauled palletts with drums of wax and paint,pallets with steel banding, super sacks, kiln dried banded lumber,40' steel I beams and even a tow motor once...you can haul about anything just booming things down is an issue due to alum floor...

    The guys are right you can load it with just about anything. Because the landfill did not have a tipper we used walking floor trailers. I hauled trash, construction debris, mulch, pallets, dirt/rocks just about everything. Sometimes the product can get stuck or it all don't come out you will have to get back there with a broom or if you were smart will use a piece of carpet. And if you overload it it won't work trust me.
