What's the deal with walking floor trailers?

Titan is a good solid trailer, but they are a trash trailer, and heavy. Their floors often have much deeper grooves in than ours do.

 

I haven't hauled then myself, but they are used exclusively for hauling trash, and I see them on the highway all the time, they certainly look heavy.

Good to know the differences. Thanks

 

We have both titan and western trailer at work for trash hauling. Hands down the titan is a very much better built trailer than western trailers. The westerns use a thin sidewall and have a lot of flex in them when taking corners or driving on uneven ground.

 

Yeah I can imagine. The landfill my wife and son work at has end dumps come in a the time. Once in awhile one gets tired and lays down on its side for a nap. Not a fun experience I'm sure for all concerned.

 

Large cities use them to haul garbage far away; also recycling. They use both hard and soft tops. They're loaded by compactors at transfer stations. As was said above, they're also used for wood shavings, mulch and other agricultural products.

I'd look for trucking companies in the agricultural sector. GFL runs a lot of garbage loads. So does Laidlaw/Transforce.
