Walking Floor transport for pallets and bulk transport
The Walking Floor concept gives Gert Vlastuin Transport access to a large array of transportation resources. The Walking Floor concept is highly valued internationally when it comes to bulk transport, but we also transport combinations of bulk and pallets. One major benefit of Walking Floor transport is that we can deliver to any place our lorries can access. The concept allows cargo to be unloaded without tipping the semi-trailer, also allowing for unloading in areas that are not high enough for tipper trailers
How does Walking Floor work?
The Walking Floor system consists of groups of sets of three slats lying along the length of the truck. When a cargo is unloaded, the entire floor moves rearwards in a single motion, causing part of the cargo to fall out of the trailer. The three sets of slats then pull back one by one, so that the load remains stationary, as only a third of the floor moves at any one time. This process repeats itself until the entire cargo is unloaded.
Of course, it is also possible to reverse this process, to easily load pallets in the back of the semi-trailer, for example.
Walking Floor transport: highly versatile applications
Walking Floor transport is very versatile and can be used in many ways. These might include the transport of pallets and crops, but the transport of animal by-products is also no problem at all for us. We transport animal by-products in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.
