Walking Floor Trailers
A walking floor is a type of semi-trailer equipped with a moving floor. This consists of hydraulically driven slats positioned along the length of the trailer. Moving the slats by several centimetres in sequence allows rapid unloading and loading without the risk of tipping. This advanced mechanism allows safe unloading without additional equipment, even in unusual locations. Despite the use of a specialised movable floor system, such trailers retain their standard internal dimensions and load capacity.

Why choose a walking floor trailer? What can it transport?
Walking floor trailers are equipped with rigid side walls and a movable roof for quick top loading. They are ideal for bulk loads such as woodchips, grain, fodder or sand. The use of a walking floor allows the loading process to be handled safely:
Goods and industries that most often choose walking floor trailers:
feeds, cereals
agricultural crops
building materials
wood and woodchips
raw materials
waste
Economical carriage of bulk goods
The transportation of loose loads is a specialised field that demands advanced technologies to optimise efficiency. One notable solution is the moving floor, also known as the walking floor. Our company offers trailers equipped with this technology, which lead to substantial reductions in both handling time and costs.
Walking floor semi-trailer - specialised movable floor to facilitate loading and unloading
The walking floor semi-trailer consists of hydraulically driven slats that are positioned along the length of the semi-trailer. Thanks to the use of a sophisticated control system, it is possible to precisely and automatically control their position in the correct sequence. The slats rise and move up to a distance of several centimetres, enabling rapid loading and unloading without the risk of tilting or damaging the semi-trailer.
The use of a walking floor allows the handling process to be handled safely in:
-
places with limited height,
-
loading points where the terrain is unstable and unpaved.
Walking floor - dimensions and technical specifications
Our company is pleased to offer premium freight transport services utilising cutting-edge walking floor trailers. These trailers are designed specifically for the transportation of bulk materials, including feed, grain, construction materials (e.g. sand, cement), and waste. It is important to note that, despite the advanced technology employed, our trailers adhere to standard dimensions.
The cargo space of the walking floor transport trailer has a capacity of up to 92 cubic metres and its dimensions are 13.53 m x 2.48 m x 2.69 - 2.78 m (length x width x height at the front and rear of the trailer).The maximum load capacity of the trailers is 23.5 tonnes. The semi-trailers are equipped with rigid steel side walls and a movable roof that allows loading from the top, making them suitable for transporting big bags, barrels and palletised goods.
We offer professional service, a high technical standard of semi-trailers and reliable support at every stage of the service. If you are unsure whether a walking floor trailer is the optimal solution for your shipment, please do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information. We warmly invite you to make use of our services, which draw on our extensive experience in domestic and international transport.
FAQ
GMP+ FSA (Feed Safety Assurance) is a certification aimed at ensuring the safety of feed fed to livestock. This standard covers all stages of feed production and therefore applies to both cultivation and transport. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and the '+' symbolises integration with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). The GMP+ certification has set the standard for the quality of our order handling since 2016.
ISO 22000 specifies the requirements for food safety management systems, applicable to all organisations in the food production chain, from cultivation and farming to retail. ISO 22000 sets a standard that is relevant not only for food producers, but also for manufacturers of equipment, packaging, cleaning products, food additives and ingredients. At our company, we are committed to ensuring the safety of the food and its ingredients we transport and store, and as proof of this commitment, we have been ISO certified for 15 years.
The spacious set is an excellent choice for transporting relatively light goods due to its ability to carry up to 38 pallets. However, due to the two loading spaces, the loading and unloading process may be lengthier. During loading, the trailer typically needs to be uncoupled first to allow the truck to be filled with goods, and then re-coupled by the driver to continue loading. The new jumbo trucks in the MEXEM fleet offer a more efficient solution by allowing loading without unbuckling the trailer, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the process. These trucks feature openable rear and front walls of the vehicle's load compartment and trailer, which are fitted with a drop-down aluminium platform, enabling the truck to manoeuvre between the load boxes.
The ATP Convention is an international document that details the standards associated with the transport of food and other perishable goods. Road transport is subject to the Convention, so any vehicle used for the transport of perishable goods must have a certificate of conformity for the means of transport, commonly referred to as an ATP certificate. The certificate is valid for six years, after which further tests must be carried out every three years. These certificates are issued by institutions designated by the Ministry of Transport. All our refrigerated semi-trailers are, as a matter of course, equipped with ATP certificates.
The mega semi-trailer is distinguished by its very large volume, reaching almost 100 cubic metres (which is approximately 10% more volume than a standard semi-trailer). Increasing the load compartment while maintaining the permissible overall height of the vehicle is made possible by lowering the frame and increasing the height of the trailer interior. The hydraulically raised roof makes it easier to load and fully utilise the height of the loading space, which reaches almost 3 metres. A prime example of the advantages of mega-trailers over standard semi-trailers is the ability to carry not two, but three floors of goods such as cookers or washing machines, all while maintaining safety standards.
The maximum weight of a pallet placed on the floor of our double deck semi-trailers is approximately 300 kg (the load capacity of each beam is 1 tonne). The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm. Our double decks are available with a rigid body or are additionally equipped with insulation and a refrigeration unit and can therefore function as a double-deck refrigerated trailer.
