Used Moving Floor Semi-Trailers
Optimize your palletized cargo operations with used semi-trailers equipped with hydraulic moving floor systems. These specialized trailers feature automated floor conveyance technology that streamlines loading and unloading without requiring forklifts to enter the trailer. The innovative system maintains a level floor while efficiently moving goods, offering significant advantages over conventional loading methods.
Popular Moving Floor Trailer Brands and Models
The market features trailers equipped with STAS and other leading moving floor systems designed specifically for palletized cargo handling. These systems are engineered for smooth, controlled movement of goods through hydraulic power. Units typically feature robust construction with reinforced floors capable of handling heavy loads while maintaining operational efficiency.
Types of Moving Floor Systems
Moving floor systems utilize parallel floor slats driven by hydraulic cylinders to smoothly convey palletized goods. The systems can be operated in both forward and reverse directions, allowing for flexible loading and unloading. Unlike traditional tipping trailers, these systems maintain a level platform throughout the process, ensuring cargo stability and safety. The hydraulic drive components are designed for reliable, consistent performance under heavy use.
Specifications and Dimensions of Used Moving Floor Trailers
Moving floor trailers come in configurations optimized for standard pallet dimensions and weights. Key specifications include floor load capacity, hydraulic system pressure ratings, and conveyor speed settings. Consider the trailer's interior dimensions relative to your typical pallet configurations and required cargo volume. The system's power requirements and hydraulic specifications should match your operational needs.
When evaluating a used moving floor trailer, focus on the hydraulic system's condition and performance. Check the floor slats for wear patterns and smooth operation. Verify the hydraulic pump and control systems function properly. Assess the trailer's overall structural integrity, particularly around load-bearing areas.
Common Applications and Industries for Moving Floor Trailers
These specialized trailers excel in industries requiring frequent loading and unloading of palletized goods. They're particularly valuable in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and logistics operations where quick turnaround times are essential. The system's ability to operate without additional loading equipment makes it ideal for facilities with limited space or resources. Industries benefiting from this technology include retail distribution, manufacturing logistics, and warehouse operations where efficient handling of palletized loads is crucial.
