Thinking about getting a walking floor trailer. I’ve never had one so I don’t know the ins and outs about them. I know you can haul mulch type material and I’ve seen corn being hauled with them. What about the heavier, more course materials like sand, drag sand, cme and larger aggregates? What about smaller grains like wheat, milo? Haul fertilizer in them without any problems? Thanks in advance for any positive input!!

There is so much to explain about floors. I type one finger. You are not going to haul sand or aggregate often in a floor. Some sand will lock floor up.
We're running floors for over 20 years. I'm fussy and protective and OPINIONATED about this. You're welcome to call me 602-679-0519. I'll give you my 2 cents for what you pay for it. Late day evening best. Art Pfluger |

I've gained sodium bicarbonate in one. I had to lay out plastic before hand but it worked. It sucked but it worked. I haul road salt every other day with one. Aggregates would destroy the aluminum floor because it's so abrasive.

I don't personally own one, but I was interested in it at one point. It's an expensive belt to replace, I was told $10K to purchase not including installation. You have to be careful not to get rocks or other abrasive caught by the drum roller and rip the belt. And the sensors to cycle it back and forth need to be kept clean or it won't completely cycle correctly.

A belt trailer may be more suited for you to haul that variety. I have 1 floor and it will be my last, I've been using the belts more.

I have to agree with these other guys a belt would probably be a better option. Company I'm leased to has all Wetern belt trailers we haul wet/dry distillers, fertilizer, salt, rock/sand, grain, cottonseed, soybean meal. All of it comes out as easy as it goes in the trailer. |

Trinity is absoulutely a good durable brand for jobsite work. But if youre hauling commodities and want tonnage, I prefer the Western. No doubt the better looking trailer of the two.

We sell bulk ground wood chips/wood fiber for playground surfacing all over the US and CN. We ship out of all of our locations by walking floor trailers. We're looking for new locations that can make our wood fiber (a type of mulch) nationally. Please let me know if anyone out there has access to material (no pallets) as well as trucking. Thank you! |
