What a Live Floor Conveyor Is

and How it Works

Entire trailer loads are unloaded at once by: Conveying all

of the slats together in one direction for a stroke; Keeping two

thirds of the slats stationary and retracting one third at a time

under the load to their original position; Then conveying all of

the slats together again.

The slats are divided into three groups and each group is

driven by a hydraulic cylinder. There are very few moving

parts.

First Group Retract Second Group Retract

Third Group Retract

All Groups Convey Together

A Live Floor conveyor is made of multiple slats or boards

that are as long as the conveyor. The slats are arranged

side by side and all at the same level so they cover the

entire width of the floor. They don't move up and down or

side to side, only back and forth.
