Running floor drives improved

Improvements to the most popular system sold by KEITH Mfg. Co., has led to the introduction of a two-year warranty on all new Running Floor II DX and ADX drives. Design modifications to the Running Floor II DX include an improved cylinder design, updated check valve design, improved corrosion resistance and a new, standardized tubing design.

This year also brings the introduction of the Running Floor II ADX drive, featuring an automated switching valve.
 “For the past year, we have focused on improvements to the Running Floor II drive,” said Mike Robinson, KEITH Mfg. Co. sales director. “In response to the these design upgrades, we have also extended our warranty to two years on all new models.”

A WALKING FLOOR system is a horizontal unloader, designed to eliminate the need for tipping or dumping. Aluminum slats run the length of the trailer floor and are actuated by a four-phase hydraulic drive. Slats move in groups of three, then together. This sequence “walks” material out. Systems can be bi-directional for both loading and unloading product. With few moving parts, systems are durable and low maintenance.
