The Keith V-Floor in action!

Much has been said about walking floors in South Africa, and until now only aluminium
floors were available, these floors do have their place in the non-abrasive bulk product
market. Bulk abrasive product like sand, gravel, rock, scrap steel, chrome lime even
hot asphalt etc. remained destined for the tipper truck industry.

This is not the case with the Keith V-Floor, here are some pictures of a Keith V-Floor
offloading lime at a cement plant in Durban, July 2011. The trailer is 13,5 metre’s long
with 1,5 metre high sides. The truck’s wet kit is fitted with an 80 litre per minute pump,
only achievable if the truck is running at 1000RPM. In this case the truck was running
slightly lower RPM’s and this combined with the small capacity of the pump resulted in
a 12 minute offloading time.

The correct wet kit requirement for the Keith Moving Floor is a 100 to 160 litre per
minute pump running at 1000RPM. The same trailer fitted with the correct wet kit will
reduce the offloading time, +/- 5 minutes would be regarded as acceptable.
