CARGO FLOOR’S “MAGIC” WORKING PRINCIPLE
The Cargo Floor 'moving floor' System is a multi-functional, horizontal loading and unloading system for the fast and efficient transport of almost
any product. The system is ideal for unloading a wide variety of bulk products, which typically are loaded from above and unloaded horizontally
from the rear by the Cargo Floor 'moving floor' System. It can also be used to load and unload packed materials.
Floor structure
The Cargo Floor 'moving floor' System is composed of floor profiles installed lengthwise, parallel to each other. The Cargo Floor drive system moves
the floor profiles back and forth within the power stroke of the three hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders are driven by mechanical or hydraulic systems
(no electronics). The floor profiles are made primarily from aluminium, but they can also be supplied in steel or another material.
The density between the floor profiles is ensured by a high-quality plastic sealing profile; Semi Leak Proof floors and even 100% Leak Proof solutions
are available.
The Cargo Floor moving floor principle:
Step 1: three hydraulic cylinders move the
entire floor as a whole in the selected direc-
tion, thereby transporting the cargo
Step 2: one hydraulic cylinder pushes one
group of floor profiles (= 1/3 floor section)
back underneath the cargo, while 2/3 of the
floor section remains still, the cargo will hard-
ly move as a result
Step 3: one hydraulic cylinder pushes one
group of floor profiles (= 1/3 floor section)
underneath the cargo, while 2/3 of the floor
section remains still, the cargo will hardly
move as a result
Step 4: one hydraulic cylinder pushes the
third and last group of floor profiles (= 1/3
floor section) underneath the cargo, while
2/3 of the floor section remains still, the
cargo will hardly move as a result
Step 1 is repeated again. The frequency
and thus the speed at which these steps
are repeated depend on the output of the
hydraulic pump. The available power at
which the cargo can be moved depends
on the available pressure of the hydraulic
pump. The Cargo Floor 'moving floor' Sy-
stem is designed for a maximum payload of 40 tonnes.
The principle works in two directions, in other words the Cargo Floor
'moving floor' System can be used to LOAD and UNLOAD.
