KEITH WALKING FLOOR Australia is showcasing its innovative horizontal unloading system at the Brisbane Truck Show, offering industry professionals an opportunity to explore the technology driving advancements in bulk material transport.
The centerpiece of KEITH’s exhibit is its signature KEITH WALKING FLOOR system, designed to address the challenges of unloading trailers in diverse and often challenging environments. This hydraulically driven system enables the fast and safe discharge of materials without the need for tipping, making it particularly beneficial for unloading in buildings or under utility lines. By eliminating traditional unloading methods that require tilting trailers, the system prioritises safety while improving operational efficiency.
The technology is widely adopted across industries such as agriculture, recycling, waste management, energy and aggregates. Its versatility allows it to handle a range of materials, from dense aggregates to lightweight bulk goods, ensuring reliable performance in various applications.
The KEITH hydraulic drive unit is designed for the lowest total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the equipment. Interchangeable components like the cylinders and check valves mean fewer parts are required for a fully stocked back-up inventory.
In addition, KEITH systems are designed to make servicing the equipment as simple as possible. Easily accessible components cut downtime when repairs are needed. Maintenance requirements are also minimal.

•J-MAX Steel Floor System: Known for its durability and adaptability, this flooring solution is engineered to manage abrasive materials like aggregates, sand, wood waste, glass, mineral concentrates and light demolition. Slats are designed for longer wear in an abrasive environment and provide versatility for backhauling a variety of materials.
•KEITH CleenSweep Systems: This automated tarp system is designed to clear trailer floors during unloading. By reducing manual intervention, it minimises cross-contamination between loads and enhances operator safety. The CleenSweep system automatically retracts and resets, with no need for the operator to enter the trailer.
These innovations underscore KEITH’s commitment to addressing industry needs for productivity and safety. The systems are designed not only to optimise unloading times but also to reduce fuel consumption and labor costs by enabling efficient operations in challenging conditions.
Compared to conventional semi-tippers, KEITH’s Walking Floor systems provide increased cubic capacity, allowing operators to maximize payloads per trip. This results in fewer truck movements and reduced operational costs.
Additionally, the horizontal unloading mechanism offers a safer alternative by eliminating risks associated with tipping trailers on uneven terrain or in adverse weather conditions.
The emphasis on compliance with safety standards further reinforces KEITH’s role as a leader in bulk material handling solutions. By integrating automated cleaning systems and non-tipping designs, the company helps operators maintain safer working environments while adhering to regulatory requirements.
For over six decades, KEITH has been at the forefront of material handling technology. Its WALKING FLOOR systems exemplify the company’s dedication to innovation, reliability, and customer-focused solutions.
KEITH aims to connect with industry stakeholders and showcase how its technologies are shaping the future of horizontal unloading practices in Australia.
