KEITH Manufacturing Co., a global leader in material handling innovation, is showcasing the CleenSweep System – an automated solution designed to improve trailer cleanout, safety and turnaround time for bulk handling operations.
The CleenSweep system automates the entire cleanout process, replacing manual tarps, leaf blowers and brooms. By keeping operators out of the trailer, it significantly reduces the risk of falls, sprains and other workplace injuries that typically occur during manual cleanout. The system helps crews stay productive while maintaining a safer working environment.
Powered by the same hydraulic system that drives the KEITH WALKING FLOOR system, the CleenSweep winch is engineered to adapt to a wide range of trailer configurations. During unloading, the tarp travels smoothly along the inside of the trailer, sweeping residual material toward the discharge point for consistent, thorough cleanout. Once the load is discharged, operators simply retract and reset the tarp at the push of a button, saving time and supporting faster route cycles.

By eliminating the need for drivers to install manual tarps or enter the trailer during cleanout, the system lowers exposure to potential accidents – including the risk of accidental burial if loading begins while someone is inside the trailer. These safety advantages can also contribute to reduced workers’ compensation exposure and insurance costs.
For WALKING FLOOR trailers used on tipping platforms, an optional lock kit secures the tarp inside the trailer during tipping. A spring-brake design simplifies ongoing adjustments, helping maintain proper tension and long-term dependability.
With its fully automated, push-button operation, the CleenSweep system provides reliable, repeatable cleanout with every unload – helping operators protect their workforce while improving overall efficiency.
