Overview of GLT Walking Floor. Side control view of the Live bottom trailer

Lead B-Double units are a rollback style. The body rolls to the rear position on the chassis via two hydraulic cylinders before discharging. Tag walking floor trailers can be either straight or wedge style. Select from a range of industry leading floor manufacturers which include Keith, Matilda and Cargo Floor.

Rear view of the Walking Floor Trailer / Moving Floor Trailer

Each walking floor or moving floor has a full stainless steel rear bar and rear post assembly. All nuts, bolts and washers are stainless steel.

Glt Top Coaming image showing high quality craftsmanship
Top coamings are also an exclusive aluminium extrusion. These specialised extrusions increase the tub body strength while maintaining exceptional tare weight. All top coamings are either huck riveted or bolted with stainless steel bolts. This method of construction allows the coaming to flex and reduces the risk of cracking.
Tough Steel Chassis
All our chassis are fabricated from 700-grade mechanical steel with quenched and tempered skid plates. Minor amounts of 350 and 250 grade steel are used for small profile gussets.

Each walking floor/live bottom trailer chassis is Hi-definition plasma cut cut. Our steel fabrication team are highly skilled qualified tradesmen. Miller digital pulse welders are used to lay a clean weld.

All edges on flanges are sanded and polished to reduce the chances of cracking and also to help paint adhere to the steel.

Wanting further weight savings on your walking floor? Then select our aluminium beams, cross members and suspension hanger option. This will reduce trailer tare weight by around 600kg.

GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson Intraax airbag suspension and axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can be optioned. Subtle design changes are made to the chassis to accommodate these different suspension brands ride characteristics.

Aussie Roads
GLT trailers are designed to handle the harsh Australian conditions. The correct suspension and axle selection is one of the most important factors in the trailers’ ability to survive our unique roads.
