Stanley Roads have opted for a fleet of non-tipping vehicles fitted with walking floor trailers due to their quality, safety and productivity benefits.
See the video below for how the latest innovative design by the Stanley Roads team achieves an increased focus on safety while delivering superior performance.
Quality
Walking-floor trailers differ from traditional articulated tipper trucks by using an in-built moving floor to ‘walk’ the product out of the trailer to discharge their loads.
- R rating of 7.2 per inch achieved by Thermax insulation on the side wall of the trailer covered in smooth aluminium.
- Reduced particle segregation leading to a more homogenous mix being placed and reduced risk of accelerated pavement distress.
- Allows better temperature control of the hot mix asphalt improving compaction.
Safety
- Increased stability and ability to operate without tipping, providing a number of health and safety benefits for their operators and those working on site.
- Able to discharge materials in locations that would otherwise pose a risk, including underneath overhead power lines or in tunnels allows work to be completed more flexibly and efficiently.
Productivity
Less truck movements required to unload allowing for greater productivity and improved logistics. Walking-floor trailers can operate in tight areas and allow continuous laying, which increases site productivity.
