These include 70m³, 60m³ or even 55m³. These latter two models are generally used in the agricultural sector. A selection of important reasons why a smaller Knapen moving floor trailer could be an interesting option for you is listed below: Safety A Knapen moving floor trailer is the safe alternative to a tipper. As it unloads horizontally, there is no risk of tipping. The unloading speed is often mentioned as a motivation to choose a tipper. But precisely because the risk of tipping is eliminated, a moving floor trailer can unload in all conditions - including on uneven surfaces or with high winds. And that is exactly what saves time! A second advantage is the possibility to switch the floor on and off so that unloading can start and stop at any time. This feature is impossible with a tipper. This enables metered unloading of your load with a Knapen moving floor trailer, which, for example, offers great advantages when unloading over a drop. Optimum road holding, higher volume Thanks to its self-supporting construction, a Knapen moving floor trailer has a lower centre of gravity than a tipper. This gives the trailer an outstanding road holding capability and greater stability. The weight difference is also negligible due to this optimised self-supporting structure. Compared with a vehicle of the same length, the Knapen moving floor trailer has a higher volume so it can transport more cargo. If this volume is not a key factor, you can also choose an even shorter Knapen moving floor trailer, which in turn improves manoeuvrability. Lowest Cost of Ownership You can use a shorter Knapen moving floor trailers for multiple applications. The square construction also allows the transport of pallets and big bags, while the moving floor enables metered loading and unloading easily and efficiently. In addition, partial loads can also be carried without any major modifications. And the ‘Lowest Cost of Ownership’ is a final important reason why ever-more customers choose a smaller moving floor trailer from Knapen Trailers. Due to the limited offer, the residual value of a Knapen moving floor trailer is generally higher than a tipper with an equivalent volume.
