Maximum flexibility during transport
With sliding floor vehicles, Europe’s largest niche manufacturer of commercial vehicles relies on maximum flexibility when it comes to the possible uses – be it palletised goods, bulk goods, rolls or long material. This applies to the standard version as well as to vehicles that are manufactured according to specific customer requirements. Schwarzmüller offers two variants. A sliding floor vehicle made entirely of aluminium – from the chassis, and the side and cross members to the body. With a dead weight of seven tons, it is one of the lightest vehicles on the market. The second variant is configured with doors on the left side, which is why it is designed with a chassis made of high-strength steel. The advantages of this option are particularly evident in the time saved when loading and unloading pallets.
Depending on customer requirements, the design and configuration of the sliding floor can be individually adjusted. The sliding floor semi-trailer from Schwarzmüller makes it possible for bulk goods to be completely emptied using movable floor profiles with standard 21 aluminium boards. An optional variant with 15 floor boards saves an additional 70 kilograms in weight, but is only suitable for bulk material. The optional protective floor tarpaulin, which is stored on a roll in the frame at the rear, prevents the floor profiles from becoming contaminated and encourages a long service life. Sophisticated solutions for storing aids and tools, as well as an optional elevating roof combined with the side doors, make the loading and unloading process even easier and save valuable operating time, especially when handling pallets.
