Slide Floor Trailers – Read Everything You Need to Know

A slide floor trailer is a versatile and practical solution for transporting goods that are difficult to unload. Slide floor trailers are often used in the construction industry, for agricultural products, and when transporting machines. Hesselink Trucks offers both used slide floor trailers and new slide floor trailers, including Kraker Trailers. Discover everything about slide floor trailers, from costs to brands and applications.

What is a Slide Floor Trailer?

A slide floor trailer is a type of trailer equipped with a unique sliding floor system, allowing loads to be easily pushed off the trailer. This is achieved by shifting the floor of the trailer, enabling the load to be unloaded directly without the need for cranes or other equipment. This system is especially useful for transporting heavy and hard-to-unload goods such as building materials, machines, and agricultural products.

How Does a Slide Floor Trailer Work?

The operation of a slide floor trailer is simple: the trailer is equipped with a special sliding system that moves the floor of the trailer. Once the load is loaded onto the trailer, the floor is moved by a hydraulic or pneumatic system. This causes the load to slide to the back, where it can be easily unloaded. This makes slide floor trailers ideal for bulk goods transport, where unloading has to be done without additional equipment.

What Are Slide Floor Trailers Used For?

Slide floor trailers are widely used in various industries such as construction, agriculture, and heavy machinery transport. They are perfect for transporting goods that are difficult to unload. Typical applications include:

• Building materials: such as sand, gravel, and other heavy materials used in construction.
• Agricultural products: such as grains, fertilizers, or other agricultural goods.
• Machines: for transporting machines that cannot be unloaded manually.
• Container transport: slide floor trailers can also be used to transport containers that can be quickly unloaded using the sliding floor system.

Which Brands of Slide Floor Trailers Are Recognized?

There are several recognized brands that manufacture slide floor trailers. One of the most popular brands is Kraker Trailers, known for their robust and reliable slide floor trailers. Hesselink Trucks is an official dealer of Kraker Trailers, which means we can offer both new Kraker slide floor trailers and can request custom models on demand.

What Do Slide Floor Trailers Cost?

The cost of a slide floor trailer varies depending on the brand, model, age, and condition of the trailer. A new slide floor trailer from Kraker Trailers typically costs between €45,000 and €75,000, depending on the specifications and options. Used models are often significantly cheaper, ranging from €15,000 to €40,000, depending on the condition and year of manufacture of the trailer.
