live bottom

Live bottom trucks (walking floor trailers) use a moving conveyor floor instead of tilting the bed to unload material, allowing them to discharge loads gradually and evenly while staying level and stationary. This makes them ideal for precise, controlled material placement like spreading asphalt, aggregate, or base material along a roadway or grading area without the safety risks and space requirements of a truck raising its bed to dump. Because they don't need to tilt, live bottom trucks can unload in low clearance areas and maintain better stability on uneven or sloped ground. Their controlled, metered discharge also reduces material waste and gives crews more consistent, even coverage than a traditional dump. Including live bottom trucks in your project scope means safer, more precise material delivery which is especially valuable for paving and grading work where even placement matters.
