• Four of EM Wilcox's latest cavernous smooth-sided Walking Floor semi-trailers have gone into service with sawdust and woodchip haulier Alex Anderson of Bowness.
The 13.6m trailer bodies are built of 25mm-thick extruded aluminium planks to gain a maximum 2.45in internal width. A slight rearwards taper makes the 2.97m-high rear opening 0.33m deeper than the front of the body
The Walking Floor uses the usual hydraulically powered triple set of alloy planking for discharging loose loads and handling palletted goods.
Wilcox has also produced a 10.7m version of 39m3 (51.3yd3) capacity for Petersfield Compost to get under low-height hoppers.
