Knapen moving floor trailers are the ideal waste transport solution. Our moving floor trailers are characterised by their strong construction, low own weight, high volume capacity and short unloading times.

This is a reputation we are rightfully proud of. We are happy to share our knowledge and experience with you to be able to always offer the most suitable moving floor trailer.

History
Using moving floor trailers in the waste sector dates back to before the year 2000. Their advantage over traditional container trucks was considerable: a higher volume and a lower own weight. This allowed a larger load to be carried with each trip, significantly increasing efficiency and revenue. Another key advantage was the shorter unloading time of a moving floor trailer compared with a container truck since it required fewer actions.

These benefits made moving floor trailers a massive success in the waste sector. Knapen Trailers was the first moving floor producer to enter this market, initially in Western European countries. An expansion to the East of the EU soon followed. The first moving floor trailers used in the waste market were still fairly generic due to the limited range of specific waste options. Knapen Trailers immediately analysed the needs of this market segment and developed unique waste trailers and many country-specific and other specific waste options. Knapen Trailers won its first Innovation Award for its waste trailer in 2003.This was followed by many more innovative solutions.

Proven technology
As a result, very many Knapen moving floor trailers are applied in the waste sector in Europe. Knapen Trailers has engineered all possible dimensions and specifications, and our customers benefit from this expertise! We know what works well in your market, and time and experience has also taught us what does not work well.
