The register lists 66 versions with kerb weights from 640 to 10,580 kg, gross weights from 1,300 to 54,000 kg, widths from 1,700 to 2,600 mm and lengths from 9,190 to 14,100 mm.

Walking-floor trailers unload without tipping, pushing the load rearwards with moving floor slats, which makes them suitable for sensitive bulk material, silage or recycling material; in this niche segment Knapen, alongside makers such as Fruehauf and Groenewegen, ranks among the better-known European suppliers, whose vehicles are used mainly in the waste and recycling trade and for transporting bulk agricultural produce such as silage or compost.

When buying used walking-floor trailers, check above all the condition and smooth running of the floor chain and its drive motor, wear on the floor slats and side walls, the tightness of the hydraulics, the state of axles and brakes, and corrosion on the frame and chassis; spares for the walking floor are usually only available directly from the manufacturer, so it is worth asking about parts availability before agreeing a price.

What to check before buying

  • Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
  • Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
  • Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
  • Compare the chassis number with the papers.
  • Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
