Introduction

The evolution of the KEITH® WALKING FLOOR® system began more than half a century ago, when Keith Foster first entered the material handling industry by creating specialized agricultural equipment. The WALKING FLOOR brand was introduced in the 1970s, with interest in the self-unloading system gaining momentum in the 1980s

Today, KEITH Mfg. Co. bears little resemblance to the early days. When Keith Foster built his first WALKING FLOORsystem, he had a handful of employees and few resources. The company now encompasses international locations and a global network of dealers. Both mobile and stationary units are used worldwide to move, meter and unload a variety of products.

Keith built his company around one goal -- to produce the most economical, efficient and safest self-unloading system available. Today, his family carries the tradition forward by introducing innovative products and creative solutions to our customers.

​How it works
The WALKING FLOOR® system is made of a series of floor slats, which are powered by a hydraulic drive, usually located underneath. As the floor moves through its first three phases, every third slat restages together. The friction of the load on the remaining two sets of slats keeps the load from moving. During the fourth and final phase, all slats move in unison, conveying the material.

KEITH WALKING FLOOR systems are constructed to the highest quality. Each precision component is designed to minimize the entry of contaminants.
Designed for dependability, KEITH WALKING FLOOR systems combine the finest components with quality craftsmanship.

KEITH offers solutions for a variety of material handling challenges with its trailer applications and stationary bin systems. Our custom engineered systems have moved loads from several tons to over 1,400 tons. It’s all possible with KEITH WALKING FLOOR conveying and unloading systems. We revolutionize the material handling process.
