This Gervasi Ecologica is a tipping semi-trailer — also commonly referred to as a walking floor trailer — designed to carry and discharge bulk loads without the need for a conventional tipper mechanism. Rather than lifting the body, a moving floor system advances and retracts slats beneath the cargo to push material out from the rear, making the type well suited to waste, biomass, agricultural products, and other loose or difficult-to-tip loads. Gervasi Ecologica is a recognised Italian manufacturer specialising in walking floor and moving floor semi-trailers, building equipment primarily for the waste management, recycling, and bulk haulage sectors.
This trailer is offered as new stock and presents a substantial 90 m³ body capacity. The floor system is a Keith Walking Floor V-Floor unit with nine steel slats manufactured from Domex Wear, a high-strength wear-resistant steel chosen for its durability in demanding bulk handling applications.
The body structure is built in Hardox 450 steel throughout, with 4 mm plate used on the sides and doors and a heavier 6 mm thickness on the rear doors and front face — reflecting the higher stress concentrations at those points. The two-leaf rear doors operate via a cremone bolt system and are secured by a hydraulic safety locking mechanism, providing both straightforward manual operation and an additional layer of protection against accidental opening under load.
The moving floor is driven hydraulically via a winding drum winch system. The running gear comprises three SAF axles with disc brakes and air suspension, and the first axle is equipped with automatic lift functionality, allowing it to be raised when the trailer is lightly loaded to reduce tyre wear and rolling resistance.
