V-Floor asphalt trailer earns high marks for large paving jobs
"One reason our V-Floor trailer has caught on so well is its incredible versatility. It's what you need for abrasive bulk materials and heavy demolition or scrap loads. But then you can load it with anything you might put in a dry van or flatbed or hopper trailer, from aggregate to paletted products," he explains. "Paving companies in the south can run these units as asphalt haulers and earn more with them all year. But our customers in colder climates can now look at different contracts too, to keep their trailers running when not paving in the off-season.
"It's all about finding more ways to help our customers operate their businesses more profitably," Kloepfer concludes.
