Cargo Floor

What Cargo Floor does

Cargo Floor B.V. is a Dutch privately held industrial manufacturer founded in 1992 and headquartered in Coevorden, Netherlands, specializing in hydraulic-powered horizontal loading and unloading systems branded as "moving floor" (schuifvloer) technology. Unlike conventional tipping or hoist unloading, Cargo Floor's moving floor transports bulk materials, pallets, and other cargo horizontally via a slat conveyor mechanism driven by proprietary hydraulic drive units, eliminating the need to tip trailers or bunkers. The product portfolio spans ten drive unit models (CF150 through CF800 HD), multiple aluminum and steel floor profile variants, leak-proof and leak-resist sealing systems, app-based and wireless remote controls, and the separate CargoMatic sub-brand for fully automated loading/unloading logistics solutions.

The company sells primarily to two end-markets: truck, trailer, and semi-trailer OEMs that integrate moving floor systems into their vehicles, and industrial customers (factories, storage facilities, waste management operations) that deploy the technology as stationary bunkers for continuous material handling. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of complete drive unit and floor profile systems, recurring aftermarket sales through an online parts webshop covering hydraulic, plastic, electrical, and fastener components, and technical service and warranty support delivered through a global partner network. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, with quote-based pricing on equipment and unit pricing on parts, supported by a 9-language website, social media presence, technical documentation downloads, and active participation in trade shows such as IFAT and MATS.

Cargo Floor self-describes as the world's leading manufacturer of horizontal loading/unloading systems and operates with a small headcount of 11–50 employees. The company shows no external investors, no funding rounds, and no public listing; ownership commentary hints at possible family ownership (J. Smits listed as privacy contact). Strategic activity in 2020–2026 has focused on product line extension (CargoMatic separation, low-friction seal launch in 2025) and geographic reinforcement through trade shows in North America and Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Schmitz Cargobull: Europe's largest trailer manufacturer producing semi-trailers, including moving floor and tipping variants. Comparable because it integrates (and competes with) horizontal unloading technology across its own trailer fleet, addressing the same OEM and fleet operator buyer.
• Fliegl: German manufacturer of agricultural and commercial trailers with bulk-handling and moving floor product lines. Comparable because it serves overlapping trailer OEM customers and bulk material handlers in agriculture and waste.
• KEESTRACK: Belgian manufacturer of mobile crushing, screening, and material handling equipment. Comparable because it competes for industrial bulk-handling capex budgets at quarries, recycling sites, and bunkers where Cargo Floor's moving floor systems are also specified.
• Wielton: Polish-listed commercial trailer and body manufacturer with pan-European distribution. Comparable because it sells trailers that integrate moving floor and bulk-handling specifications, sharing the trailer OEM specification channel with Cargo Floor.
• Schwarzmüller: Austrian premium trailer manufacturer specializing in tippers, walking-floor, and special-purpose trailers. Comparable because its walking-floor trailer product directly competes with Cargo Floor's moving floor system at the OEM specification stage.
• Kässbohrer Fahrzeugwerke: German/European trailer and body manufacturer with a deep special-vehicle portfolio including tippers and bulk carriers. Comparable because it competes for the same industrial bulk-transport OEM specification slot as Cargo Floor.
• Metso: Global industrial supplier of material handling and processing equipment for mining and aggregates. Comparable because it sells bulk material handling systems (conveyors, feeders, stackers) into the same stationary bulk-handling applications Cargo Floor addresses with bunker moving floors.
• Cargotec: Finnish industrial group operating Hiab, MacGregor, and Kalmar for load and cargo handling. Comparable because it covers overlapping material handling and cargo movement applications and could integrate vertical loading technologies.
• BEUMER Group: German family-owned manufacturer of intralogistics and conveying systems serving bulk, parcel, and airport markets. Comparable because it competes for in-plant and in-facility bulk material handling capex with conveying and pallet handling alternatives.
• Terex Corporation: US-listed diversified industrial equipment manufacturer (aerial work platforms, materials processing, environmental). Comparable because its environmental and materials processing business competes for the same recycling and bulk-handling capital budgets.
