KEITH Manufacturing Company has announced the launch of RX3 Technology, a new flagship heavy‑duty Walking Floor drive engineered for the rigorous demands of waste and recycling applications.
Designed as the long‑term replacement for the Running Floor II DX, RX3 builds on KEITH’s proven reliability while delivering a new level of performance, protection and control for high‑cycle, severe‑duty operations.
RX3 is purpose‑built for waste handling and other abrasive, heavy bulk materials in demanding transfer station and fleet environments.
It incorporates comprehensive thermal protection, integrating an over‑temperature switch and electric heat sensor designed to safeguard the drive during the toughest unloading cycles.
By monitoring system temperature and reacting before damage can occur, RX3 helps prevent heat‑related failures and protects critical hydraulic and mechanical components – reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.
Additionally, the RX3 hydraulic circuit is designed to run cleaner, featuring an oil pressure filter which promotes cleaner oil and monitored inlet conditions.
This contributes to smoother performance, longer component life and a reduced maintenance burden over the life of the trailer.
“RX3 is the new benchmark for heavy‑duty moving floor drives, with every aspect of the system proven through extensive in‑house testing and real‑world field validation to meet the toughest performance and reliability standards,” KEITH Manufacturing Company said.
“As a patent‑pending design, RX3 encapsulates KEITH’s best‑in‑class Walking Floor engineering while signalling a new generation of drive technology for waste and severe‑duty bulk materials.”
RX3 also reduces complexity with internal check valves and fewer parts, eliminating adjustments at the switching valve and minimising potential leak points.
Its simplified layout makes field troubleshooting easier, speeds service and helps lower total maintenance costs for waste and recycling fleets.
Smarter controls are also a core part of RX3 Technology.
It pairs an automatic switching valve with intuitive electronic controls and optional manual control options to enable more automated, hands‑off operation, reduce operator error and simplify training for new drivers and technicians.
The hydraulic design also gives operators flexibility to unload at extremely slow or extremely fast speeds – depending on job requirements – providing precise control in tight facilities and rapid discharge when throughput is the priority.
