ABSTRACT:
The reciprocating floor conveyor (11) includes a plurality of elongated floor slats (52) that are slidable supported on bearings (50) and constitute a substantial portion of the floor 46 of a cargo container (10). Drive bars (60, 62 and 64) are reciprocated back and forth by a drive and control system to move cargo supported by the floor slats (52). Wedges (68) are attached to the upper surfaces of the floor slats (52) where required to improve conveying. Each wedge (68) has a generally vertical pushing surface (70) with a height and width. The width of a wedge (68) is about 30% of the width of a floor slat (52). An upwardly facing inclined surface (72) of the wedge (68) has a length that is about four times the height of the pushing surface (70). The wedges (68) can be removed or neutralizing wedges (82) can be added to block action of the wedges.
