Page 3: Introduction
One person with welding skills can complete the entire installation. An efficient installation requires appropriate tools and accessible materials. A list of tools is found in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 lists materials. The KEITH ® KICD Series owner’s manual contains more detailed information about the system and operation procedures.
Page 4: Container Preparations
Chapter 2 CONTAINER PREPARATIONS The container requires preparation before the system is installed. Planning ahead for the ® installation requirements saves significant preparation time, WALKING FLOOR 2.1 Container alignment Check the compatibility of the drive unit with the container before making any alterations to the container. 1.
Page 5: Hydraulic Tubing Locations
2.3 Hydraulic tubing locations Hydraulic pressure, generated by the tractor’s wet kit, powers the drive unit. Tubing must connect the drive unit to the tractor. The location of the hydraulic tubing cut holes are shown so that the tubing will line up with the drive plumbing.
Page 6: Shimming
Remove cross-members to create an adequate opening for the drive unit (Figure 4). See Chapter 4 for more information about drive unit location. Opening between channel at rear of tunnel to cross member. Side view in container (Figure 4) Figure 4 1980mm [78"] Minumum opening Tunnel...

Starting 65mm [2-1/2”] from unload end of threshold, leaving clearance for the door, use 3mm [1/8”] thick material to achieve the 150mm [5-7/8”] from the bottom of cross- members to top of the baffle plate. Come forward 315mm [12-3/8”] then down 100mm [4”] and weld 100%. Grind welds flat. See page 5, section C-C.
Page 9: Sub-Deck
Chapter 3 SUB-DECK The sub-deck is the structure directly above the cross-members and underneath the floor slats. The sub-deck consists of square steel tubing or U-shaped aluminum profiles. The square tubing mounts on top of the cross-members. Plastic floor bearings connect to the tubing. 3.1 Square Tubing The proper installation of the square tubing is critical for maintaining drive alignment, floor straightness and for optimal performance of the seal located between the floor slats. Raise the drive unit into position. Do not weld at this time. The drive unit is in place for locating the end of 25mm x 25mm tubing.

Page 11 Lay out the remaining tubes across the width of the container, spacing them with jigs. Keeping the jigs above the cross-members, clamp the jig and tubes to every other cross- member. Be sure all tubes attain the minimum overhang of 50mm. Remember to plan for the formed cross sill attached to the drive unit.
Page 12: Drive Unit
Chapter 4 DRIVE UNIT NOTE: A minimum drive opening of 1980mm [78”] is necessary to maneuver the drive unit. (See Page 4, Figure 4) IMPORTANT: Do not damage piston rods. Do not lift drive unit by any of the hydraulic components.
Page 13: Side Seal Support
Height Raise drive frame cross-member to the same height of shimmed cross-member. This method gives the proper drive height as bearings are 6mm above the 25mm x 25mm [1” x 1”] tube and the drive shoes connect directly to the floor slats. See Detail F. Weld the drive unit in place. Use 25mm x 25mm [1” x 1”] jig to weld 25mm x 25mm [1” x 1”] tubing to drive unit formed channels.
Page 14: Painting
4.2 Painting The factory paints drive units with red oxide primer. 1. Confirm that the drive unit is coated well with primer. 2. Treat the drive unit and sub-deck with a finishing paint. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the following parts are protected when painting: cylinder chrome rods, switching valve chrome rod, serial plate and any decals. 4.3 T-block Plastic T-blocks provide a sliding surface and prevent material from going underneath the end of the slats at the discharge end of the flooring. (Figure 13) 1.
Page 15: Hydraulic Tubing
4.4 Hydraulic tubing Section 2.3 discusses the location of hydraulic tubing. IMPORTANT: All components and tubing must be kept absolutely clean to prevent dirt from entering the system. 1. Determine tube locations and lengths. 2. Cut tubes to length. 3. Position tubes. Use the weld on tube clamps supplied with the kit or use rubber grommets or PVC tubes to protect the tubing when installing tubes through cross-members 4.
Page 16: Flooring
5 FLOORING After paint dries, the flooring can be installed. The slats slide on plastic bearings. The aluminum floor slats are bolted to shoes on the cross drives. 5.1 Slide bearings 1. Compare bearing dimensions with shim on the cross-member flange width. The gap in the bearing should exceed the flange width of the shim of the cross-member. The standard bearing gap is 62mm [2 7/16”]. Milling can enlarge the gap to 100mm [4”]. 2. Snap 6 bearings (3003 Long) 100mm [4”] opening on the sub-deck over the load end of cylinders.
Page 17 Figure 15 Install one row of 3003 Bearings, cut off ears on bottom to fit. Drive Unit Install one row of 915mm [3'] Splash Bearings. Cut 12 - 1830mm [6'] in half to make 24 - 915mm [3'] Splash Bearings. DETAIL I Install one row of 3003 Bearings, cut off ears on bottom to fit.
Page 18: Floor Slats
5.2 Floor slats 1. Determine length of floor slats. The slats have to reach from 50mm [2”] from the doors to a minimum of 300mm [12”] from the closest point on the front wall at floor level. This implies that the maximum length of the slats is 350mm [13 3/4”] shorter than the inner length of the container. For example, maximum slat length for a 150mm [6”] stroke unit in a 12.04M [39’...

Page 22: Side Seal
3. Placement of floor slat drill jig. Check that you have the right flooring drill jig before continuing. Place flooring drill jig on top of the floor slat with the location dowel pins tight against the side opposite the seal. Center the rear hole over the mark from the end of slat to first hole in drive shoe measurement and clamp the jig. Drill 12mm holes through the flooring. (Figures 17, 18 & 19) 4. Counter sink holes in aluminum slats only. Do not countersink holes in UHMW floor slats. Using a 90° countersink to a depth so the floor bolts are flush with top of floor slat. It is critical to get a good countersink depth for a tight fit. If possible, it is suggested to use a preset drill press for uniform hole depth. (Figure 20) 5. Install floor slats. Slide floor slats over T-Blocks and onto bearings into position and insert bolt into drive shoe bolt bar to hold floor slat in position while installing the next slat. 6. Bolt and torque flooring to drive shoes.

Page 24: Front Shield
The width is a minimum of 6mm [1/4”] narrower than the inner container width. The front shield is angled about 45 degrees. When the floor slats are in the rear position, the slide strip must still lie fully on top of the floor slats. 2. Fabricate front shield. (KEITH Manufacturing Co. supplies this in most cases.) Form the plate and attach angled steel for support. Rivet the plastic slide strip to the shield. 3. Mount front shield.

a. The top of the drive shoes must be 6mm higher than the top of the 25mm x 25mm tubing. b. The drive shoes must align with respective 25mm x 25mm tubes. 6. The cylinders must be entirely collapsed before measuring bolt holes for floor slats. 7. A front guard should deny access to the underside of the front end of the container so slats cannot shear anything entering from below.
