Keith Manufacturing Co.

KEITH Manufacturing Co. is a global leader in material handling solutions, recognized for engineering innovative systems that streamline the movement and unloading of bulk materials. 

KEITH revolutionized the industry in 1973 with the introduction of the first commercial moving floor system, enabling safe, efficient, and non-tipping unloading for a wide array of bulk products. KEITH WALKING FLOOR mobile systems remain the cornerstone of the company's product line, setting the global standard for versatility across agriculture, recycling and waste management, biomass and renewable energy, construction, and industrial markets.

The evolution of the KEITH WALKING FLOOR unloader began more than 60 years ago, when Keith Foster created specialized agricultural equipment. In the 1970s, the WALKING FLOOR brand was introduced. Interest in the self-unloading system gained momentum in the 1980s when a WALKING FLOOR unloader was installed in a semi-trailer hauling municipal solid waste. The WALKING FLOOR system quickly became a staple in the waste and recycling industries, with its popularity growing worldwide.

When Keith Foster set out to build the first WALKING FLOOR system, his resources consisted of a handful of employees. Today, KEITH Mfg. Co. encompasses international locations, a global network of dealers, and more than 250 worldwide patents.

KEITH is a progressive, family-owned company that takes pride in providing bulk material conveying systems that solve customers' problems. WALKING FLOOR technology is used to move, store, and meter difficult-to-handle bulk material,s including agricultural, wood, ice, waste, paper, asphalt, and aggregate products. KEITH is headquartered in Central Oregon's high desert community.
