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 materials including agricultural, wood, ice, waste, paper, asphalt and aggregate products. We are fortunate to be headquartered in Central Oregons high desert community; an outdoor mecca and one of the most idyllic settings on the West Coast. Our company culture attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds, making up the fun, loyal KEITH family.
