waste transportation
This is part of a tender for supplying and building waste processing/transportation equipment. There appear to be various translations for 'fond mouvant' and I wondered what the best one was in the context of a 'benne' (skip)...
skips with moving/movable floors? skips with conveyors?
slat conveyors? moving aprons?
Le constructeur pourra proposer pour le stockage des refus de traitement la mise en place de ***bennes fixes à fond mouvant.*** La mise en œuvre de ce type d’équipement ne pourra se faire qu’avec des matériaux avec un taux d’humidité compatible avec la conception de ce type d’équipement, leur utilisation avec des produits créant des lixiviats ou percolats qui viendraient inévitablement à passer entre les lames du plancher est proscrite.

skips with moving floors
This FRENCH manufacturer calls it "moving floor" (for trucks) :

Looking at this site again, I wonder if "benne" is a "camion-benne" rather than a skip as I have suggested previously.
Here, though, it has to be a skip since it is "fixe": maybe it just means the waste is "walked out" of the skip (onto what?) when the end doors are opened rather than having to be raked or tipped out.
How "fixe" is "fixe"? Are these things never moved, or are that sat in a given location until full, then removed to the waste centre and emptied?
Having a "moving floor" for a truck that discharges through a door at the rear – as opposed to a skip that can be lifted and up-ended – would make sense.

Check out the "shallow pit moving floor" at this site:

Haven't read it in detail, but it appears to be an emplacement where people dump their waste, as in a French "centre de tri", only instead of having replacable skips the "pit" removes the waste to a remote location by means of its moving floor. This means there is no machinery at the locations where people like you and me are dumping their rubbish, so less danger.

Once again I find justification in time spent on Kudoz answering questions I did not hitherto know the answer to: a month on from this question, work of my own has "bennes à fond mouvant" delivering waste to a recycling plant!

Looking at the question again, maybe the "bennes" are indeed truck bodies, being "fixes" in that they are not tippable - and don't need to be since the moving floor will "walk" the contents out.
