Frequently asked questions
What is a moving floor?
A moving floor is a semi-trailer fitted with a moving belt mechanism (hence the name), which discharges the bulk wood little by little from the rear.
Who is the carrier?
For moving floor deliveries, we work mainly with Transports Capitaine & Cie. We also have other partner carriers, depending on the delivery area.
How long does it take?

However, we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
We can only inform you of the driver's estimated time of arrival the day before delivery.
Is the wood riddled?
Basically, in a moving floor load, there are chips and scraps. The wood is not sorted, unlike the crates.
This is «free» wood, which does not count towards the volume, as it is inserted between the logs. You can use or sell this kindling as kindling.
We can screen the wood for an additional €300 per moving floor. Very few of our customers choose this option.
Alternatively, for sorted wood, you can buy wood in crates (iron box or pallet).
How many steres are there?
A moving floor contains 90m³ bulk, which corresponds to approximately 70 steres in 50cm, 75 steres in 40cm and 80 steres in 30cm.
What size of log?
We produce what you want. The choice is yours.
1m, 50cm, 45cm, 40cm, 35cm, 33cm, 30cm, 28cm, 25cm...
Note: logs may vary by +/- 3 to 5 cm. For example 30-33cm, 40-45cm...
How big is the truck?
A moving floor semi-trailer is the same size as a conventional semi-trailer.
Here are the typical external dimensions:
- Total length: 16.50m
- Height: 4m
- Width: 2.55m
How damp is the wood?
Our wood is about 2 years old.
In moving floors, the wood is sold «semi-dry». Sometimes it is dry, but the humidity is not controlled. It is around 20 to 30%. We recommend storing the wood for at least 2 to 3 months before use.
If you want guaranteed dry wood, you can buy wood in iron box. We can also tip wood from iron boxes into the moving floor (at an additional cost).
Which species?
Our standard products contain minimum 95% of hardwoods: oak, hornbeam, ash, beech. These are the best types of firewood.
If you need’specific species, we can adapt. This generally involves an additional cost. We can produce all types of wood, hard or soft, according to your preferences.
How is wood produced?
Moving floor orders are generally produced on demand. This means that the wood is split 2 to 3 days before loading. Our production is carried out on a clean slab under a covered building.
