The present invention relates to a reciprocating floor conveyor (10) which includes a plurality of elongate floor members (14) defining a floor surface (16) and being grouped in at least two sets (14.1,14.2,14.3); at least two transverse drive beams (18), each being fast with an associated set (14.1,14.2,14.3) of the floor members (14); and drive means drivingly connected to the transverse drive beams, the drive means including at least one linear hydraulic motor (12) drivingly connected to at least one of the transverse drive beams (18). The motor (12) comprises an elongate cylinder (26) and at least one piston (34) located slidingly inside the cylinder (26). In use force is transferred from the piston (34) transversely outwardly through the cylinder (26) to the transverse drive beam (18) driven by said linear hydraulic motor (12), at least one of the transverse drive beams (18) being supported slidingly on the cylinder (26). |
