Selected
moving- floor truck
The floor consists of two (or more?) sets of parallel beams which are articulated. One set rises, lifting whatever is on top, and moves forward or backward, then lowers. The second set then rises and repeats the operation while the first set returns to its original position. Goods are thus "walked" out of the truck.

bottom-dump truck/lorry
"Fond" here seems to refer to the charging area in the truck, i.e. the "floor", which - I am fairly certain - makes sense with what I've found.

rolling floor
I've seen those multiple times but never bothered to ask what they were called. Rolling floor seems to be the obvious choice, and that is the name under which such systems are patented.
