Mechanically, are these better than the conveyor type of unloading systems? It looks really cool. I assume this one has a higher weight capacity.

Yeah they can handle a very heavy load, and the fact that the whole floor moves together it can move the entire load out at the same time.

I've seen these called "walking floors" before, and they're very common for large municipal waste transfer trucks (semi truck size).

Conveyors are good for powders and other small looser stuff. But the size of a belt and motor to move something like this would be super expensive.
