In a walking floor conveyor, an arrangement of panels lined longitudinally in a side-by-side fashion are organized into at least two correlating groups of panels. At least two panels within each group. Each panel grouping is propelled and retracted in a reciprocating manner, each by a hydraulic cylinder. The panels comprising wheel receptacles underneath the panels and at least one wheel fitted within a wheel receptacle to allow for forward and backward movement along a wheel support beam. These reciprocating panels supported by a series of wheel support beams, interior support beams and side support beams. These side support beams are at their tallest in the back and shortest in the front to provide a slant allowing for a flow of cargo and liquid runoff captured within a plurality of panel drains located between the panels towards a frontally placed auger designed for the assistance of cargo discharge.

1. A reciprocating slat conveyor system, the system comprising: a plurality of parallel reciprocating slats, at least two groups of slats, of at least two slats per group, arranged in an alternating group manner having a top and bottom side;the top side of each of the plurality of slats having a horizontal top surface with a drain panel on at least one side;the bottom side of each of the plurality of slats having a wheel receptacle; wherein the wheel receptacle may comprise at least one wheel fitted within the wheel receptacle when resting on top of at least one set of support beams which are aligned perpendicular to the parallel slats;wherein, each of the at least two slats per group are connected underneath by a group panel connector and two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group are connected by an arm link which connects to a group specific hydraulic cylinder which controls the movement of the two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group;wherein the group specific hydraulic cylinder pushes and retracts an attached piston rod forward and backwards which results in corresponding wheel movement of the at least one wheel maintained above the at least one set of support beams to reciprocate one of the at least two groups of slats forward and backwards. 2. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the wheel receptacle comprises substantially the entire length of a single slat from the plurality of slats. 3. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of parallel reciprocating slats are arranged at a sloped angle downwards. 4. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the drain panel on at least one side extends substantially the entire length of at least one slat from the plurality of slats. 5. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the at least two groups of parallel reciprocating slats are affixed to a primary drain located at the front of each slat along the lower elevation. 6. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 5, wherein an auger may be positioned near the primary drain to assist in the movement of cargo towards a single dispensing outlet. 7. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the at least one set of wheel support beams are supported by at least two interior support beams which are arranged in parallel to the plurality of parallel reciprocating slats and on opposite sides of the wheel support beams. 8. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 1, wherein the at least two interior support beams are supported by symmetrical side support beams on opposite ends at equidistance intervals and may comprise of decreasing elevations from the back of the conveyor system to the front in order to permit the conveyor system to be sloped downward for disposal of cargo along the conveyor system. 9. A reciprocating slat conveyor system, the system comprising: a plurality of parallel reciprocating slats, at least two groups of slats, of at least two slats per group, arranged in an alternating group manner having a top and bottom side;the top side of each of the plurality of slats having a horizontal top surface;the bottom side of each of the plurality of slats having a plurality of wheel receptacles; wherein each of the plurality of wheel receptacles may comprise a wheel that rests on top of at a support beam aligned perpendicular to the parallel slats;wherein, each of the at least two slats per group are connected underneath by a group panel connector and two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group are connected by an arm link which connects to a group specific hydraulic cylinder which controls the movement of the two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group;wherein the group specific hydraulic cylinder pushes and retracts an attached piston rod forward and backwards which results in corresponding wheel movement of the at least one wheel maintained above the at least one set of support beams to reciprocate one of the at least two groups of slats forward and backwards. 10. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 9, wherein the plurality of parallel reciprocating slats are arranged at a sloped angle downwards. 11. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 9, wherein the at least two groups of parallel reciprocating slats are affixed to a primary drain located at the front of each slat along the lower elevation. 12. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 11, wherein an auger may be positioned near the primary drain to assist in the movement of cargo towards a single dispensing outlet. 13. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 9, wherein the at least one set of wheel support beams are supported by at least two interior support beams which are arranged in parallel to the parallel reciprocating slats and on opposite sides of the wheel support beams. 14. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 9, wherein the at least two interior support beams are supported by symmetrical side support beams on opposite ends at equidistance intervals and may comprise of decreasing elevations from the back of the conveyor system to the front in order to permit the conveyor system to be sloped downward for disposal of cargo along the conveyor system. 15. A reciprocating slat conveyor system, the system comprising: a plurality of reciprocating slats, at least three groups of slats, of at least three slats per group, arranged in an alternating group manner having a top and bottom side;the top side of each of the plurality of slats having a horizontal top surface with a drain panel on at least one side;the bottom side of each of the plurality of slats having a horizontal bottom surface and at least two perpendicular vertical panels affixed equidistance from the center on opposite sides to the horizontal bottom surface extending substantially the entire length of one of the plurality of slats; wherein the at least two perpendicular vertical panels affixed to the horizontal bottom surface of the plurality of slats may comprise at least one wheel fitted between the at least two perpendicular vertical panels that rests on top of at least one set of support beams aligned perpendicular to the parallel slats;wherein, each of the at least three slats per group are connected underneath by a group panel connector and two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group are connected by an arm link which connects to a group specific hydraulic cylinder which controls the movement of the two or more group panel connectors assigned to the same group;wherein the group specific hydraulic cylinder pushes and retracts an attached piston rod forward and backwards which results in corresponding wheel movement of the at least one wheel maintained above the at least one set of support beams to reciprocate one of the at least three groups of slats forward and backwards. 16. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 15, wherein the plurality of reciprocating slats are arranged at a sloped angle downwards towards a cargo disposal. 17. The reciprocating slat conveyor system of claim 15, wherein the plurality of parallel reciprocating slats are affixed to a primary drain located at the front of each slat along the lower elevation. 18.
