Typical capacity

Designed for standard 120-litre wheelie bins, commonly with a Safe Working Load (SWL) for this class of equipment ranging from 150kg to 300kg.

Construction material

Units for food processing are typically constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, with fully welded construction for hygiene and durability.

Tipping height

Commonly designed to tip at heights suitable for loading bays or into skips, often around 500mm to 1500mm, depending on the specific application.

Power supply

Typically powered by a self-contained hydraulic powerpack, requiring a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz.

Control system

Units of this type commonly feature an IP65 rated control panel with 'hold to run' pushbuttons for operator safety and control.

Mounting

Often designed for floor mounting, requiring secure bolting to a suitable concrete base for stability during operation.

• What safety features are typically included?

  Units commonly include 'hold to run' controls, emergency stop buttons, and hydraulic safety check valves to prevent uncontrolled descent in case of hose failure. Guards may also be present depending on the specific design and risk assessment.

• Is this type of equipment suitable for washdown environments?

• Can this tipper handle different bin sizes?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• What maintenance is typically required for a hydraulic tipper?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
