- Typical capacity
- Units of this type commonly handle trolleys with capacities ranging from 100 kg to 500 kg, depending on design.
- Power supply
- Typically electric, requiring a 3-phase supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for hydraulic or electromechanical operation. Some smaller units may be single-phase.
- Tipping height
- The maximum discharge height is variable, commonly between 1.5 metres and 3 metres, designed to suit receiving hoppers or conveyors.
- Construction material
- For hygiene-sensitive applications, units are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade). General industrial units may use painted mild steel.
- Footprint
- The base footprint for a trolley tipper typically ranges from 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.5m, plus operational clearance.
- Safety features
- Commonly includes safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation if guards are open or trolleys are improperly secured.
