BTM/300/1100/B/G Single Pillar Wheelie Bin Lifter

This Wheelie Bin Lifter is designed to lift and tip a 240 Litre wheelie bin at a discharge height of 1100mm.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

This Wheelie Bin Lifter was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet. The top section of the guard was fitted with 40 x 40mm aperture, 3mm wire stainless steel weld mesh for good visibility. The guard encloses the Wheelie Bin Lifter to a height of 2200mm on all sides, with a hinged guard door through which the bins are loaded. There is additional guarding at the tipping position into which the Waste Bin was loaded before tipping.

Both guard doors are electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Wheelie Bin Lifter from operating when a door is open. Additionally, the guard doors can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised.

Wheelie Bin Lifter Electrical Control

This Wheelie Bin Lifter is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the safety guard at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site.

The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility. The Wheelie Bin Lifter operation is latched so that pressing the ‘Up’ push button once will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, pressing the ‘Down’ push button once will return the lift carriage to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
