Base Handling Ltd - Bin Hoist

• Used for controlled emptying of standard bins into processing machinery or conveyors.
• Commonly found in food processing lines for transferring ingredients or waste.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical manufacturing for hygienic material handling.
• Applied in chemical industries for safe and efficient powder or granule transfer.
• Employed in waste management facilities for tipping refuse or recyclables.

Typical capacity

Bin hoists of this class typically handle standard 200L or 300L Eurobins, with a lifting capacity commonly ranging from 150kg to 300kg.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Lift height

The discharge height for bin hoists is typically between 1800mm and 2500mm, depending on the specific model and application.

Construction material

For hygiene-sensitive applications, these hoists are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade).

Footprint

The footprint for a bin hoist is typically compact, often around 1500mm (L) x 1000mm (W), though this varies by design.

Tipping angle

A typical tipping angle for efficient discharge is around 135 to 150 degrees.

• What type of bins can this hoist accommodate?

  Bin hoists are typically designed to accommodate standard Eurobins (DIN 9797), though some models may be adaptable for other bin types. Buyers should verify compatibility with their specific bins.

• What safety features are commonly included?

• Is installation complex for a bin hoist?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used bin hoist?

• Can this equipment be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
