CFS - Mobile Tote Bin Hoist

• Transferring ingredients from tote bins into mixers or processing vessels.
• Loading raw materials into hoppers or conveyors at an ergonomic height.
• Elevating product for packaging lines or further processing stages.
• Moving waste or by-products from floor level into skips or disposal units.

Typical capacity

Designed for standard 200 or 300 litre tote bins (eurobins), typically handling loads up to 300 kg.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz), though single-phase options may exist for lighter duty units.

Lift height

Typically offers discharge heights ranging from 1,500 mm to 2,500 mm, depending on the model and application.

Construction material

For this class of equipment, stainless steel construction is standard for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Mobility

Mounted on heavy-duty castors, often with brakes, allowing for flexible positioning within a facility.

Safety features

Units commonly include bin retention mechanisms, emergency stop buttons, and safety interlocks.

• What type of tote bins are compatible with this hoist?

  This type of hoist is typically designed for standard European-style tote bins (eurobins) of 200 or 300-litre capacity. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific bin dimensions.

• Is this hoist suitable for washdown environments?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

• Can the discharge height be adjusted?

• What safety certifications should I look for?

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.
