- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, Safe Working Loads (SWL) commonly range from 150 kg to 500 kg, depending on the specific design and manufacturer.
- Power supply
- Units typically operate on 3-phase electrical power, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size.
- Tipping height
- Common tipping heights for column dumpers are between 1.8 metres and 3 metres, designed to suit various receiving hoppers or conveyors.
- Material construction
- Most food-grade column dumpers are constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Footprint
- The footprint can vary significantly, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus operational clearance.
- Container compatibility
- Units are typically designed to lift standard Eurobins (200L or 300L) or custom-sized containers, often requiring specific cradle attachments.
- Safety features
- Common safety features include emergency stop buttons, interlocked guarding, and overload protection.
