What is a single pillar crate tipper?

A single pillar crate tipper is a machine designed to lift and invert crates or containers using a single vertical column. It is commonly used in food processing to transfer contents from crates into other equipment.

What are the typical safety features of this type of equipment?

Common safety features include 'hold to run' controls, upper and lower limit switches, and mechanical safety latches to prevent uncontrolled descent. Buyers should confirm guarding requirements with the seller and their own risk assessment.

Is this equipment suitable for washdown environments?

Yes, units constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel with IP65 rated control panels are designed to withstand regular washdown, making them suitable for hygienic food processing environments.

Can the discharge height be adjusted?

While the listed unit has a fixed discharge height, the limit switches for travel are typically adjustable by trained personnel for fine-tuning on-site. Significant height changes usually require a different model.

What kind of crates can this tipper handle?

This specific unit is designed for 600 x 400mm blue plastic crates. Crate tippers are often built to accommodate specific crate dimensions, so buyers should confirm compatibility with their existing containers.

What are the installation requirements?

BTM/100/1750/B Single Pillar Crate Tipper

This Single Pillar Crate Tipper is designed to lift and tip a Blue Plastic Crate (600 x 400mm) at a discharge height of 1750mm. The Crate Tipper is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a welded construction throughout and is designed to be bolted to the floor. The lifting is achieved by a ¾” Simplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column. The unguarded Crate Tipper is fitted with our unique safety latch which engages automatically in the extremely unlikely event of a lift chain failure.

Crate Tipper Electrical Control

This Crate Tipper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the main column 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 unguarded Crate Tipper operates on a ‘hold to run’ principle such that the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ pushbuttons must be held for the Crate Tipper to operate. As soon as either button is released, the Crate Tipper will stop. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
