Base Handling Ltd - Double Column Wheelie Bin Tipper

• Waste management facilities for emptying bins into larger containers.
• Food processing plants for tipping ingredients into hoppers or mixers.
• Manufacturing operations for transferring bulk materials from bins to production lines.
• Recycling centres for sorting and processing various waste streams.
• Pharmaceutical facilities for controlled discharge of raw materials.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly handle standard 120L, 240L, 660L, and 1100L wheelie bins, with custom options for larger industrial bins.

Power supply

Typically electric, requiring a 3-phase supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) or sometimes single-phase for lighter duty models. Hydraulic power packs are common.
