Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Designed for standard 200-litre or 300-litre tote bins (eurobins), commonly handling loads up to 500 kg.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Maximum tip height

For this class of equipment, maximum tip heights commonly range from 2.5m to 4m, often adjustable.

Construction material

Units for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Safety features

Commonly includes a safety cage, interlocked gates, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary but typically requires sufficient overhead clearance and floor space for the hoist mechanism and bin loading/unloading.

Maintenance requirements

Routine checks of hydraulic or pneumatic systems, electrical components, and mechanical wear parts are typically required.
