Hydraulic Crate Tipper

BTH/500/800/B/G Hydraulic Crate Tipper

This Hydraulic Crate Tipper is designed to lift and tip a Plastic Container (1020mm Long x 735mm Wide x 740mm High) at a discharge height of 800mm. The Hydraulic Crate Tipper is a TIG welded construction throughout and was designed to be bolted to the floor at the edge of a plinth. This Hydraulic Crate Tipper was powered via a hydraulic powerpack and tipped the containers by the extension of a pair of stainless steel hydraulic cylinders to an angle of 30 degrees past the horizontal. The hydraulic cylinders are fitted with a safety check valve such that even in the unlikely event of a hydraulic hose failure, the raised bin will not fall to the floor. The lift carriage was fitted with a tipping chute that directed the cans into a skip.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

This Tipper was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet. The safety guard encloses the Hydraulic Crate Tipper to a height of 2200mm on two sides, 800mm on the tipping side with a pair of hinged guard doors on the fourth side. The guard doors are electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Hydraulic Crate Tipper from operating when the door is open.

Additionally, the guard door can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised. Also included was a Remote Emergency Stop Button mounted inside the safety enclosure and the Interlock Switch had a manual release accessible from inside the safety enclosure.
