What types of IBCs are compatible with this tilting frame?

This frame is typically designed for standard 1000-litre caged IBCs. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific IBC dimensions.

Does this unit require any power connection?

No, mechanical IBC tilting frames like this typically operate without electrical power, relying on a spring-loaded or gravity-actuated mechanism.

How much product can typically be saved using a tilting frame?

Units of this type are designed to significantly reduce residual product, often leaving only 5-10 litres compared to 100 litres or more without tilting.

Is this tilting frame suitable for food-grade applications?

While the function is suitable, buyers should verify the material construction. Stainless steel versions are preferred for direct food contact environments.

How is the IBC loaded onto the tilting frame?

IBCs are typically loaded onto the frame using a forklift truck or a pallet truck, utilising the integrated access points on the frame.

Cowens Carlisle - Ibc Tank Tilting Frame

Price: Contact seller for price

The device consists of the following features in one product:

An IBC stand – move the IBC with fork lift truck or pallet truck
An IBC platform – raises the IBC 555mm to allow for positive feed pressure to pumps etc.
A tilting platform – when connected to the off take hose, release the spring loaded mechanism. When full, the IBC remains horizontal, keeping the whole unit stable.
As the contents reduce to about 150 litres, the platform slowly tilts forward, keeping the off take port covered. Trials have shown that only 5 litres of product remain compared to 100 litres+ without the tilt.

Applications & Use Cases

Facilitating gravity-fed dispensing of viscous or free-flowing liquids from IBCs in food production.
Minimising product waste from IBCs containing sauces, oils, or flavourings.
Integrating IBC contents into mixing or pumping systems requiring consistent feed pressure.
Optimising ingredient transfer in bakeries, dairies, and beverage manufacturing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity: Designed for standard 1000-litre IBCs, though smaller 600-litre or 800-litre IBCs may also be accommodated.
Power supply: This type of tilting frame is typically mechanical and does not require an electrical power supply.
Material construction: Commonly constructed from mild steel with a painted or powder-coated finish, or stainless steel for food-grade applications.
Footprint: Typically slightly larger than the base of a standard IBC to ensure stability, often around 1200mm x 1200mm.
Lift height: Units of this class commonly elevate the IBC by approximately 500-600mm to facilitate gravity feed.
Tilting mechanism: Often spring-loaded or counterweighted, engaging automatically as the IBC contents diminish.
Mobility: Typically designed with fork pockets or pallet truck access for easy relocation within a facility.
