Mobile Bin Hoist

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring ingredients from floor-level bins to processing machinery, such as mixers or depositors.
• Loading raw materials into hoppers or feed systems in bakery, confectionery, or meat processing lines.
• Elevating product for packaging lines or further processing stages.
• Moving waste or by-products into larger collection containers for disposal or recycling.
• Integrating into automated production lines for controlled material feeding.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This class of hoist is typically designed for standard 200-litre tote bins, common in food processing.

Discharge height

Units of this type commonly offer discharge heights around 1850mm, suitable for many processing vessels.

Construction material

Food-grade equipment like this is typically manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Mobility

Mobile bin hoists are commonly fitted with castors on a horizontal base frame for easy repositioning within a facility.

Lifting mechanism

Lifting is often achieved via a simplex chain driven by a motor gearbox, mounted at the top of the main column.

Electrical control

Control panels typically feature an IP65 rating for washdown environments and 'hold to run' operation for safety.

Safety features
