What are the common safety features on mobile tote bin tippers?

Common safety features include full guarding with interlocked access doors, emergency stop buttons, and mechanisms that prevent operation if doors are open or the bin is not correctly seated. This unit specifies guarding to BS EN 14120:2015.

Can these units handle different bin sizes?

This specific unit is designed for 200 or 300 litre tote bins. Other models or customisations might accommodate different bin sizes, but buyers should confirm compatibility with the seller for their specific bins.

What maintenance is typically required for a mobile tote bin tipper?

Regular maintenance typically involves checking chains, sprockets, and bearings for wear, inspecting electrical components and safety interlocks, and ensuring all moving parts are lubricated. Cleaning, especially for food-grade units, is also essential.

Are mobile tippers suitable for outdoor use?

While constructed from stainless steel, these units are generally designed for indoor, controlled environments. Operation outdoors would require specific weatherproofing and electrical considerations not typically standard.

How is the mobility managed on these units?

Mobile units are typically fitted with heavy-duty castors. This unit specifically mentions using an existing guide rail for location and movement, which provides stability and precise positioning within a facility.

BTM/2P/350/2500/M/G Double Pillar Mobile Tote Bin Tipper

This Double Pillar Mobile Tote Bin Tipper that is designed to lift and tip either a 200 or 300 Litre Tote Bin at a discharge height of 2500mm. The Mobile Tote Bin Tipper is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel and is designed to be mobile on castors using the existing guide rail to locate the mobile tote bin tipper. The lifting is accomplished via chains driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the one column with a crossover shaft to the other column.

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

The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 3mm wire, 40mm aperture stainless steel weld mesh to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. It encloses the Mobile Tote Bin Tipper to a height of 2500mm on the tipping side and 3500mm elsewhere. There are a pair of hinged doors through which the tote bin is loaded which are electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the mobile tote bin tipper from operating when a door is open. Additionally, the guard doors can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised. There will be a pair of guide rail roller assemblies fixed to the outside of the safety guard which will locate onto the existing rail to guide the Mobile Tote Bin Tipper as it is moved.

Mobile Tote Bin Tipper Electrical Control

This Mobile Tote Bin Tipper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the safety guard at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility.

Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. The mobile tote bin tipper operation is latched so that pressing the ‘Up’ push button once will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, pressing the ‘Down’ push button once will return the machine to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
