RORO Skip Loader

BTM/300/3700/M/G RORO Skip Loader

This RORO Skip Loader was a single pillar tote bin tipper that was designed to lift and tip at a discharge height of 3700mm. The machine was manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and is a welded construction throughout. The RORO Skip Loader was mobile on castors to allow it to load waste along the full length of the Waste Skip. The lifting is achieved by a ¾” Simplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column.

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

The RORO Skip Loader 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 40 x 40 x 3mm wire, mesh. It encloses the RORO Skip Loader to a height of 2200mm on three sides with a hinged guard door on the fourth side. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the machine 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.

RORO Skip Loader Electrical Control

This RORO Skip Loader is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel 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). 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 control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility. The RORO Skip Loader 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 RORO Skip Loader 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.
