ISCA - Gaylord Tipper

• Transferring bulk ingredients from large containers into processing lines.
• Emptying Gaylord boxes, tote bins, or pallet boxes of raw materials or finished products.
• Loading hoppers, conveyors, or other machinery with bulk solids or semi-solids.
• Handling and tipping various types of containers in food production and packaging facilities.

Typical lifting capacity

Units in this class commonly handle loads ranging from 500 kg to 2,000 kg, depending on the specific model and design.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor protection.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive applications, or mild steel for less demanding environments.

Tip height

The maximum tip height is customisable but typically ranges from 1.5 metres to 3 metres to suit various receiving equipment.

Container compatibility

Designed to lift and tip standard Gaylord boxes, York containers, roll cages, or pallet boxes; custom designs are available for specific container types.

Safety features

Units commonly include fully enclosed safety guarding and interlocked access points to protect operators.

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
