Typical Specifications

Typical lifting capacity: For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 200 kg to over 1000 kg, depending on the specific model and design.
Typical tip height: Units of this type commonly offer tip heights between 1200 mm and 2500 mm, with custom options available for specific facility requirements.
Power supply: Typically, these machines are hydraulically or pneumatically operated, requiring a suitable electrical supply for the pump unit (e.g., 400V, 3-phase) or a compressed air supply.
Construction material: Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene-critical applications, or mild steel with appropriate finishes for less demanding environments.
Footprint: The footprint varies significantly based on lifting capacity and tip height, but buyers should anticipate a base area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m for standard models.
Container compatibility: Designed to lift and tip standard industrial vats, bins, drums, dolavs, and palletainers, with custom cradles available for non-standard containers.
