Base Handling Ltd - Trolley Tipper

• Transferring ingredients from large bins into mixers or processing vessels.
• Emptying waste bins into larger skips or compactors.
• Loading raw materials into hoppers for further processing.
• Handling bulk powders, granules, or liquids in industrial containers.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, trolley tippers commonly handle capacities ranging from 200 kg to 1000 kg, though specific models vary.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, requiring appropriate industrial connections.

Tipping height

The maximum tipping height for models like the BTM/300/2200/B suggests a discharge height typically around 2200mm, suitable for elevated hoppers.

Construction material

Industrial trolley tippers are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food or pharmaceutical applications.

Footprint

The footprint of these machines varies, but buyers should consider space for the unit itself plus clearance for trolley movement and tipping operations.

Safety features
