Liftora Arm
1 / 5
The container tilter is built around a fully welded steel chassis, primarily from 305 x 305 x 137 kg beams. The lifting arms are fabricated using 305 x 305 x 137 Kg beams, plated with a 15mm steel plate to give an ultra-high strength lifting frame.
The pivot point is further reinforced with 15 mm plates, which are bushed to accept the 50mm main pins. Actuated by 4 No 100 x 60 mm hydraulic cylinders from -10 degrees (to allow for different trailer heights) up to 90 degrees. Fitted with fail-safe check valves.
Hydraulically activated arms act as supports for the container doors, as well as closing them prior to tilting the container from an upright to a horizontal position. With the doors held firmly, they can be latched safely from ground level. Hydraulics are powered by a 30-litre-per-minute geared pump with a 100-liter capacity reservoir fitted with filtration and PRV protection.
The unit comes complete with a radio-controlled pendant remote unit, allowing operation from the most advantageous and safe position. Manual override controls are also located on the machine as a backup system. The complete unit is mounted onto 4 No Applied Weighing 'Safe Mount' 20,000 kg capacity compression load cells for weighing in any position, displayed via an LCD digital display. The unit is self-contained and driven by a 3 cylinder 20 HP Diesel engine.
