Telehandler Tipper

For all of my career I’ve been watching people get off of the forklift three times to work with trash bins on telehandler forklifts. You get off for the chain install. Move over to the dumpster so you can tip out the bin. But now you need to get out of the seat again to activate a lever to cause it to tip. While you are doing this, who is in the seat of the forklift with an elevated load? Nobody tell OSHA? Once you get it tipped out and take it back over to where you want to leave it, you have to get out of the seat again to release the chain. It’s a lot of ins and outs. A lot of exposures to those small injuries like sprains, and pulled muscles. The potential for an error like forgetting the parking brake and bumping the shift selector is a real issue. So we solved it.

Eichinger’s Telehandler Tipper

We have automated trash operations with a Telehandler Tipper. When you charge the forks into the pockets fully, then you lift it off of the ground, the structure in the rear wraps around the fork tine heals. This locks it into place and a small ram holds it there. This allows you to use the carriage of the forklift to dump out the bin. When you are ready to set the bin down, the weight of the bin and the withdrawing action of the fork tines causes the structure to rotate back. And Viola! No more chains, levers, or getting out of the seat in the entire process.

We build these in 1.6 and 2.2 yard capacities. If you think it’s time that your operators stayed in the seat of the forklifts to avoid the time lost and the exposure to safety hazards, we can help with our Telehandler tipper.
