Base Handling Products Limited has developed a new mechanised Wheelie Bin Tipper that provides a safe, cost-effective alternative to manual handling of wheelie bins.

The machine is a fabricated mild steel construction with an epoxy coated finish and has a Safe Working Load of 300 Kgs. The machine is designed to be bolted to the floor however; a mobile version is also available to allow the machine to be used at various locations. The lifting is achieved by two ½ " Simplex Delta Zed lifting chains driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the machine.

A major advantage of the Wheelie Bin Tipper it that it is supplied as standard with a safety guard to protect both the operator and any other personnel in the area. The guard encloses the machine to a height of 2200mm on three sides and between 1000 and 1800mm at the front. The guard door is mechanically latched closed during the tipping cycle and the tipper controls are based a on a ‘hold to run’ principle’. The machine carries the appropriate CE Certification and documentation and is loaded tested to 125% of its SWL.

Andrew Pitt, Director of Base Handling, said; "With many thousands of wheelie bins in use, the danger of injury through manual handling is a very real risk. With our engineering background in optimum mechanised handling we have been able to develop a very cost-effective, efficient and safe alternative."

Base Handling Product Limited design, develop, manufacture and service a wide range of customised lifting, tipping, weighing and handling solutions from its 11,000 square foot facilities in Brynmawr, South Wales.
