Lifters & Handling Equipm. - how to select the right one::
Tipping angle
This refers to the angle at which the bin is at, when the contents is ejected. It should be measured as the angle between the leading face of the bin and the horizontal. The bin should be stationary at this time. It can therefore be referred to as the “stationary-tipping angle”. The ideal stationary tipping angle is 45°, giving you optimum ejection without the bin wanting to go over centre and fall forward, causing possible damage to both the bin and the machinery.
In some cases the tipping angle is referred to as the maximum angle that the bin reaches. This angle normally varies between 45° and 55°.
So it is important to know which tipping angle someone is referring to, the stationary tipping angle or the maximum tipping angle. This tends to cause some confusion within the Industry.
