Telehandler Hoppers
Sometimes we use tools that exist with new tools. Mast and yard forklifts were a common tool when I was a kid. Telehandlers were a dream item. Forklift Tipper Bins were the tool. And they still are with mast forklifts. They just work. But on a telehandler, we have another option. The carriage on a telehandler tips. What if we could make it so the operator never gets out of the seat? Wouldn’t that be a huge advantage?
No longer do you need to ask your operator to get out of the seat 3 times per tipper bin cycle. Charge the forks, lift the bin, ensure the structure grabbed, tip away. When you set it back down, it will release the lock and you are off to the next function with the telehandler. It’s safer for the the operator. Knee and back injury exposures are mitigated. You have less opportunities for error in forgetting to set the emergency brake and put the forklift into neutral. And the speeds are faster in that you aren’t needing to get out of the seat those three times which can be a minute or more per cycle.
It’s time to upgrade the hopper you are using with your telehandler. Get it with crane lifting eyes. Fly it up to the building. When it’s time to dump it out. Drop it on the ground and keep that crane moving. Have the forklift get to the trash run and the next time the crane is cycling up to the floor empty they can grab it and bring it up. You don’t need to ask the rigger to get into the dumpster for the clumsy trash bins a lot of contractors have, and you don’t need to waste the crane time either.
