General Overview
The lifting power for Multi-Tip tippers comes from a hydraulic power pack, normally battery-
powered but may be mains-powered (refer to separate booklet for service of mains-powered
machines). When the “Raise” button is pressed, the
motor runs and hydraulic oil is forced under
pressure into the lift ram, causing it to extend. The ram has a roller on the end; as it extends, a
chain is pulled up around the roller, which lifts the bin cradle.
When the “Down” button is pressed, a solenoi
d valve opens and the hydraulic oil flows back into
the tank at a controlled rate. The bin and cradle are not powered down
–
they come down by
gravity alone. The whole action is smooth and efficient, and can handle very heavy bins
continuously with little or no maintenance.
