igure 2 shows the operating sequence for the unit.
At the start of the process, the operator places the pal-
let or container on the load enclosure. This enclosure
is positioned at ground level, so it is easy to load the
unit. (See Part A of the illustration.) During the “tilt”
part of the operating cycle, the load enclosure tilts up
90°. (See Part B.) Next, during the “dump” part of the
cycle, the enclosure can be tilted an additional 50° to
dump the items being loaded onto a conveyor or other
device. (See Part C.)
