Why Our Dumpers

Engineered for Your Container, Not Off a Shelf

Each dumper is designed around what you dump, where it goes and how it gets loaded, and you approve a full set of engineering drawings before it is built.

Built by a proven partner

A proven manufacturing partner builds the dumper. We supply and service it, so you deal with one team.

Built for your container

Each skip and hold-down is designed around the exact container you dump: boxes, totes, drums, gaylords, pails or bales.

Full engineering package, every job

A complete set of engineering documents comes to you for approval, no matter how small the job.

Heavy-duty, US-sourced components

Industrial-grade parts from brands like Allen-Bradley, SEW-Eurodrive, Vickers Hydraulics and SKF Bearings.

Dust and contamination control

Lift & Seal dust hoods, valves, delumpers and airlocks keep product contained, clean and metered into your process.

Safe by design

Interlocked safety gates and enclosures, upper and lower limit switches, E-stop controls and light curtains where needed.

Application Examples

Built Around the Job

Every dumper is designed around the material, the container and the discharge point. Here are a few real hydraulic dumper installations and how they were built.

Hydraulic dumper. Built Around the Job
Hydraulic dumper. Powdered material fed automatically from a weigh conveyor into a ribbon blender.
REFRACTORY MIX

Powdered material fed automatically from a weigh conveyor into a ribbon blender. Lift & Seal operation contains the dust, with PLC-driven dust-tight controls.

Hydraulic dumper. Metal chips moved from a self-dumping hopper into a chip crusher, inside a wire mesh enclosure with a light curtain and oil-tight controls.
METAL TURNINGS

Metal chips moved from a self-dumping hopper into a chip crusher, inside a wire mesh enclosure with a light curtain and oil-tight controls.

Hydraulic dumper. Casings emptied from a steel tote into rotary equipment.
SHELL CASINGS

Casings emptied from a steel tote into rotary equipment. A vibrator aids discharge, and powered wheels on a rail serve multiple stations.

Features & Benefits

Everything a Dumper Should Do

Any capacity

Loads from small pails up to 16,000 lb steel boxes.

Up to 180° discharge

Standard 45 to 60 degree dump angles, or full inversion for sticky materials.

Low or high level

Dump near the floor, or go high with a skip hoist up to 165 ft.

Free-standing

Ships fully assembled and pre-wired, with no building attachment needed.

Lift & Seal option

A sealed dust hood gives dust-free, contamination-free, metered discharge.

Automation ready

Load by forklift, pallet jack, conveyor or AGV, and tie into your plant controls.

Choosing the Right Dumper

Hydraulic or Skip Hoist?

Both lift a loaded container and tip it out. The right one depends on how high, how heavy and how fast you need to go.
