Versatip Bin Tippers

A wheelie bin tipper is a fit for purpose piece of equipment that makes difficult task easy. Wheelie bin tippers lift and then tip, allowing the operator to empty the contents of a wheelie bin simply, easily, and safely into a lager bin, process line or sorting equipment.

A wheelie bin tipper is a specialized piece of powered equipment designed to simplify the often difficult and manual labor-intensive task of emptying wheelie bins. This tool lifts and tips the bin, allowing its contents to be safely and easily emptied into a larger bin, processing line, or sorting system. By reducing the physical strain on operators and improving efficiency, wheelie bin tippers are ideal for industries that handle waste, recycling, or bulk materials regularly. They’re built to make the job faster, safer, and more convenient.

Bin tippers are available in different models, from manual hand winch style utilising a cable lifting action to electric over hydraulic which uses chains and hydraulic ram to lift a dedicated cradle through a engineered lifting and tipping action.

Wheelie bin tippers operate by lifting and tipping wheelie bins using a specially designed cradle. Depending on the model, they work in different ways:

Manual Hand Winch Models: These use a cable lifting mechanism. The operator manually turns a winch, which raises the cradle and tips the bin. These are simple and cost-effective, ideal for lighter and less frequent workloads.

Electric Over Hydraulic Models: These use a combination of hydraulic rams and chains to lift and tip the cradle. With just the press of a button, the system performs the heavy lifting for you, making it ideal for larger or more frequent loads.

To use a wheelie bin tipper:

• Wheel the wheelie bin into the cradle. – our cradles don’t need the operator to secure the bin, they just need to line the wheels up with the wheel retainers, and the bin tipper looks after the bin from there
• Activate the lifting mechanism (either manually or electronically).
• The cradle lifts and tilts, allowing the contents of the bin to empty into a larger container or system.
• Always follow the Sitecraft manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines for your specific model to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Versatip bin tippers as designed to work with regular 2 wheeled bin sizes including 80lt, 100lt, 120lt and 240lt. The Versatip360 will accommodate for these sizes plus also the larger 360lt bins. There is a specialised version which is dedicated to the ‘Brute Bins’ and ‘Thor Bins’ which are found in many processing facilities.

Versatip Wheelie Bin Tippers are designed to handle a wide range of bin sizes, ensuring flexibility for various needs.

• Standard 2-Wheeled Bins: Most Versatip models work seamlessly with common wheelie bin sizes, including 80L, 100L, 120L, and 240L bins.
• Larger Bins: The Versatip 360 model is specifically designed to accommodate these standard sizes and larger 360L bins.
• Specialised Bins: A dedicated version of the Versatip is available for use with specialised ‘Brute Bins’ and ‘Thor Bins,’ which are commonly used in processing facilities.

Always confirm compatibility with your specific bin type when selecting a Versatip model to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

The Versatip Bin Tippers come standard as mobile units fitted with four European wheels for manoeuvrability. The bin face has two fixed direction wheels, and the operator end has 2 braked swivel castors. The4se bin tippers can be operated as standalone, no floor fix down required and neither do they need to be clipped or connected to whatever they are tipping in to. Bearing all this in mind, there is no installation required provided the required power source is readily available.

No, installation is not required for Versatip Wheelie Bin Tippers. These units are designed as fully mobile systems with four European wheels for easy maneuverability. The bin-facing end has two fixed-direction wheels for stability, while the operator end features two braked swivel castors for controlled movement.

Versatip tippers operate as standalone units, meaning they don’t need to be bolted down to the floor or clipped to the equipment or containers they are tipping into. Simply ensure that a compatible power source is readily available, and your Versatip is ready to use right away. This makes them highly versatile and easy to integrate into your workflow.

As we all relate to, anything that is mechanical requires some varying degree of maintenance. Longevity has been at the forefront of all design decisions when the Versatip was created, special wear resistant rollers have been incorporated along with other high-quality componentry to provide peace of mind. Recommended service intervals will vary according to usage and the surrounding environment. Typically, the recommendation would be for servicing 12 monthly and bi-monthly for very demanding applications.

Like any mechanical equipment, the Versatip Wheelie Bin Tipper requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Built with durability in mind, it features wear-resistant rollers and high-quality components designed to reduce the need for frequent repairs.

Maintenance Guidelines:

1. Routine Servicing: For standard usage, it’s recommended to service the unit annually (every 12 months).
2. Demanding Applications: In high-usage or harsh environments, bi-monthly servicing (every two months) is advisable.
3. Inspections: Regularly check the functionally, battery charge (on battery powered units ) and for evidence of any hydraulic leaks.

Adhering to these guidelines will keep your Versatip running smoothly and extend its service life. Always refer to the Sitecraft Product Manual and maintenance schedule for your specific model.
