Tilters

"The Tilter" is a robust linefeed display device used to position and tilt a container or rack to provide maximum ergonomic benefits for the operator.

"The Tilter" utilizes a simple mechanical mode of operation, thus eliminating the need to provide electrical or pneumatic power to the unit. The horizontal carriage rotates around an off center pivot point. When one end is raised by HiLo forks the opposite end lowers and becomes fixed and locked at a tilt angle of 30 degrees.

Sequence of Operation:

• HiLo positions a full container on "The Tilter"
• HiLo places forks under the lip of the carriage and raises forks to the fixed tilt position
• Carriage is locked by foot pedal at its fixed tilt of 30 degrees
• Operator picks parts from container
• Operator releases foot pedal lock then gently pushes container back to its horizontal position
• HiLo removes the container from "The Tilter" and repeats the cycle
