KM
self-tipping bucket on a stable sub-frame, with
fork recesses and centralising of the bucket in
the sub-frame. The centre of gravity is located
on the fork prongs. The tipping process is started
off by releasing a catch and this can also be done
from the driver’s seat with a
pull-cable. If the bucket is full enough it automatically
tips backwards. Slipping is prevented by a chain
that is firmly attached to the sub-frame.
Suitable for bulk materials with a specific weight
of 0.3 kg/litre or greater but not for mud that
slips. Long drive-in recesses + favourable location
of the centre of gravity means that the bucket sits
firmly on the truck fork prongs. Bucket sets itself
upright again automatically and
so is easy to control from the driver’s seat.
Centralising of the bucket means safe driving, also
over uneven ground. Contoured bucket sides of 3mm
sheet metal ensure long operational life. Rollers
on the sub-frame mean that the bucket can be emptied
from a ramp without using a fork-lift truck. |
