A-Ward container loaders can be fitted with damage protection sides, ends and if required roof supports. This is to protect the container damage during correct scrap metal loading.

Yes. Through loading containers tilted at 90 degrees, you get both gravity head pressure compaction, and closing the door at 90 degrees guarantees maximum full container weight every time.

Excluding variables such as the material transfer time and the truck driver’s ability. A-Wards tilter design works on 30 seconds per corner for locking the container to the frame.  Tilting the unit will take no more than 70 seconds. Therefore, approximate timing is three-to-four-minute preparation for loading, and two to three minutes for tilting down and placing back on the truck.

The tilter is designed to load and unload at any angle. It is controlled via the radio remote control and uses a single button operation. The operator can change or stop/lock the tilter at any time and any position.

Tilters are fitted with a heavy-duty truck wheel guide system for easy truck direction. Most truck drivers are also highly skilled at reversing into tight spots and have no issues. If there are concerns about poor driver ability, we recommend adding external pre-guide wheel guides as an option to align the truck before entering the tilter.

Operators safety is always paramount in A-Ward features and design.  The container connection process removes the use of the operator’s hands being exposed to any danger during the locking and unlocking procedure. This is through one hand operating the single remote and the other on the actuator valve.

Yes, A-Ward tilters can lift and place containers directly off a truck.   A-Ward has several tilter models. Let us know what your preferred container handling is, including swing lift trailers, combi lifts AKA port straddles as well as reach stackers and we can provide a solution.

All models are designed and independently checked to comply with CE and ISO standards. In addition, hydraulics have a dual back-up safety system. For example, if a hose gets damaged during operation, the safety locks will hold it in place until repaired. 

We have clients who are continuously filling 20ft containers as fast as every 8-10minutes, 16 hours per day.

The container door can be open and closed with A-Ward’s hydraulic assisted container door arms safely from a distance.

Yes you can.  Some tilter models are easily moved using a loader or hoist, avoiding any double handling. A-Ward has some scrap yard customers that move their tilters continuously for individual products to be loaded.

Yes, we can provide an integrated solution by supplying a PLC controlled tilter that can be operated by a central management system if required. A-Ward has found this beneficial for use in integrated factories.

Yes, A-Ward can provide you a full turn-key solution. Please ask for some examples of projects we have done.
