TOTAL SYSTEMS FOR CONTAINER LOADING AND UNLOADING OF BULK MATERIALS

Container Unloading for Bulk Handling Materials

A-Ward’s unique Mitilt™ unloader eliminates the need for scarce and expensive tilting trailers. Whether your material is being unloaded through a grate, over an edge, or directly in the ground, the Mitilt™ enables faster, cleaner and safer unloading.

MITILTTM IS IDEAL FOR

  • Unloading a range of materials directly into your storage system, at the speed you want.
  • Contamination-free unloading of sensitive or hazardous materials.
With its gravity-fed design, the MiTiltTM is ideally suited to loose materials such as minerals, metal, grains, sugar and rice. For other types of materials, see Industries.

SEE HOW IT WORKS

The MiTilt™ unloader tilts up to a maximum unloading angle of 70 degree, with a 90 degree option available if required. They work in a similar way as our MiTilt™ loaders.

FEATURES

Revolutionary tilting container loader

STREAMLINES BULK HANDLING

MiTiltTM enables you to load directly into shipping containers in less than five minutes. You’ll increase profitability – with the flexibility to load containers where and when you want.

SAVES ON LABOR AND EQUIPMENT

A-Ward’s intelligent remote control system allows a single operator to complete the loading, weighing and transfer – all from the safety of the controller’s cab.

OPTIONS TO SUIT YOUR OPERATION

Depending on your needs and budget, you have a choice of tilting options (0-70°, or 0-90°); and choice of frame (Universal, Flat Deck, Long Front, Short Rear). Choose your customized combination for the greatest efficiencies and cost savings.

SMALLER FOOTPRINT

MiTiltTM is highly compact and takes up far less yard space than traditional container loaders. By utilizing every last inch of space, containers are filled to 100% capacity.

ACCURATE WEIGHING

MiTiltTM built-in scale system means each load is weighed ‘live’ by the operator, using a digital hand-held remote. So you will avoid double-handling and ensure accurate payload every time.

DESIGNED TOUGHER

MiTiltTM is designed and built to take the knocks. The proof? Hundreds of our customers use their MiTiltTM day after day, year after year, in the toughest industrial conditions.

RAISE & TILT

RAISED TILTING UNLOADERS

Want to avoid the cost and hassle of building a below-ground hopper or storage system? A-Ward offers two unloader models specifically designed to unload into above-ground systems. They allow you raise the open end of the container above the ground during tilting, for greater ground clearance.

How it works:

It works in a similar way to the Tilt & Raise, except this unit raises to a set height before tilting secondly. You set the desired height of your fixed tilting point.

It’s ideal for:

  • Plants that have an existing above-ground hopper (and want to avoid the cost of building an underground system).
  • Unloading at any set heights above ground.
  • When the operator requires a clear space to open the container doors and prepared opening before it moves towards the unloading position.

TILT & RAISE

TILT AND RAISE UNLOADERS

Want to avoid the cost and hassle of building a below-ground hopper or storage system? A-Ward offers two unloader models specifically designed to unload into above-ground systems. They allow you raise the open end of the container above the ground during tilting, for greater ground clearance.

How it works:

It allows you to lift your lower container edge up to 1.5m-2m, for tipping into the area below. This unit tilts as it is being raised up, so will usually have some kind of transfer system connected to it.

It’s ideal for:

  • Connection to fixed above ground transferring system prior to container tipping.
  • Including an unloading hopper as part of the A-Ward tilt frame.
  • Unloading material at a raise position above the ground.
