Bulk Bag Unloader Accommodates Facilities With Limited Ceiling Height

June 19, 2013
Hapman engineers designed a slide-rail configuration that requires no additional headroom.

Hapman’s new low-clearance bulk bag unloader was engineered to operate in low-ceiling facilities where standard unloaders either won’t fit or are difficult to use. Wherever a forklift has trouble maneuvering against a ceiling for bag change outs, the low-clearance bulk bag unloader can be moved into place.

Other models require forklift operators to raise the top section several inches over the base to balance it on corner posts while visually obstructed by the bulk bag. To avoid this, Hapman engineers designed a slide-rail configuration that requires no additional headroom. Integrated UHMW-lined troughs with fork guides permit operators to glide the sections into position. Sturdy slide rails on the base wrap around the I-beam glides, securely holding them in place for increased safety during assembly and operation.
