1.2
Construction
The MegaDumper consists of a steel frame with two vertical masts and stabilizing legs, a bin
cradle, two hydraulic rams, lifting chains, guarding, powerpack cover, control panel, castor
wheels, power lead or batteries, hydraulic powerpack and electronic control systems.
1.3
Mechanism
When the RAISE button is pressed, two hydraulic rams are extended, which pull on an
arrangement of chains, causing the bin cradle to travel vertically in the masts. The cradle is
inverted at the appropriate height by an arrangement of arms, rollers, and curved tracks.
The rams are supplied by a hydraulic pump, which may be driven by a 3-phase, 1-phase,
battery, or compressed-air motor. Electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical control systems allow
the operator to lift and lower the bin in a controlled manner.
1.4
Safe Lifting Capacity
The Safe Lifting Capacity of the standard MegaDumper is
600kg (550lb)
.
Some machines may be specified with different capacities. Refer to the rating plate to verify
the
f c ’
Safe Lifting Capacity on any given machine.
Safe Lifting Capacity is a gross figure, referring to the weight of the bin, its contents, and
any other external objects which have been placed on the cradle.
Never attempt to lift bins heavier than the
ch ’
Safe Lifting Capacity.
1.5
Duty cycle
