May 29, 2009, Newsletter Issue #168: Getting Started With A New Hydraulic Box Dumper

Tip of the Week

The hydraulic box dumper allows one person to deal with loads of up to 6,000 pounds (depending on the load rating) in a hopper or other container appropriate for the box dumper. When you set up your hydraulic box dumper there are a few important things your setup and maintenance crew should know. The frame of the dumper must be anchored to the floor securely according to the instructions in the manual. It is not advisable to use alternative anchoring methods--the frame is designed to handle its rated load with the recommended anchoring scheme. Do not allow your crews to customize the hydraulic box dumper without first consulting the manufacturer--you may void your warranty, create a safety condition or both! Replacement parts must be manufacturer-approved for the same reason.
