Industry Challenges Limited Container Space Utilization […]
ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 hydraulic container tilters are designed for efficient loading and unloading of 40ft ISO containers carrying dry bulk materials. Both models have a rated lifting capacity of up to 40,000 kg and are operated directly with a truck, eliminating the need for a crane during normal loading and unloading operations.
The ZCT-ATT40 is a dedicated 40ft container tilter with a reinforced support structure and an optimized center of gravity to provide stable operation for longer containers.
The ZCT-ATT20/40 is a flexible 20ft/40ft universal container tilter with a foldable design. It can be manually folded for 20ft containers and opened for 40ft containers, allowing one machine to handle both container lengths.
Both models can be integrated with conveyors, hoppers, feeders and weighing systems to create customized bulk material handling solutions for container loading, unloading and material transfer.
ZFITA supplies heavy-duty 40ft hydraulic container tilters for efficient loading and unloading of dry bulk materials. Designed for standard ISO 40ft shipping containers, our ZCT-ATT40 provides a 40,000 kg rated lifting capacity, 0–45° hydraulic tilting and direct truck-coordinated operation.
For facilities handling different container lengths, we also offer the ZCT-ATT20/40, a convertible hydraulic container tilter compatible with both 20ft and 40ft containers.
ZFITA provides customized container tilting solutions for grain, fertilizers, minerals, recycling materials and other industrial bulk-handling applications.

ZFITA offers two hydraulic container tilter configurations designed for different container-handling requirements.
The ZCT-ATT40 is designed specifically for standard ISO 40ft containers. Its reinforced supporting structure accommodates the longer container geometry and changing load distribution during hydraulic tilting.
This model is suitable for facilities that regularly handle 40ft containers and require a dedicated bulk loading or unloading solution.
The ZCT-ATT20/40 is designed for facilities handling both standard 20ft and 40ft containers.
Its manual folding structure allows two configurations:
This design allows one machine to handle both container lengths, reducing the need for separate tilting equipment.

The ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 have a rated lifting capacity of 40,000 kg.
Their main supporting structures use Q355B structural steel, with load distribution and supporting geometry designed for the applicable container lengths.
The dedicated 40ft design provides the required support for longer shipping containers during hydraulic tilting.
Both models use a synchronized hydraulic system with two pushing cylinders and two pulling cylinders.
The four-cylinder arrangement provides controlled movement throughout the tilting operation, with a specified working pressure of 26 MPa and a tilting speed of 2.0°/s.
The container is positioned directly onto the tilter by truck and secured using the container locking system.
For normal truck-coordinated operation, no separate crane or container-lifting machine is required.
This arrangement simplifies the container-handling process and reduces additional equipment movements.
The equipment incorporates front manual locking pins and rear hydraulic locking pins.
Wireless remote operation and control cabinet buttons are available, using Siemens PLC and Schneider electrical components.
Safety interlocks and protective functions can be configured according to the operating requirements.
An optional weighing system allows the operator to monitor cargo weight during loading.
This can support loading control, reduce unnecessary material handling and assist with weight management.
The ZFITA hydraulic container tilter supports both loading and unloading operations through a controlled hydraulic tilting process.
ZFITA 40ft container tilters can be configured for different dry bulk materials, depending on their bulk density, flow characteristics and handling requirements.
| Industry | Typical Materials |
|---|---|
| Agriculture | Grain and agricultural bulk commodities |
| Fertilizer | Potash, phosphate and fertilizer materials |
| Mining | Minerals, alumina and bauxite dust |
| Chemical & Industrial | Sulphur, salt and compatible dry bulk products |
| Energy | Coal and suitable biomass materials |
| Recycling | Selected metal recycling and loose bulk materials |
For abrasive, dense or difficult-flowing materials, equipment configuration and the associated loading or receiving system should be reviewed before selection.
ZFITA provides different equipment configurations according to container type, operating process and site requirements.
Available options and system integrations include:
The container tilter can be supplied as an individual machine or as part of a coordinated bulk loading and unloading system.
ZFITA supplies hydraulic container tilters and industrial bulk-material handling solutions for customers requiring reliable container loading and unloading equipment.
Our 40ft container tilter range includes dedicated ZCT-ATT40 systems and convertible ZCT-ATT20/40 configurations, with heavy-duty Q355B structural steel, synchronized hydraulic tilting, industrial electrical controls and customizable locking arrangements.
We help customers select equipment based on container size, cargo characteristics, working capacity, truck access and available site space.
In addition to container tilters, ZFITA can provide supporting equipment such as belt conveyors, feeders, hoppers and weighing systems for complete material-handling solutions.
Technical configurations are reviewed against project requirements, including structural specifications, hydraulic components, control systems and selected accessories. Equipment inspection and testing arrangements can be discussed as part of the project supply scope.
ZFITA can coordinate equipment shipment, technical documentation and installation guidance according to the agreed project requirements.
From initial equipment selection to system integration, our goal is to provide a practical container handling solution suited to the customer’s operating conditions.
Selecting the correct container tilter depends on more than lifting capacity.
