Container Tilter for 40ft container

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.

40ft Container Tilter Models

ZFITA offers two hydraulic container tilter configurations designed for different container-handling requirements.

ZCT-ATT40 – Dedicated 40ft Container Tilter

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.

ZCT-ATT20/40 – Convertible 20ft & 40ft Container Tilter

The ZCT-ATT20/40 is designed for facilities handling both standard 20ft and 40ft containers.

Its manual folding structure allows two configurations:

  • Folded Position: Suitable for 20ft containers.
  • Opened Position: Suitable for 40ft containers.

This design allows one machine to handle both container lengths, reducing the need for separate tilting equipment.

Key Features of ZFITA 40ft Hydraulic Container Tilters

40-Ton Heavy-Duty Steel Structure

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.

Four-Cylinder Synchronized Hydraulic System

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.

Direct Truck-to-Tilter Operation

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.

Container Locking and Operational Safety

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.

Optional Integrated Weighing

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.


How Does a 40ft Container Tilter Work?

The ZFITA hydraulic container tilter supports both loading and unloading operations through a controlled hydraulic tilting process.

Container Loading Process

  1. A truck positions the empty container onto the tilting platform.
  2. The container is secured using the locking system.
  3. The hydraulic system raises the container to the required working angle.
  4. Bulk materials are loaded through suitable feeding or conveying equipment.
  5. The container returns to the horizontal position and is released.

Container Unloading Process

  1. The loaded container is positioned and secured.
  2. The container doors are prepared according to the unloading procedure.
  3. The hydraulic system gradually tilts the container.
  4. Bulk materials discharge by gravity into a hopper, conveyor or receiving system.
  5. The container returns to its horizontal position for release.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifting capacity of the ZFITA 40ft container tilter?

Both ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 have a rated lifting capacity of 40,000 kg. The actual operating load must remain within the limits of the equipment, container and handling arrangement.

Can one container tilter handle both 20ft and 40ft containers?

Yes. The ZCT-ATT20/40 uses a manual folding structure to switch between 20ft and 40ft container configurations.

Can the machine be used for both loading and unloading?

Yes. Both models support loading and unloading operations when configured with the appropriate material feeding or discharge equipment.

What is the maximum tilting angle?

The specified maximum tilting angle is 45° for both ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40.

Is a crane required for container handling?

A separate crane is not required for the normal truck-coordinated operating process. The truck positions the container directly onto the tilting equipment.

Can the container tilter be connected to a belt conveyor?

Yes. The equipment can be integrated with belt conveyors, feeding systems and receiving hoppers according to the loading or unloading application.

What is the difference between ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40?
