Industry Challenges Inefficient Bulk Loading with Tradi […]
ZFITA manufactures 20ft, 40ft, and 20ft/40ft convertible hydraulic container tilters for bulk material loading and unloading. Available models include ZCT-ATT20, ZCT-ATT40, and ZCT-ATT20/40, with a rated load capacity of 40,000 kg and hydraulic tilting angles up to 90°, depending on the model. Designed for truck-coordinated operations, these machines support custom configurations for industrial bulk handling applications.
ZFITA manufactures standard hydraulic container tilters for loading and unloading dry bulk materials in 20ft and 40ft ISO shipping containers.
Our product range includes the ZCT-ATT20, ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 convertible model, with rated load capacities of 40,000 kg and hydraulic tilting angles of up to 90°, depending on the selected model.
Designed for truck-coordinated container handling, these machines can be integrated with feeding conveyors, receiving hoppers and optional weighing systems for industrial bulk material operations.
ZFITA offers three standard configurations to meet different container sizes and operating requirements.
Designed for standard ISO 20ft containers, the ZCT-ATT20 provides a rated load capacity of 40,000 kg and an adjustable tilting angle of 0–90°.
Its dual-linkage hydraulic system, Q355B steel structure and truck-coordinated operation make it suitable for bulk material loading and unloading at fixed operating stations.
The ZCT-ATT40 is designed for standard ISO 40ft containers, with a rated load capacity of 40,000 kg and a hydraulic tilting range of 0–45°.
It features a four-cylinder hydraulic system and reinforced supporting structure designed to accommodate longer containers during controlled tilting operations.
The ZCT-ATT20/40 supports both 20ft and 40ft ISO containers using a manually convertible folding structure.
The machine is configured for 40,000 kg rated capacity and 0–45° tilting, making it suitable for facilities handling multiple container sizes without purchasing separate standard tilters.

For the ZCT-ATT20/40 convertible model, the specified folded dimensions are 13,072 × 5,100 × 4,990 mm, and the opened dimensions are 13,072 × 5,100 × 11,200 mm. Equipment weight is at least 23,000 kg.
The three standard models provide a rated load capacity of 40,000 kg, using Q355B structural steel for industrial container-handling operations.
The support structures are configured according to container length and expected load distribution. Actual operating loads must comply with both the machine’s rated capacity and the applicable container weight limits.
The hydraulic system raises the secured container to the required operating angle.
The ZCT-ATT20 supports 0–90° tilting, while the ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 are configured for 0–45°. Loading and unloading angles are selected according to cargo flow characteristics and operating requirements.
The standard series is designed to work with trucks delivering ISO shipping containers.
The container is positioned, supported and locked according to the equipment’s operating procedure before tilting begins. Normal truck-coordinated operation does not require separate crane positioning.
ZFITA offers mechanical and hydraulic locking arrangements depending on the model.
The equipment supports remote or local control, allowing operators to adjust the container angle during loading or unloading.
Available project-based configurations include:
Hydraulic container tilters support inclined container loading when integrated with appropriate feeding equipment.
The container is secured and raised to a selected angle before dry bulk materials enter through the designated loading opening. Once loading is complete, the container returns to a horizontal position for release.
During unloading, a secured loaded container is tilted to a suitable angle, allowing compatible bulk materials to discharge by gravity into a hopper, conveyor or receiving system.
Unloading performance depends on material flowability, moisture, discharge opening and available tilting angle.
| Industry | Typical Materials |
|---|---|
| Agriculture | Grain and agricultural bulk commodities |
| Fertilizer | Potash, phosphate and dry fertilizer |
| Mining | Mineral powders, bauxite and compatible bulk minerals |
| Chemicals | Sulphur and compatible dry bulk chemicals |
| Recycling | Selected scrap and recyclable materials |
| Industrial Bulk Handling | Other suitable dry bulk solids |
Material suitability should be evaluated according to particle size, bulk density, moisture, abrasiveness and required handling conditions.
Choose ZCT-ATT20 when your operation primarily handles 20ft containers and requires an operating angle of up to 90°.
Choose ZCT-ATT40 when your facility handles dedicated 40ft containers and the 0–45° tilting range meets your loading or unloading requirements.
Choose ZCT-ATT20/40 when your operation regularly handles both container sizes and requires a manually convertible container support structure.
Before selecting a model, confirm the container size, maximum operating weight, material characteristics, required tilting angle, available space and supporting material-handling equipment.
