Hydraulic Container Tilter Models

ZFITA offers three standard configurations to meet different container sizes and operating requirements.

ZCT-ATT20 — 20ft Hydraulic Container Tilter

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.

ZCT-ATT40 — 40ft Hydraulic Container Tilter

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.

ZCT-ATT20/40 — Convertible Container Tilter

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.

Key Features of Standard Hydraulic Container Tilters

40-Ton Heavy-Duty Steel Structure

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.

Adjustable Hydraulic Tilting

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.

Truck-Coordinated Container Positioning

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.

Container Locking and Hydraulic Control

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.

Optional System Integration

Available project-based configurations include:

  • Integrated weighing systems
  • Hydraulic container locking upgrades
  • Side protection guards
  • Feeding conveyors and receiving hoppers
  • Customized electrical and control configurations

Container Loading and Unloading Applications

Bulk Container Loading

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.

Bulk Container Unloading

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.

Suitable Bulk Materials and Industries

IndustryTypical Materials
AgricultureGrain and agricultural bulk commodities
FertilizerPotash, phosphate and dry fertilizer
MiningMineral powders, bauxite and compatible bulk minerals
ChemicalsSulphur and compatible dry bulk chemicals
RecyclingSelected scrap and recyclable materials
Industrial Bulk HandlingOther suitable dry bulk solids

Material suitability should be evaluated according to particle size, bulk density, moisture, abrasiveness and required handling conditions.

How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Container Tilter

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.

Yes. The ZCT-ATT20/40 convertible model uses a manually folding structure designed for both ISO 20ft and 40ft containers.

What is the maximum tilting angle?

The ZCT-ATT20 supports 0–90° tilting. The ZCT-ATT40 and ZCT-ATT20/40 support 0–45° in the listed configurations.

Can these container tilters be used for both loading and unloading?

Yes. The standard series can support both operations when configured with suitable material feeding or receiving equipment.

Is a crane required to position the container?

The standard truck-coordinated configurations are designed to operate without a separate crane during their normal container-positioning procedure.

Is a weighing system included?

Weighing is available as an optional configuration. Its inclusion should be confirmed in the final equipment quotation.

Can the equipment handle 40 tons of cargo?
