Single & Dual Side Container Tilter

ZFITA manufactures 20ft single and dual side hydraulic container tilters for industrial bulk loading and unloading. The ZCF35-SS features a single-lane, single-side configuration with 0–90° tilting, while the ZCF35-DD provides a dual-lane, dual-side arrangement with tilting capability in both directions up to ±90°. Custom configurations are available to accommodate different truck access routes and material-handling requirements.

Product Introduction

ZFITA manufactures single and dual side hydraulic container tilters designed for bulk material loading and unloading in 20ft ISO shipping containers.

The product range includes two configurations: ZCF35-SS Single-Lane Single-Side Container Tilter and ZCF35-DD Dual-Lane Dual-Side Container Tilter.

These machines use hydraulic tilting systems to position secured shipping containers at controlled angles for material loading or gravity discharge. Different lane and tilting arrangements are available to accommodate truck access, operating direction and site layout requirements.

Single & Dual Side Container Tilter Models

ZCF35-SS — Single-Lane Single-Side Container Tilter

The ZCF35-SS is designed for 20ft containers operating within a single-lane arrangement.

It supports hydraulic tilting from 0° to 90° in one designated direction, making it suitable for facilities with a consistent truck access route and a fixed loading or unloading position.

Key Features

  • Compatible with 20ft ISO shipping containers
  • Single-lane operating arrangement
  • Single-side hydraulic tilting
  • 0–90° tilting range
  • Suitable for bulk loading and unloading
  • Designed for designated container-handling stations

ZCF35-DD — Dual-Lane Dual-Side Container Tilter

The ZCF35-DD is designed for 20ft container-handling operations requiring greater flexibility in truck access and tilting direction.

Its dual-lane arrangement and bidirectional tilting capability allow the equipment to accommodate different operating positions, depending on the site layout and machine configuration.

The specified tilting range is ±90°, providing tilting capability in two directions rather than one fixed direction.

Key Features

  • Compatible with 20ft ISO shipping containers
  • Dual-lane operating arrangement
  • Dual-side hydraulic tilting
  • Up to ±90° tilting capability
  • Flexible truck access and operating configurations
  • Suitable for bulk loading and unloading

Key Features of Single & Dual Side Container Tilters

Single-Lane and Dual-Lane Configurations

ZFITA offers different container-handling layouts for facilities with varying truck traffic patterns and operational requirements.

The single-lane configuration is suitable for a designated loading or unloading position, while the dual-lane configuration provides additional options for arranging truck access and container-handling operations.

Hydraulic Tilting Control

Both configurations use hydraulic systems to raise and tilt secured shipping containers.

The ZCF35-SS supports a 0–90° range in one direction. The ZCF35-DD provides tilting capability in both directions up to ±90°.

The operating angle can be selected according to material characteristics, feeding or discharge equipment, and safe operating requirements.

Container Positioning and Locking

Containers are positioned at the designated operating station and secured using the locking arrangement specified for the machine.

Proper container support, locking verification and operating clearance are essential before hydraulic tilting begins.

Flexible Truck Access

The ZCF35-SS is intended for operations with a consistent truck approach and a designated tilting direction.

The ZCF35-DD offers greater flexibility for sites where truck approach directions or container-handling positions vary.

Actual access arrangements depend on the machine design, installation layout and operating procedure.

Optional Equipment Integration

Depending on project requirements, the container tilter can be configured for integration with:

  • Bulk material feeding conveyors
  • Material receiving hoppers
  • Optional weighing systems
  • Hydraulic control and remote operation
  • Customized safety guards and access arrangements

Container Loading and Unloading Applications

Bulk Container Loading

For container loading applications, the equipment secures and tilts the container to a selected angle.

Dry bulk material is then introduced through a suitable feeding system. After loading is completed, the container returns to the required transport position.

The feeding method and operating angle depend on the material properties and selected container tilter configuration.

Bulk Container Unloading

For unloading operations, the equipment secures a loaded container and raises it to a suitable discharge angle.

Compatible bulk materials can then flow by gravity through the container opening into a receiving hopper or downstream conveying system.

The unloading arrangement should be selected according to material flowability, discharge clearance and receiving equipment capacity.

Suitable Industries and Bulk Materials

IndustryTypical Materials
AgricultureGrain and other dry agricultural commodities
FertilizerGranular fertilizers and compatible dry fertilizer materials
MiningMineral granules and suitable dry bulk minerals
Chemical IndustryCompatible dry bulk chemical materials
RecyclingSelected recyclable bulk materials
Industrial LogisticsOther compatible containerized bulk solids

Material compatibility should be evaluated based on bulk density, moisture, particle size, abrasiveness and discharge characteristics.

How to Choose Between Single Side and Dual Side Container Tilters

Choose ZCF35-SS When:

  • The facility handles 20ft containers.
  • Trucks use a designated approach and operating route.
  • Tilting in one direction meets the project requirements.
  • A single-lane arrangement is suitable for the available space.

Choose ZCF35-DD When:

  • The facility handles 20ft containers.
  • Different truck access arrangements must be accommodated.
  • Tilting in either direction is required.
  • A dual-lane arrangement provides operational benefits for the site.

The final selection should consider truck circulation, available floor space, container weight, material characteristics, loading or unloading equipment and required operating angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between single side and dual side container tilters?

A single-side container tilter tilts in one designated direction. A dual-side container tilter supports tilting in two directions, providing additional flexibility for different operating arrangements.

Is single side the same as single lane?

No. Single side describes the tilting direction, while single lane describes the equipment’s operating lane arrangement. They are different design characteristics.

What container sizes are available?

The ZCF35-SS and ZCF35-DD configurations described on this page are intended for 20ft ISO shipping containers.

What are the maximum tilting angles?

The ZCF35-SS has a specified 0–90° tilting range. The ZCF35-DD supports tilting in both directions up to ±90°.

Can both models be used for loading and unloading?

Yes. Both configurations can support bulk loading and unloading when integrated with suitable feeding or receiving equipment.

Does dual lane mean two containers can be tilted simultaneously?

Not necessarily. Dual lane describes the operating arrangement and does not automatically mean the equipment can tilt two loaded containers at the same time. Simultaneous operation requires a specifically designed and verified configuration.

Can the equipment be customized?

ZFITA can review custom configurations for truck access, operating layout, hydraulic control and material-handling equipment integration.
