Overview
Reaching deep into pallets, totes, and containers slows production and puts stress on workers. The PTU2‑85 E‑Z Reach Portable Pallet Tilter reduces this strain by tilting loads toward the operator. This brings materials closer and helps reduce bending and awkward movements. The result is faster, safer, and easier material handling.
Because it works as a portable tilt solution, the PTU2‑85 can move quickly between work areas. Standard pallet jacks can easily lift and relocate it. One single operator can position, tilt, and use the unit without help. Whether loading parts, cartons, or bulk items, this pallet tilter makes the job easier with far less effort.
Features & Benefits
This heavy duty tilting system is built for demanding industrial work. The platform tilts up to 85 degrees, giving workers better access to items inside boxes, bins, and totes. As a box tilter, container tilter, and tote tilter, it limits deep reaching and keeps parts within easy reach.
The hydraulic mechanism acts like a controlled tilting jack, lifting and tilting loads smoothly. Because the lift tilts at a safe, ergonomic angle, workers can reach items that normally sit far inside a pallet load. This reduces fatigue and helps maintain speed during long shifts.
The PTU2‑85 is available in manual‑move or DC power configurations. The DC option uses simple push‑button controls for quick, reliable tilting without manual pumping. This is ideal for facilities that tilt loads many times each day.
Fork pockets allow fast movement with pallet jacks, supporting flexible and changing workflows. This mobility also helps teams adapt the tilter to seasonal or multi‑station operations
| Load Capacity (lbs.) | Tilt Angle | Dimensions (in.) | Fork Length (in.) | Fork Outer Diameter (in.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 85 Degrees | 34 x 54 | 40 | 24.5 |
Applications
The PTU2‑85 is a versatile tilter machine used in many industries, including:
- Assembly lines accessing parts in totes or boxes
- Manufacturing cells retrieving materials from deep containers
- Warehouses unloading boxes from pallets or bulk bins
- Distribution centers preparing goods for packing
- Maintenance areas tilting heavy or awkward items for repair
By improving access to materials and reducing awkward reaches, this tilt table helps maintain productivity and reduces strain on workers.
Maintenance
The PTU2‑85 is designed for simple, low‑maintenance use. Regular tasks include checking hydraulic hoses, confirming smooth tilt action, and cleaning the platform. Lubricating pivot points as needed helps keep the unit performing well. Its heavy duty frame supports years of reliable service, even in busy environments.
Selection Assistance
Choose a pallet tilter based on your loads and containers. Consider weight, dimensions, and the typical pick depth. Look at cycle rates, operator distance, and space limits at each station. If your team often reaches into deep boxes or bulk bins, this portable tilt unit is a strong fit.
Pick manual‑move or DC power based on your volume. Manual works well for occasional tilts and lighter duty. DC power suits frequent, push‑button control in fast areas. Both options support single operator use and quick relocation with pallet jacks.
