Tilt Hoist

---

The Mellott 7 Ton and 15 ton Tilt Hoists are designed to unstack stickered packages of lumber. The standard machine is designed for 66" high x 72" wide x 16' long packages. Shorter columns and forks are available for smaller packages. Heavy construction and a simple design are used throughout the Tilt Hoists in order to keep maintenance and down time to a minimum.

• Base frame constructed in two pieces so that the forks can be assembled on the tilt hoist for shipping
• The steel columns are welded to a pivot tube at the bottom and a square tube at the top to tie all the columns together for extra strength
• Lift cylinder is a 3000 psi rated cushioned hydraulic cylinder with (2) heavy leaf chains
• Heavy leaf chain used in a "z" arrangement for load leveling
• Tilt cylinders are 3000 psi rated cushioned hydraulic cylinders
• Chain attachments use standard connecting links
• Cylinder arms are thick flame cut arms that completely wrap the pivot tube
• Steel rollers used in all of the forks in order to distribute the load to all of the columns
• Optional conveyors include: Infeed decks, outfeed conveyors, stick removal conveyors and stick stacking systems. Combined, these conveyors make a reliable, heavy duty tilt hoist system.
