What this machine does
A board bundle or sheet stack that arrives flat often needs to stand on edge for handling or storage. This machine class tilts a large flat platform backward on hydraulic drive, turning the load from horizontal to near-vertical without manual lifting.
Use this page to decide whether a hydraulic tilter fits your handling flow, and to see which data FHOPE asks for to size one.
Frame and drive
The machine has a large flat yellow platform, a vertical back panel, a control panel on the left, and hydraulic drive components. The machine carries a brand logo reading FROPE on the vertical panel.
Platform size and tilt rating are set in the sizing step.
Tilting cycle
The cycle starts with the load on the platform: the platform tilts backward pivoting at the front edge. An operator in a blue shirt works at the control panel on the left throughout the cycle until the load reaches the near-vertical position.
The tilt speed is set per load. Tilt angle range is confirmed with your load in the sizing step.
What the demo footage supports
The clip shows the large flat yellow platform tilting backward from a lower angle to a near-vertical position, with the operator at the control panel the whole time.
It is a general demonstration. It does not show rated load weight, platform size, tilt angle range, cycle time, or model designation. Those points are confirmed in the enquiry, not assumed.
Sizing and configuration
This machine is sized from your load range and site, not from a fixed rating plate. Confirm the following with FHOPE in the enquiry:
| Data to confirm | What it determines |
|---|---|
| Load weight and size range (kg, mm) | Frame, drive and station sizing |
| Loads per shift | Line sizing and cycle time |
| How the load enters and leaves | Loading equipment and layout |
| Electrical supply (voltage, phase, frequency) | Drive and control build. House-typical 380 V three-phase 50 Hz, 220 V single-phase option, confirmed on site |
Every row is confirmed to your site conditions before the build.
Operation and safety
Keep clear of the moving parts while the machine runs, and check the drives and hydraulic power unit per the machine manual. Stop the machine and isolate the power supply before clearing a jam or reaching near the load, and apply lock-out per the site procedure before any service work.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does this hydraulic tilter do? A: It tilts a large flat platform backward on hydraulic drive, turning the load from horizontal to near-vertical.
Q: How does the platform move? A: The platform tilts backward pivoting at the front edge, until it reaches the near-vertical position.
Q: Who operates it? A: An operator works at the control panel on the left throughout the cycle.
Q: What is on the machine panel? A: A brand logo reading FROPE on the vertical panel; the workshop background shows other equipment.
Q: What electric supply does it need? A: The house-typical build is 380 V three-phase 50 Hz; light machines can be arranged at 220 V single phase. Confirm the site supply in the enquiry.
Next step: RFQ checklist
- Email info@fhopepack.com with your load weight and platform size range.
- State the tilt angle range your flow needs.
- Submit your layout drawing of the load infeed and outfeed area.
- Receive a proposal with tilt rating and cycle time within 48 hours, and book a site survey if you want the pit and layout checked before the build.
