Hydraulic tilting on tipping skip

Optimising waste and material flow in industrial environments depends on the reliability of your lifting accessories. To meet productivity demands, a hydraulic tipping skip transforms your standard equipment into a high-precision emptying solution. At Goubard, we design hydraulic tilting systems for tipping skips that integrate perfectly with your existing fleet of Goubard tipping skips.

What is hydraulic tilting applied to a skip?

Hydraulic tilting is a technology that allows the skip body’s inclination to be controlled via a pressurised fluid circuit. Unlike contact-triggered or manual release, a hydraulic tipping skip offers total control over the tipping angle and discharge speed.

This system is based on the integration of robust hydraulic handling equipment, capable of withstanding the intensive cycles of the most demanding environments (metallurgy or construction skips & hoppers).

Difference between hydraulic and manual tipping skips

The choice between these two modes depends on your frequency of use and the nature of your loads. The automatic contact system is ideal for quick, repetitive emptying. The manual option is suitable for less frequent use.

Furthermore, a tipping skip with a hydraulic cylinder is preferred when precision is paramount. It allows the flow to be interrupted at any time, which is essential for dosing materials or partially filling containers.

The advantages of a hydraulic cylinder tipping skip

Installing a hydraulic option on a tipping skip brings concrete benefits in terms of comfort and profitability:

• Reduced effort: eliminates any strenuous physical handling for the operator.
• Operator safety: remote control from the forklift truck cab.
• Discharge precision: millimetre-perfect control of the opening to prevent overflows.
• Secure industrial skip tilting: hydraulic locking prevents any accidental tipping.

Operation and system components

The heart of the device is the tipping skip hydraulic system. It generally consists of a double-acting cylinder, high-resistance hoses, and quick-release couplings. Power can be supplied by:

• An integrated manual hydraulic pump on the skip.
• A direct connection to the oil outlets of your forklift truck.

This second option allows for automatic skip tilting managed directly by the lifting vehicle’s control levers.

Compatibility and usage contexts for a hydraulic skip

Goubard offers this option on a wide range of models. You can equip a reinforced tipping skip for rubble and construction sites or an automatic skip for waste sorting. This system is particularly recommended in recycling centres, sawmills, or foundries where controlled unloading is an absolute priority.

Safety standards and durability

Reliability is at the heart of our approach. Our hydraulic systems comply with current European standards and undergo rigorous pressure tests. Maintenance is simplified thanks to the use of high-quality standard components, guaranteeing an exceptional lifespan for your investment. Regular maintenance of seals and hoses ensures optimal operation for many years.
