Pallet tipper

In the world of industrial material handling, unloading efficiency is a major driver of productivity. The Goubard pallet tipper (Ref. BP) is an essential piece of equipment for fully emptying pallet contents without manual effort. Designed to fit directly onto your forklift’s forks, this fork-mounted pallet inverter transforms your logistics into a smooth, safe, and high-performance operation.

What is the BP industrial pallet tipper?

The BP model is a patented pallet tipper specifically developed for unloading bulk products or large volumes with low density (cardboard bales, plastics, bags, bulky items). Its primary function is to allow a full forward tip to release the load while ensuring the pallet remains firmly secured to the attachment. Unlike a simple pallet turner, the Goubard system ensures you retain your load carrier after emptying.

Benefits: ergonomics, safety, and productivity

Integrating an industrial pallet tipper into your processes brings concrete advantages:

• Reduction of MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders): By eliminating manual unloading and awkward postures, you protect your operators’ health with an ergonomic
• Enhanced safety: Robust retaining claws and end-of-travel limit cables prevent any risk of the pallet falling or uncontrolled tipping.
• Time savings: Emptying is complete and instantaneous, increasing the processing rate of your waste or raw materials.

Who is the Goubard pallet inverter for? Use cases

The Goubard pallet tipper is a strategic tool for professionals handling large volumes of bulk or waste. It turns a strenuous task into a seamless mechanical operation.

Key sectors and profiles:
