Frequently Asked Questions

What types of containers can this dumper handle?

It’s designed to work with cardboard boxes, plastic bins, and Gaylord containers. Custom cradles can be configured as needed.

Can I set the dump height or angle?

Yes. Both height and angle can be customized depending on your application — from low feed lines to elevated hoppers.

Is it manual or powered?

Most models are hydraulically powered, but manual lift and tip systems can be built for lighter-duty needs.

Can it integrate with other TOTE® systems?

Absolutely. It’s often paired with Wash Stations, Side Door Bins, and material discharge systems.

What is a box or Gaylord dumper?

A box or Gaylord dumper is a material-handling machine that lifts and tips bulk containers — cardboard boxes, plastic bins, or Gaylord totes — to empty their contents into downstream equipment, eliminating manual lifting and dumping.

Is the dumper available in stainless steel for sanitary use?

Yes. Dumpers can be built in stainless steel with food-grade finishes for sanitary applications and integrate directly with TOTE® Wash Stations for a closed cleaning-and-dumping loop.

What safety features are included?

Optional safety cage guarding and interlocks contain the dump zone, while controlled electric or hydraulic actuation ensures smooth, predictable tipping to protect operators and product.
