The Mellott 15 ton Tilt Hoists are designed to unstack stickered packages of lumber. The standard machine is designed for 72" high x 96" wide x 16' long packages. Shorter columns and forks are available for smaller packages.

Very heavy construction and a simple design are used throughout the Tilt Hoists in order to keep maintenance and downtime 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 3" square tube at the top to tie all the columns together for extra strength
• Lift cylinders are 5" Bore 3000 psi rated cushioned hydraulic cylinder with (2) heavy RC240 XDO roller chains
• Lift Cylinders are guarded to prevent damage to lift cylinders and kiln sticks
• Heavy leaf chain used in a "x" arrangement for load leveling
• Dual 5" Bore 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.
