Autoquip Tork Non-Intrusive Hydraulic Tilter – 2000 to 6000 lb Capacity

The Autoquip Tork Non-Intrusive Tilter tilts containers 45 degrees while the platform stays within its own footprint. The load stays centered over the structural base frame, so the tilter needs less floor space and the operator can stand close to the work.

Tork tilters come from the American Lifts premium line. Autoquip builds them with captured rollers, two-piece self-aligning cylinders and high-impact spiral wound bearings, and rates them for 5X the life cycles of competitive brands. Three standard 45 degree models cover 2000, 4000 and 6000 lbs.

How to Choose the Right Non-Intrusive Tilter

All three standard Tork models tilt 45 degrees, so the choice comes down to load. The TM1A-45-020 handles 2000 lbs with a 1/2 hp motor, the TM2B-45-040 handles 4000 lbs and the TM2E-45-060 handles 6000 lbs, both with 1 hp motors.

Heavier models tilt more slowly: 20 seconds up on the 2000 lb model versus 35 seconds on the 6000 lb model. Size to your heaviest full container, not the average, and ask Autoquip for a platform sized to your container footprint.
