The Tilter is a simple, robust linefeed display device that tilts and positions a container or rack for maximum operator ergonomic benefit. No electrical or pneumatic power is required. The container or rack is presented to the operator at a fixed 30-degree angle.
The Tilter utilizes a simple mechanical mode of operation, thus eliminating the need to provide electrical or pneumatic power to the unit. The horizontal carriage rotates around an off-center pivot point. When one end is raised by the fork truck the opposite end lowers and becomes fixed and locked at a fixed tilt angle of 30 degrees.
