Fixed-Height Tilters

Home » Work Positioning » Fixed-Height Tilters

Southworth Fixed-Height Tilters work best for applications involving smaller or shallower containers that don’t require vertical adjustments. Available in 2,000 and 4,000-pound capacities, these tilters can be placed directly on the floor or mounted on a platform.

With tilt angles of 30° or 45°, depending on the model, Fixed-Height Tilters make it easy to access items without bending, reaching, or straining. Choose from hydraulic (T-model designations) or pneumatic (TA-model designations) fixed-height tilters.
