Truck dumping system for unloading bulk potatoes
Optimize unloading with precision-tilted truck dumping, reducing product damage and labor costs by leveraging gravity for efficient bulk transfer. Ideal for transitioning bulk produce swiftly into your processing line without the wear of traditional methods.

Tilts and Unloads Bulk Produce Efficiently
The Truck Dumping Hydraulic Lift System from Heat and Control revolutionizes unloading processes in food and agricultural industries. This system features a grade-level hydraulic lift capable of tilting 70-foot trailers at a 45° angle, allowing gravity to efficiently unload bulk products such as potatoes, onions, and fresh produce. Its robust design minimizes product damage and labor costs by eliminating traditional mechanical and manual unloading methods. With a pre-assembled configuration that includes two hydraulic pumps, full-flow oil filters, motors, and a control panel, the system integrates smoothly into existing operations and starts functioning rapidly if equipped with a level concrete slab-on-grade and main electrical supply. The system’s design offers easy access for truck drivers with full-length wheel rails, streamlining the unloading process. Suitable for continuous or manual operations, it can handle diverse applications, producing diced onions, crinkle cut fries, and hard-bite kettle chips, among others. Additionally, its engineering support offers customizable solutions to meet specific plant requirements.
