Utility Tilt Truck - The Handiest Helper in the Shop

In every shop or plant floor, waste can come from various sources, such as machining operations or used paper for cleaning. Utility tilt truck carts play a key role in managing this waste, including reusable materials like rags that can be cleaned and reused. Waste may vary in weight from light items to heavy materials. Choosing the right utility tilt cart ensures that the disposal process is easy, safe, and cost-effective.

All CECOR dumping utility tilt truck carts are manufactured for safety and long life and feature:

• Rugged, all-metal construction with fully welded, leak proof seams.
• Reinforced dumping knees for emptying at floor or dock level.
• Carts maneuver easily and roll smoothly, even when fully loaded.

Utility tilt carts, also called utility dump carts, can be made of different materials. CECOR has chosen to focus on designing heavy duty steel tilt trucks because experience has shown they are safer, last longer in industrial and commercial environments, and are less prone to breakdown as a result of harsh

environments and forceful treatment.  CECOR has four models of tilt carts:

• 048 Tilt Truck - 8 cu. ft.
• 318 Tilt Truck - 18 cu. ft.
• 327 Tilt Truck - 27 cu. ft.
• 340 Tilt Truck - 40 cu. ft.

 

 

Plastic carts have become popular in consumer and light duty service areas such as commercial laundries, and hospitality venues, but they have proven to be of insufficient robustness in production plants. Where metals, flammable soaked rags/paper, or pieces of lumber are commonly used and disposed of a more durable cart is needed.

Rugged construction is just one aspect of choosing the right utility tilt cart. Proper sizing, center of balance, and optimal dumping tilt angle are crucial for safety and ease of maneuvering, directly impacting work efficiency. A well-balanced tilt cart requires minimal effort from the operator to move, turn, and empty.

CECOR’s two-step dumping mechanism enhances safety by incorporating an intermediate stop as well as a final full dump position. This design allows the operator to have precise control over the utility tilt cart’s emptying process, reducing the risk of sudden or unexpected movements that could potentially cause injury.

CECOR's dumping utility tilt carts are engineered for the collection, transportation, and dumping of light-density materials. Featuring an ergonomic two-stage dumping system with reinforced dumping knees, these carts ensure complete, controlled, and safe emptying at floor or dock level.

With years of experience and listening to industrial and commercial users, CECOR has developed a series of utility tilt carts with capacities range from 8-40 cubic feet with load ratings from 360 – 850 lbs. that match the commonest application requirements of today’s production and maintenance environments.
