Loader Feeding Hopper

Forklift silo is a material storage and transportation device used in conjunction with forklifts, widely used in construction sites, warehouses, mines, agriculture, logistics and other industries. It can efficiently load, store, and transport various bulk materials such as sand, stone, fertilizers, grains, etc., greatly improving the efficiency and flexibility of material handling.

Equipment Structure And Composition

The shovel silo is mainly composed of the following parts:

Material silo body: usually made of metal, with a certain capacity and strength, capable of carrying and storing a large amount of materials.

Connection device: used to connect the silo with the shovel or boom of the shovel, commonly including quick change joints, hooks, etc., for easy installation and disassembly.

Discharge port and door: located at the bottom or side of the silo, used to control the outflow of materials. Some are designed to be manually opened, while others are hydraulically controlled to meet different work requirements.

Strengthening structure: including reinforcing ribs, support frames, etc., used to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the silo, ensuring the integrity of the structure when loading heavy objects.

Safety devices: such as limit switches, emergency stop buttons, etc., used to ensure the safety of operators and equipment.

Working Principle

The working principle of the shovel silo is to use the power and operational flexibility of the shovel to move the silo to the material pile or loading point. The operator controls the lifting and tilting of the silo through the hydraulic system of the shovel, achieving material loading. After loading is completed, the operator can control the shovel to transport the silo to the destination, and unload the material to the designated location by opening the discharge port or door. The entire process is fast and efficient, reducing manpower requirements and improving material handling efficiency.

Equipment Features

High flexibility: able to be compatible with various models of forklifts, adapting to different working environments and material handling requirements.

Efficient material handling: Quickly load and unload materials, improve material flow speed, and reduce waiting time.

Multifunctionality: In addition to loading and transporting materials, it can also be used for temporary storage of materials, increasing the continuity and efficiency of operations.

Easy to operate and maintain: The connection device is designed reasonably, easy to install and disassemble, the silo structure is sturdy, and the maintenance cost is low.

Safety: Designed with safety devices to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment during operation.

Durability: Using high-strength materials and structural design, it can withstand heavy loads and harsh environments, extending its service life.
