NEW
BAYNE ETL 208 SERIES TIPPERS PROVIDE MORE GROUND CLEARANCE
Bayne’s newest lifts use compact design to lift
European-style carts
Greenville,
S.C. (Feb. 19, 2007) — The new ETL 208 series of hydraulic cart
tippers from Bayne Premium Lift Systems provide 50 percent more ground
clearance than similar models. As a result, they are less susceptible to
damage when mounted on rear loaders being driven over uneven roads or at
the landfill. ETL 208 lifters pick up European-style carts. |
The ETL 208 was
designed so that the cart-support arm tucks up compactly at idle,
positioning the lifter more than 20 inches above the ground, explains
Billy Bayne, research and development manager for Bayne Premium Lift
Systems. The ETL 208 also uses a sweeping action that automatically
compensates for uneven terrain. The sweeping action prevents operators
from having to manually pick up and place carts onto the lifter.
Customer feedback led Bayne to develop the ETL 208. “One of our
municipal customers asked for help because his refuse collection
vehicles’ cart tippers were being damaged on roads with low places and
steep spots,” Bayne says.
Working with the
customer, the company tested several prototypes in the field before
producing the higher-riding ETL 208.

Besides
its superior ground clearance, the series also features a lift capacity
of 375 pounds. A better clamping angle secures the cart when it’s
tipped 45 degrees, reducing the chance of the cart breaking free before
the 8- to 10-second lift cycle is complete. The ETL 208 also boasts a
broader cart pick-up envelope that compensates for the two sizes of
European carts.
Other
attributes of an ETL 208 are that it won’t interfere with the packer
blade on most rear loader models, and its compact design matches well
with commercial container lift bars. The ETL 208’s thin profile
permits it to work in conjunction with commercial container latch kits,
enabling one truck to pick up both residential and commercial refuse on
the same route.
