Tipping containers for forklifts 75 models – 0.15 to 5 m³ · up to 4000 kg · stacking tippers, heavy-duty, large-volume
Tipping containers for forklifts in every size and design – compact stacking tippers BSK (from €328), mini tipping containers with a low pouring edge, automatically tipping 4A containers, special models that tip to three sides, heavy-duty tippers SK up to 4000 kg, large-volume containers BKC up to 5 m³ and several proven series for all common areas of use in industry, trades and logistics.
Standard & stacking tippers
Most tipping containers are tipped forward to one side and picked up via the fork tines. Stacking tippers of the BSK series can be stacked empty on top of each other and thus save considerable storage space. Mini tipping containers MGU are particularly flat and have a low pouring edge, ideal when the container is to be filled by hand. The EXPO, GU, NK, BK and other series cover all common volume ranges from 0.15 to 2 m³.
Automatic & 3-sided tipping containers
Automatic tipping containers (4A series) tip on their own when they are set down on the ground – the contents empty automatically without any further action. 3-sided tipping containers (3S series) can be tipped to three sides, which makes positioning during emptying considerably more flexible. Both special forms are suitable for automated processes or cramped discharge positions.
Heavy-duty tipper SK – up to 4000 kg
The heavy-duty tippers of the SK series are designed for particularly heavy bulk materials – with a load capacity of up to 4000 kg, they are double to quadruple that of standard containers. Robustly constructed for ore, metal chips, stones and other heavy goods. Volume ranges 0.3 to 2.1 m³.
Large-volume tipping containers & special forms
Large-volume containers of the BKC series hold 2 to 5 m³ and are designed for the bulk removal of bulk material, construction rubble and industrial waste. The TRIO container offers three separate chambers (0.6 m³ each) in one container for simultaneous waste separation. The mesh-box turner RGW tips mesh boxes with the forklift.

Finding the right tipping container for your application
Which volume do I need?
Rule of thumb: the volume depends on the quantity to be removed per trip. 0.3–0.6 m³: for smaller quantities, handy, for compact forklifts. 0.75–1.2 m³: the most-used range, fits standard forklifts. 1.5–2 m³: for high throughput. 2–5 m³ (BKC series): for large quantities and heavy-duty forklifts. Always check: forklift load capacity ≥ container own weight + fill weight.
Which load capacity is needed?
Standard tipping containers carry 500–1500 kg. BKM series: up to 3000 kg. BKC large-volume: up to 2500 kg. Heavy-duty SK: up to 4000 kg – for metal chips, ore, stones. The load capacity must exceed the actual fill weight of the container. Added to this is the own weight – together this gives the forklift load. Heavy bulk material (steel, sand, gravel) weighs 1400–7800 kg per m³, which is far above the container load capacity: fill only partially!
How does the container empty?
Manually (standard): the forklift tips the tines and the container empties forward. Automatically (4A): when set down on the ground, the container tips on its own. No additional action needed – ideal for assembly-line processes. 3-sided (3S): emptying to three directions selectable – flexible with cramped discharge points.
Stackable – when space is tight
Stacking tipper BSK: empty containers can be triple-stacked – three BSK on top of each other need only the floor space of one container. Ideal for operations with many containers and limited storage space. All other tipping-container series are generally not stackable. Anyone with many containers in use should consider the BSK series.
TRIO – waste separation in one container
The TRIO tipping container has three separate chambers (0.6 m³ each) in one container frame – one trip with the forklift, three fractions transported at the same time. Ideal for operations with legally required waste separation (paper, plastic, residual waste). Total load capacity 1500 kg, total weight 305 kg.
Galvanised or painted?
Galvanised: lasting corrosion protection – recommended for damp bulk materials (sand, construction rubble, wet waste), outdoor use and permanent use. Extra weight about 5–15 kg. Painted: cheaper, sufficient for dry goods and covered use. For frequently changing, aggressive media and the outdoor area, always choose galvanised.
