The ROTAC® Tipper Difference
Most Efficient Tipper In the Industry
At Micromatic, we pride ourselves on being the leader of efficiency in the tipping industry. This achievement is attributed to our high-efficiency actuators, which not only minimize frictional forces but also reduce pressure requirements for lifting loads.
The result? Lower engine RPM, decreased fuel consumption, and minimal wear and tear – lower pressure to lift means more efficiency and lower cost of ownership.
Heavy Duty Steel Hooks vs Risky Latch Springs
While many competitors opt for latch springs in their tippers, Micromatic takes a different approach with the use of heavy-duty hooks, specifically in our ROTAC® tippers. Unlike latch springs prone to wear and tear, our heavy-duty hooks feature a robust design with built-in hard stops, reducing latching stress. With no springs in our tipper design, concerns about fatigue parts and changing forces are eliminated. The durability of our hooks ensures reliability during the tipping process, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
Rotary Vane Actuator vs Helical Actuator
In the world of actuators, the choice between helical and rotary vane is crucial. Competitors may opt for helical actuators, but Micromatic embraces the simplicity and efficiency of rotary vane actuators. Our design boasts only one moving part, a self-contained structure, and zero metal-to-metal contact, avoiding internal debris that can compromise seals. The rotary vane actuators deliver the highest torque output at standard operating pressure, available in various models catering to both pneumatic and hydraulic capabilities. ROTAC® Tippers uses a simple, industry proven actuator designed specifically for the waste industry and the harsh conditions it is required to operate in (rotary vane actuator shown below).
Additional Advantages
Micromatic's ROTAC® tippers offer a multitude of advantages, setting them apart as the market leader:
- Highest spline engagement among tippers
- Compatibility with most truck body sill widths
- Slim design for installation on dual-rote trucks with kick-bars
- Nickel-plated Grease Zerks designed to flush contamination and debris
- Fewer parts, translating to fewer failure points and lower cost of ownership
In Stock and Ready to Ship
Micromatic is the only manufacturer in the industry who designs, manufactures, and assembles the entire tipper assembly from start to finish. Unlike our competitors, the designs, materials, and construction of the lift iron and the actuator assembly are 100% made in the USA. Experience shorter lead times since we do not outsource the manufacturing of our actuators. Our products are in stock and ready to ship, ensuring your business experiences minimal downtime.
