Bag Support Frameworks

Upper and lower frameworks

combine to safely support and
contain the bulk bag. The framework
should be configured so that the
operator never stands directly under
the bag during all phases of lifting,
positioning and discharging the bag.

Fork Lift Bag Support Framework: The economical frame design

has a capacity of 4000 lbs. and is designed to allow easy placement of the bag
hanger into the support framework by the forklift operator.

The unique upper frame is designed with 36” of height adjustability to accommodate a
wide range of bag sizes. The upper frame height adjustment holes are drilled through a
separate welded on plate in stead of directly through the upright tubes as found on most
other commercially available dischargers. This eliminates potential places for dust and other
undesirable foreign materials from settling
within the framework.

The fork lift style hanger bar

is positively retained on the
framework with stop blocks Fork Lift Loading
to eliminate the potential
for the hanger bar and full

slide off the frame as the
fork truck is backing out of
the load position.
