Auxiliary equipment supplier , Fairfield, N.J., is now the North American representative for container loading and unloading tilters from of New Zealand. The companies say they have seen a significant increase in demand for container tilters as resin suppliers and compounders shift from shipping many small bags to single container liner bags.

Built-in remote controls ensure that the container loading process is a one-man operation and the option of adding a scale system to the machine allows the container to be weighed during loading.
