INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – EM1-200 & -500, EHTT, EHTT-L
Review this entire page before installing the tilting table.
Consult the factory in the event there are any questions or problems at the time of installation, or for
information regarding optional features not covered by the owner’s manual.
The tilting table must be removed from the shipping wood and securely anchored to the floor before use! The
EM1-500 platform must be tilted to the 90° position, and support ed if necessary, before removing the shipping wood.
• Modifications or additions to the tilting table without prior manufacturer’s authorization may void the unit’s
warranty. The addition of ancillary equipment to the platform may necessitate that its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made so that it complies with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its
location. The end-user must verify that the supplied equipment is installed so it will be suited to the environment
in which it will be used.
• Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with access to the appropriate equipment. The
electrical aspects of the installation should be performed by an electrician.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a typical installation of a standard tilting table you will need the following:
1. A fork truck or hoisting means to unload the tilting table from the freight truck and set it into place.
2. A smooth, level, and adequately strong concrete surface on which to mount and operate the tilting table.
3. Concrete anchors, a masonry drill, a masonry bit, hand tools, grout, and steel shims. Consult the building’s
architect or facility engineer to determine the best size and type of hardware with which to anchor the machine to
the floor.
• Units designed to be portable do not need to be anchored to the floor.
4. A power supply circuit and electrical disconnect matching the motor voltage and current requirem ents. Refer to
the machine’s dataplate, to the labels on the control enclosure, and to the electrical section in this manual for
more information. The end-user is responsible for supplying the branch circuit’s required ground fault and shortcircuit protection. (Motor overload protection is provided by a thermostat built into the motor.)
---------------------------------------
To install a standard non-portable tilting table:
1. Remove the shipping boards from underneath the tilter’s frame.
Caution: On EM1-500’s, tilt the platform down fully (the cylinder will be extended) before removing the boards.
Otherwise, the unit could be top-heavy and tip over unexpectedly.
2. Move the tilter into place with a fork truck having at least a 2,000 lb capacity.
3. Temporarily connect the power supply to the pigtail cord supplied with the tilting table, and tilt the platform to its
maximum angle so that the control enclosure is accessible.
o If the platform must be tilted without first having the proper power supply connected, support under the backstop
side of the platform by either attaching rigging from a crane or hoist, or insert ing a lift truck’s forks under the
platform. Carefully unpin one end of the cylinder(s) and allow the platform to tilt to its maximum angle. Once the
power supply is connected, press the LOWER pushbutton to allow the cylinders to retract. (Single-acting cylinders
must be manually compressed in order to retract.) Finally, reinstall the cylinder pin and its hardware.
Anchor the frame to the floor through each anchoring bracket located at the frame’s perimeter using appropriate
4.
concrete anchors.
5. Make permanent connection to the power supply, using an appropriate wiring method.
6. Operate the tilting table through several full raise and lower cycles. Verify that the limit switch(es) functions
properly.
7. Check the hydraulic oil level. It should be within 1” of the reservoir’s fill hole with the cylinders retracted. If oil
is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 at 40°C) or a nonsynthetic automatic transmission fluid.
8. Clean up any debris or spilled oil, and verify that all of the warning and safety labels are in good condition.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS – EM1-200 & -500, EHTT, EHTT-L
o Consult ANSI MH29.2 - 2000, Safety Requirements for Industrial Tilters, Section 12, for the owner’s / user’s
responsibilities regarding the operation, care, and maintenanc e of this machine.
o Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this machine understand and follow these instructions!
The standard tilt table models are suitable for use indoors in most industrial locations and many c om mercial
locations. They are intended to be used to tilt stable, non-hazardous loads and containers with rigid sides having a size
or footprint appropriate for the tilter’s platform and backstop dimensions.
Loading:
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate located on the front side (opposite the backstop) of the
platform. It indicates the net capacity of the machine with a static load that is centered and evenly distributed on the
platform, and having a vertical center of gravity not more than 20” above the platform surface and a horizontal center
of gravity not more than 20” from the backstop.
For applications involving dynamic loads, such as for use with conveyor systems which create side or end edge loading
of the platform, consult the factory.
Do not exceed a rate of one foot per second when moving loads onto or across the platform.
Always center the load against the backstop of the platform to prevent sudden load shifting when the platform is
tilted.
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the platform by third parties must be taken into account when
determining the maximum working load to be placed on the platform.
Warning: Do not exceed the tilting table’s load ratings. Injury to personnel or permanent damage to the structure
could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
Operation:
Warning: Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Be certain no part of any person or o bject is
under any part of the platform before lowering the unit.
Caution: Always carefully watch the container and any load in it when it is in operation.
The tilting table is furnished with either a constant-pressure (dead-man style) pushbutton (standard), or a twin foot
switch (optional) control.
Note: The tilter is “raising” when the platform to which the cylinder is attached is moving to the level position.
Therefore, on standard EM1-200 and EM1-500 units, the cylinder(s) will extend when the “UP” control is pressed.
On standard EHTT and EHTT-L units, the cylinder(s) will retract when the “UP” control is pressed.
For all models:
Pressing the “UP” pushbutton or foot switch will turn on the power unit to raise the platform. The platform will
raise only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its position.
For the EM1-200:
Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton or foot switch will energize the lowering valve to allow the platform to descend by
gravity (the motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the platform movement, and the unit will hold
its position.
For the EM1-500, EHTT, and EHTT-L:
Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton or foot switch will turn on the power unit to lower the platform. Releasing the
control will stop the platform movement, and the unit will hold its position.
Caution: Never use the tilting table if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of repairs, or if it seems
to be malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this manual.

THE POWER UNIT’S OPERATION -- EM1-200 & -500, EHTT, EHTT-L
The electric / hydraulic tilting tables utilize an electric motor directly coupled to a gear-type hydraulic pump to produce the
needed fluid pressure and flow to allow the cylinders to perform the work of tilting a container or pallet.
A hydraulic manifold houses the hydraulic control components, and is bolted directly onto the gear pump.
The power unit’s hydraulic components are all rated for 3,000 psi working pressure.
* Important parts of the power unit include:
♦ The electric motor. Motors are available for operation on single- or three-phase AC supplies (all are dual-voltage capable).
♦ The gear pump. Its shaft is coupled directly to the shaft of the electric motor. Several displacements are available, depending
on the motor horsepower used.
♦ The check valve. Its purpose is to prevent the backflow of fluid through the pump. In this way it allows the platform to be held
at a given elevation indefinitely.
♦ The pressure relief valve. Its job is to open a path for fluid to flow back to the reservoir in the event that the fluid pressure
built up by the pump exceeds 3,000 psi. Thus the system cannot see more than 3,000 psi.
♦ The lowering solenoid valve (EM1-200 only). This is an electr ically-operated cartridge valve. It contains a screen to keep
contaminants from entering the valve.
♦ The 3-way, 2-position valv es (EM1-500, EHTT, EHTT-L). These valves control the direction of oil flow in double-acting circuits.
♦ The counterbalance valves (EM1-500, EHTT, EHTT-L). These valves allow for smooth motion in double-acting circuits.
♦ The pressure-compensated flow control spool (EM1-200 only). This regulates the fluid flow back to the reservoir when the valve
opens. It allows the platform to always lower at the same rate regardless of whether there is a load on the platform or not.
Several sizes are available.
♦ The hydraulic cylinder(s). See the note below to bleed air from the cylinder.
♦ The safety velocity fuse. This is a device that is installed in the cylinder’s blind-end hose port. It closes quickly in the event of
a catastrophic hose failure to prevent the platform from collapsing down. The platform will remain stationary until pressure is
reapplied to the system.
♦ The hydraulic fluid. The system uses HO150 hydraulic fl uid. Any anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at
100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) such as AW-32 or Dexron transmission fluid are acceptable.
→ When the platform is to be leveled (the backstop raised), press the “RAISE” pushbutton. The motor turns, and in turning it
spins the hydraulic gear pump. Oil is drawn from the reservoir through the suction filter and into the pump.
For the EM1-200:
• The pump pushes the pressurized oil through the check valve and out to the cylinder(s). Releasing the pushbutton at any point
will stop the motion, and the platform will hold at that angle. An upper travel limit switch turns off the motor when the
platform is at its maximum tilt angle.
For the EM1-500, the EHTT, and the EHTT-L:
• The pump pushes the pressurized oil through an actuated directional valve, then through a counterbalance valve, and out to the
blind end of the cylinder(s). Oil is pushed out of the rod end of the cylinder, through a counterbalance valve and the nonactuated directional valve (it stays in its default position), and back to the reservoir.
→ When the platform is to be tilted (the backstop lowered), press the “LOWER” pushbutton.
For the EM1-200:
The lowering valve opens, bypassing the check valve and allowing the oil in the cylinder to return back to the reservoir through
•
the return hose. The rate at which the platform lowers is regulated by the internal pressure-compensated flow spool.
Releasing the pushbutton at any point will stop the motion, and the platform will hold at that angle.
For the EM1-500, the EHTT, and the EHTT-L:
• The pump pushes the pressurized oil through an actuated directional valve, through a counterbalance valve, and out to the rod
end of the cylinder(s). Oil is pushed out of the blind end of the cylinder, through a counterbalance valve and the non-actuated
directional valve (in its default position), and back to the reservoir.
* In the event that the platform creeps down slowly after releasing a “LOWER” control, it will be necessary to remove the
lowering cartridge valve for inspection and cleaning, as follows:
• Remove any load from the platform.
• Fully tilt or adequately support the platform so that it is safe to work underneath. (Comply with OSHA regulations.)
• Remove the nut holding the solenoid coil on the valve stem, then remove the coil, then unscrew the valve from the manifold.
• Inspect the valve for contaminants, and the valve’s o-rings and back-up washers for cuts, tears, or other damage.
• With the valve immersed in mineral spirits or kerosene, use a thin tool such as a small screwdriver or a small hex wrench to
push the poppet in and out several times from the bottom end of the valve. The valve should move freely, about 1/16” from
closed to open position. If it sticks in, the valve stem could be bent and will need to be replaced if it doesn’t free up after
cleaning. Blow the valve off with a compressed-air gun while again pushing the poppet in and out.
• Inspect the bottom of the manifold’s valve cavity for contaminants.
• Reinstall the valve into the manifold, tightening the valve with approximately 20 lb-ft of torque.
* If the platform lowers extremely slowly, or not at all, the cylinder’s velocity fuse could be closing. This can be caused by
air in the hydraulic cylinder. To bleed the air from the system:
• Remove any load from the platform. This will reduce the fluid pressure in the cylinder(s), and the velocity fuse(s) will open.
• Fully tilt or adequately support the platform so that it is safe to work underneath. (Comply with OSHA regulations.)
• Unpin and drop the higher end of the cylinder(s) down. Hold a rag over the cylinder’s blind-end hose fitting and loosen the
fitting about ½ turn . Push the cylinder rod in. Oil and air will sputter from the fitting – once no air is observed, tighten the
hose fitting and reattach the rod end of the cylinder to the platform.
