Phelps Industries, Inc. products

The Phelps Low Profile Landfill Trailer Tipper is designed for over-the-road transportation, when several major components are unpinned and removed comprising a second trailer load. Tipper is designed to raise itself in front for coupling to a truck/tractor or converter dolly for relocation in the landfill. Time required for in-the-cell relocation is approximately fifteen minutes. This ease of movement is critical to landfill operation to save the costs of long distance pushing of materials away from tipper. All portable landfill tippers utilize a self-contained diesel powered hydraulic power unit.

Our extended arm dumper follows and extended radius over our 4,400 cubic foot hopper for complete unloading. This in turn allows for full turn around for hauler and plant receiving operations. Several standard live bottom receiving hoppers are available in a variety of holding capacities and discharge rates. All hoppers are available for handling wood chips, bark, wood waste and other bulk materials, such as produce, scrap tires and solid waste. Mechanical and hydraulic drives operate a choice of drag chain or reciprocating floors.

Paper mills and biomass plants that receive bark, hogged fuel and wood waste for energy or paper production have seen a change in the quality of these raw materials. New and existing bark hoppers all have the same coherent problem handling these raw materials regardless of the hopper width or length – bridging inside the hopper or bottlenecking at the metering gate.

Phelps Industries started designing and manufacturing cylinders in 1980. Our improvements and facility expansions allowed us to offer a quality cylinder into the market place.
