Low Headroom DFB Unloader

For those applications where there is minimal headroom, Young Industries offers our “DFB” Low Headroom Direct from Bag Unloader. This system uses a bag lifting bracket that is taken by forklift to the bulk bag. The bag is attached to the bracket and taken to the “DFB” Unloader. It is placed on the “DFB” mast. The mast is powered by a Pneumatic cylinder to raise and lower the bag as needed during the unloading cycle. This system is used for applications where as little as 8 ft. is available to unload bags.
