Solutions to Move & Maintain Wastewater Treatment Plant Equipment

Sludge Cart and Dumpster Positioning Systems

Thern winches eliminate the need for extra equipment and time when loading and unloading sludge carts and dumpsters. Use one heavy-duty electric winch and Thern’s precise positioning controls to move a receptacle two directions. This allows for sludge carts and dumpsters to be moved slowly during loading, then positioned for easy pick up and emptying. Once empty, use the same system to position the cart or dumpster at the starting location, ready to be evenly loaded again.

Through the use of a few simple pieces of rigging equipment and Thern’s variable-speed, programmable controls, the loading and unloading process of sludge carts and dumpsters no longer requires extra equipment and time to reposition the receptacle at any stage of the process. Allow the preprogrammed controls to operate the winch to multiple set positions at a simple press of a button.

When floor space is at a premium, Thern winches have valuable versatility. The winches may be mounted on the wall or even ceiling, reducing system footprint.
