Hapman, Kalamazoo, MI, has introduced a low-clearance bulk bag discharger which has been engineered to operate in low-ceiling facilities where standard unloaders either will not fit or are difficult to use. In such circumstances, many competitive models require forklift operators to perform the difficult task of raising the top section by a comfortable margin over the base to balance it on corner posts while being visually obstructed by the bulk bag. Hapman engineers designed an all-new, patent-pending slide rail configuration that is easy to assemble and requires no additional headroom.  Integrated UHMW-lined troughs with fork guides permit the operator to glide the sections into position reliably and accurately. Sturdy slide rails on the base wrap around the I-beam glides, securely holding them in place for increased safety during assembly and operation. Hapman’s European head office is in Opole, Poland. www.hapman.eu
