Chip Trucks & Tilt Trucks

Chip Trucks & Tilt Trucks for Scrap and Waste Collection

 

Chip trucks and tilt trucks handle everyday waste, scrap, and small parts collection in machine shops, production floors, and warehouses. Chip trucks are purpose-built for metal shavings and cutting waste, while tilt trucks offer a general-purpose tilt-and-dump design for bulk trash and scrap.

Product Lines Available:

♦ Akro-Mils Heavy Duty Trash Tilt Trucks, easy-tilt design for fast, controlled dumping
♦ Bayhead Tilt Trucks, high-capacity waste handling with smooth tilt-and-dump design
♦ Jesco Chip Truck, 1,500-2,000 lb capacity, built for metal chips and scrap
♦ Vestil Chip Truck, 1,500-2,000 lb capacity, built for metal chips and scrap
♦ Vestil Parts Hopper, 1,000 lb capacity, for smaller parts and components
♦ Vestil Hopper, 2,000 lb capacity, for general scrap and waste collection

Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Material type: choose a Chip Truck specifically for metal shavings and cutting waste, or a Tilt Truck for general trash and bulk scrap.
♦ Capacity: choose the Vestil Hopper at 2,000 lb for general use, or the Parts Hopper at 1,000 lb for smaller components.
♦ Brand fit: choose Akro-Mils or Bayhead for tilt trucks, or Jesco or Vestil for chip trucks and hoppers.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Machine Shops, chip trucks collect metal shavings and cutting waste at the point of production.
♦ Manufacturing Floors, tilt trucks support fast, controlled dumping of general scrap and trash.
♦ Warehouses and Distribution Centers, high-capacity tilt trucks manage bulk waste handling.
♦ Small Parts Handling: The Parts Hopper organizes smaller components separately from general scrap.

CustomMHS carries the full line of Jesco, Vestil, Akro-Mils, and Bayhead chip trucks and tilt trucks, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a chip truck and a tilt truck?
Both are mobile containers that tip to discharge their contents, but they are built for different material. A chip truck is designed for metal shavings, turnings, and cutting waste from machining operations, which are dense, often oily, and abrasive. A tilt truck handles general trash and bulk scrap, where volume matters more than material density. CustomMHS carries chip trucks and tilt trucks from Jesco, Vestil, Akro-Mils, and Bayhead, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.
What capacities are available?
Jesco and Vestil chip trucks both cover 1,500 to 2,000 pounds, which suits the weight that accumulates quickly when collecting metal chips. The Vestil Hopper is rated at 2,000 pounds for general scrap and waste, and the Vestil Parts Hopper at 1,000 pounds for smaller components. Akro-Mils and Bayhead tilt trucks handle higher-volume waste where bulk rather than weight is the limiting factor.
Why use a dedicated chip truck instead of a general waste container?
Metal chips are heavy for their volume and often carry residual coolant or cutting oil, which a general trash container is not built to hold or drain. A chip truck's construction handles both the weight and the abrasion of metal waste over repeated cycles. Keeping chips in a dedicated container also keeps them separate from general trash, which matters when scrap metal is sold back rather than discarded.
When would I use a parts hopper?
The Vestil Parts Hopper at 1,000 pounds is for smaller components that need to stay separate from general scrap, such as finished parts moving between operations, rejects staged for review, or hardware collected during teardown. Mixing those into a general waste container risks losing usable parts, and a smaller dedicated container makes the separation obvious to everyone on the floor.
How do chip trucks and tilt trucks help your facility?
Placing a container at the machine means waste goes in where it is generated rather than accumulating on the floor or getting carried across the shop in smaller buckets, which cuts both trips and the bending that manual collection requires. The tilt-and-dump design then empties the load without shoveling or lifting, so a single operator handles the full cycle. Separating chips from general trash also supports scrap metal recovery, since clean segregated metal is worth more than material contaminated with shop waste. In machine shops, keeping cutting waste contained at the point of production also improves footing and housekeeping around equipment where oily chips would otherwise spread.
