Scrap Metal Container Loading – Tolmets Latvia

Tolmets Latvia, a company operating in the metal, steel, waste, and recycling industry, needed an effective solution for loading bulk scrap metal into 20ft containers. SmartTEH provided equipment to address key operational issues such as loading accuracy and safety risks.

Client: Tolmets
Industry: Metalworking
Country: Latvia 🇱🇻
Year: 2022

SmartTEH installed a Container Tilter to vertically tilt containers up to 90°, making it easier and safer to load scrap metal from above. Additionally, an online scale system was integrated, allowing precise real-time weight monitoring. A ladder with a secure platform was also added to improve worker safety during loading.

With this solution, Tolmets Latvia significantly reduced container loading time—from about 30 minutes to just 5 minutes. Real-time weight monitoring ensured containers were never overloaded, completely eliminating fines and additional costs. Vertical loading prevented damage to containers and increased workplace safety.
