Hinged carriage can tilt forward 45 degrees and backward 25 degrees with loading capacity from 2.5 ton to 6 tons in regular specification. Forklift mast has tilting function with 12 and 12 degrees toward forward and backward, but this degree level can't meet some special working areas like wood, architecture, construction, metal, livestock industry. But when a forklift installed a hinged carriage, it's tilting angles will increase to 57 degrees. Then forklift can dump most of all materials. 
Hinged carriage usually worked with a bucket or material container for dumping application. We also offer kinds of buckets and material containers. Please contact our sales team for more details.
