Cask beer dispense tilt vs fixed

[simon12]

Just wanted to check is the advantage in an auto tilt rather than a fixed cask just that you can get an idea how full it is or are there any other advantages? Cheers for any help here.

Casks are usually tapped when they are level on the stillage. Then tilted when they are getting near to being empty.

The auto tilt just makes this easier....

Cheers, I just asked a supplier (not exact one pictured) and he recons you may get an extra pint or 2 out with the tilt because it will always get to max tilt while the wire ones may not as they have to allow for slightly different cask shapes.
