How to operate the tipper|dump trailer?

A dump semi-trailer is a vehicle that unloads the goods by itself by hydraulic or mechanical lifting. It is composed of chassis, hydraulic lifting mechanism, cargo box, and power take-off device.


The carriage of the dump truck is divided into two types: rearward tipping and sideward tipping. The movement of the piston rod is controlled by the control system.



Operating procedures

1. Do not suddenly push the lifting handle to the "lowering position" in the middle of full-load lifting.

If such an operation error occurs, the carriage will suddenly rush down, which will bring a great impact on the frame, and even cause an accident. Therefore, the above-mentioned operations should be avoided as much as possible. If there are special circumstances, it must be operated carefully, the descent speed should be slowed down as much as possible, and the carriage must not be suddenly dropped to the bottom.

2. It is not allowed to use the slam-lift truck - slam the brakes to unload the goods.

Due to the large inertial force (usually 5~20 times of the rated lifting force), it is very easy to cause permanent deformation of the frame, welding of the carriage and the auxiliary frame, burning of the oil pump, damage to the sealing ring, damage to the hydraulic cylinder, etc. , the service life of the vehicle is reduced, and in severe cases, a rollover accident will occur. Therefore, it is generally forbidden to drive the dump truck when it is lifted.

3. After the dump truck unloads the goods, the power take-off must be disengaged before driving.

If this operation error occurs, when the dump truck is driving, since the power take-off is in the "engaged" position, the lift oil pump will run at high speed for a long time without load in the "small cycle" state. As a result, the temperature of the hydraulic oil rises rapidly, which is easy to cause damage to the oil seal of the oil pump, and even the phenomenon of "burning out" of the oil pump; more seriously, the operation of the oil pump means that the hydraulic system has a power source, and it is easy to cause the carriage to automatically rise during the driving process. accident.

4. The power take-off cannot be in the "on" position when driving.

If it is in the "on" state (the red light is on), the oil pump will continue to rotate, and the hydraulic system will have a power source, which will cause the carriage to automatically lift due to misoperation on the air control valve; Even if the control distribution valve is in the "down" position, the oil will enter the oil pump, which will cause the oil pump to burn out.



Maintenance Tips

1. The new dump truck or the overhauled truck must be tested to make the lifting process of the carriage smooth and without movement.

2. The lubricating oil should be correctly selected for each part according to the regulations, which greatly saves unloading time and labor, and the lifting mechanism should replace the oil on schedule.

3. Ship according to the rated load, and overload is strictly prohibited.

20/40/45/53 ft Flatbed Trailer Dimensions & Specifications

Different types of flatbed semi trailer 1. Common flatbed trailer for sale: TITAN flatbed trailer is a kind of trailer whose design is suitably made to carry bulk cargo and containers between shipping facilities and terminals. By simple definition, this is a long flat platform of either 20ft, 40ft, 48ft or 53ft length. Flatbed trailer for sale is usually used to transport 20ft or 40ft containers, they are mainly used for container transportation supporting ships, ports, shipping lanes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport. Flatbed trailer is carefully designed to desired heights and weight capacity to safely load and transport cargoes from one location to another. Use 40 ft flatbed trailer to transfer cargo at the shipper’s warehouse. Unloaded to the consignee’s warehouse, when changing trailer or boat on the way, there is no need to take the goods out of the box and change them. The size of the flatbed semi trailer loading area is determined accordi...

Different types of superlink trailers specifications

 What is a superlink trailer? The transportation industry has different types of vehicles and platforms that are used to meet different demands and needs. One such means of transportation used is the superlink trailer.Just like is the case with other means of transportation, this type of trailer is suited for certain applications that would otherwise not be addressed through the use of other types of transportation platforms and vehicles. For the superlink trailer is populaized because of its flexibility. Each of the trailers can operate independently and increase the utilization coefficient of the tractor truck. In this case, superlink trailer truck makes transportation much easier. TITAN superlink trailers for sale are noted for their highly robust structure steel, we can provide difference configurations of our superlink trailer to meet your transportation requirement. Detailed in here is extensive information about what makes this type of trailer and where it is used. What are...

How does a side lifter work?

The Titan engineering team invested a lot of design time to achieve the optimal geometry of the crane.  This is a crucial factor because it is often difficult to place trailers near containers. The wide reach allows the operator to lift the container even if the trailer is at a distance.The demanding requirements of the various tasks that the weightlifter must be able to complete means that the position of the arm pivot point and the actual arm length must be optimized to ensure that all tasks and side lifter work can be completed. Through unremitting optimization, a large extension of 3.9 meters was finally achieved, while still being able to perform dual stacking functions on 9.6-foot containers, and maintaining a low profile making it an ideal product. This makes the side loader work better. This is a challenging task, because any small adjustment will have a significant impact on the final performance, and often a small adjustment to improve one function will have a greater ...
